Live virtual training

KPMG offers live virtual training to fit the new realities of remote work.

With many employees continuing to work from home at least part of the time, KPMG in Bermuda has developed virtual training experiences in the form of virtual public open-enrollment courses delivered to employees from different companies.

Like all the courses we’ve offered in the past, our virtual sessions will impart the skills people require for real-work situations.
