Our approach
Successful organisational change and personal development require accurate and up-to-date knowledge, competences and also the trainer’s mindset. In a fast-changing business environment, it is essential that learning and development activities are aligned with the strategic needs of the business. We team up with our clients to develop learning solutions, which impact positively on business outcomes and steer people forward.

Our trainers
Our trainings are effective largely thanks to the performance of our trainers. We follow a rigorous selection process and criteria when choosing our instructors to cater to specific business contexts, audience and learning formats.
In our selection criteria, we look for:
Knowledge of the training theme supported by a proven track record;
Experience in training delivery as well as in event facilitation;
Previous experience in teaching a similar audience;
Quality of course support material provided in advance by a potential trainer;
Audience feedback.
To select the most suitable trainer, we use the three different talent pools we have developed over the years:
- Internal trainers
- External partners
- Academic partners
Internal trainers
The extensive PricewaterhouseCoopers network of professionals constitute our primary resource. Our trainers are seasoned professionals in the fields of audit and controlling, tax, finance and advisory services and hold the necessary pedagogical background. We leverage both local and international PwC networks to tailor each course to the specific needs of our clients and deliver transnational training journeys.
External partners
PwC's Academy has also developed long lasting partnerships with external subject matter experts to complement the internal trainers' pool on personal development related courses. These external partners are rigorously chosen and strictly comply with our quality requirements. Our partnerships with external providers are transparent and openly discussed with the client upfront.
Academic partners
PwC's Academy works regularly with universities and business schools to leverage academic research and pedagogical excellence for the benefit of clients.
