Welcome Hello,

Thank you for your interest in PwC’s Professional Development programmes. We have been developing our own people for over 100 years and it is this deep experience of helping professionals become business leaders that is embedded into all PwC’s Academy programmes. As a business ourselves, we recognise that our professional development programmes must lead to improved performance and be a profitable investment of time and money. To ensure we deliver on this commitment, we develop talent through building on not just what people know, but how they think and what they do – not as separate components but as an integrated process to create impact and deliver change. Our trainers are subject matter experts within the PwC network and dedicated Academy staff, each of whom bring their wealth of knowledge and practical industry experience to our programmes. Whether you are looking for training for yourself, for a few employees, or for your entire organisation, our professional development course calendar will help you develop the knowledge, mindset and skills needed to solve today’s important problems and predict, prevent and manage tomorrow’s.

We look forward to welcoming you to PwC’s Academy.
