We want you to set challenging goals for yourself and we’re committed to providing you with the support you need to reach them. This is why we offer one of the best UFE training programs in the country. While the program will differ somewhat depending on what provincial/regional program you are registered under, the following are some of the key factors that help make KPMG’s national and local UFE training a competitive advantage for our people and a point of pride for KPMG employees:
KPMG's National UFE Training Program is led by a National UFE Program Team which is dedicated to helping ensure that KPMG's program meets the needs of the KPMG candidates.

- Professional marking with feedback provided by experienced exam markers from across the country
- Debriefings by Densmore Consulting and/or recent successful UFE writers in the local office
- Excellent resource tool that assists in understanding the competency-based UFE
- Technical summaries for each competency area to promote the efficient use of study time
- Personalized attention from a recent successful UFE writer
- Encouragement, support, and direction from someone who has been through the process
- Assistance with marking and debriefing practice exams
KPMG people receive a competitive number of paid and unpaid study days provided throughout the UFE process. Other compensation and incentives include:
- KPMG pays all exam fees in advance for first-time writers
- KPMG pays all student fees, initiation fees (upon qualification) and annual CA dues
- KPMG's Incentive Program provides bonuses for exceptional exam results
- KPMG's national marking policy encourages and supports employees to become Provincial exam and UFE markers, leading to knowledgeable in-house staff

KPMG has an open-door policy. If you have any questions you need answered or require help at any point throughout the study process, there is always a team member available to help you out. The best people to ask are those who are a year ahead of you. They will have recently completed the process, and will understand all the questions you may have regarding your professional exams.
