PQA are a nightmare, but everything else makes up for them.

PQA support = 2; Wider team and network support = 9/10

BPP go above and beyond to ensure we are confident to pass before entering an exam. If additional support is required then we are given a work coach to support us.

The qualification provides greater context and background knowledge that is required to do the work. It also supports professional competence to improve one’s engagement with clients.

There is plenty to do at KPMG. Social events are a regular for different colleagues across regions to reconnect; There are sports clubs such as football, bouldering, running etc. There is also a company gym in the London office. The E grades get together quite regularly to do activities around town and there are social team gatherings once a month, every Thursday.
