Doha, Qatar: KPMG announced the official launch of the KPMG Learning Academy, an initiative designed to serve organizations, and its people, in Qatar with critical skills to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment.
The Academy aims to foster a culture of lifelong learning, innovation, and capacity building. The KPMG Learning Academy offers learning and training services tailored to organisations’ needs, drawing on KPMG’s global and regional expertise.
The Academy covers areas such as AI for business, digital transformation, leadership development, finance, tax, and regulatory compliance. Its services catalogue is developed by industry experts and aligned with global standards.
The Academy follows a competency-based training approach, covering competency assessment, program design, and delivery. Recognising the demands of today’s fast-paced work environment, the Academy provides immersive learning options, including bespoke learning experiences tailored to the market, industry, and required competency levels.
KPMG’s learning model combines instructor-led training (ILT), e-learning, and on-the-job training to enhance knowledge retention, enable practical application, and ensure achievement of targeted competency levels—offering learners a fresh and practical learning experience.
The Academy will also serve as a collaboration hub, bringing together leading academics, industry partners, and KPMG professionals to share insights and best practices.
Through regular seminars, webinars, and networking events, the Academy will connect learners with thought leaders and promote innovation and knowledge exchange across sectors.
“We are pleased to launch the KPMG Learning Academy in Qatar, a strategic step to support the country’s long-term goals,” said Fabiano Gobbo the KPMG Europe Middle East and Africa Advisory Lead.
“KPMG UK is privileged to be involved with this important and exciting initiative.

The launch of the Learning Academy continues this commitment by equipping people and organisations with skills for growth, leadership, and change, directly contributing to QNV 2030 through human capital development,” said Ahmed Abu-Sharkh, KPMG in Qatar Country Senior Partner.
“The Learning Academy is an initiative that complements our Advisory services by supporting knowledge transfer to our clients and equipping them with the right capabilities to implement and realise their strategies,” said Venkat Krishnaswamy, KPMG in Qatar Head of Advisory.
