About the KPMG Learning Academy

The KPMG Learning Academy brings together our breadth and depth of subject matter expertise with our learning design and technology skills and capabilities. We deliver a range of off-the-shelf digital, blended, and classroom courses on a wide range of subjects, delivered through our secure and accessible online platform.

The Academy enables us to bring to you our rich experience of working across a diverse spectrum of clients, solutions and industries. The sheer range of areas that we work in – professional services across tax and advisory – is extensive and the purpose of the Academy is to make available this great body of knowledge through learning offerings. It serves as a centre of excellence that houses thought leadership and best practices observed across our client organisations.

The hallmark of the Academy is its approach – by working with clients on solving for a business need, our learning programmes are outcome-focussed and embedded in our consulting experience. We partner with organisations through building holistic, integrated learning modules relevant to business problems rather than conducting isolated training programmes. The Academy curriculum is designed to deliver more than just training, but measurable skills and capability that an organisation needs to realise its strategic aims.
