At KPMG, everyone brings a unique perspective, and we want to ensure that you have the best opportunity to demonstrate your potential. We want to discover your individual strengths and attributes to help us to know whether you’ll enjoy working here and how you’ll thrive. That's why we’ve designed our application process to assess everyone’s potential and to ensure that you have the skills to succeed at KPMG.

You’ll generally be expected to demonstrate the following:

• 5 GCSEs* at A* – C or at 4 – 9 (inc. English Language and Maths), or for Scotland 5 Standard Grades at Grades A – C (inc. English Language and Maths)

As part of your application, you will be given the opportunity to share any extenuating circumstances that may have impacted your GCSE (or equivalent) outcomes. Supplying us with this information will not negatively impact your application, but it may provide a positive uplift on your academic achievements. You can also choose to opt out of sharing it.

Throughout the recruitment process we will be looking to learn more about your strengths.

To be successful on this programme, you will be required to demonstrate the strengths that we look for in our apprentices at KPMG.
