Benefits and opportunity details
three-year programme, audit experience, technical training and examination preparation. Pay: not stated.
Who can apply
Matric with university entrance; studying an accounting degree at a SAICA-endorsed university; PGDA completed before joining. On-site in Cape Town.
What the Forvis Mazars 2028 graduate training programme offers
This is a three-year trainee-accountant pathway, not a short work-experience placement. The official vacancy describes exposure to audit work across sectors, supported by technical and professional training. Access to mentors and training resources is intended to help trainees develop alongside their day-to-day work.
Preparation for the CTA, IAC and APC stages is among the advertised development benefits. Applicants should distinguish this support from a guarantee that they will pass an assessment or qualify automatically. Professional progress still depends on satisfying the relevant academic, training and assessment requirements.
The listing also mentions secondment opportunities after the contract. These are opportunities rather than a guaranteed overseas placement for every trainee. No salary figure is published in this particular vacancy, so an applicant should not budget around an unofficial amount.
Understand the qualification timeline
The entry conditions include Matric with university entrance and study toward an accounting degree at a SAICA-endorsed university. The PGDA requirement applies before joining the programme. This timing is important for students who are still progressing through their studies: being eligible to submit an application now does not remove the requirement to complete the stated qualification before starting.
As practical preparation, map your expected graduation and postgraduate study dates against the 2028 intake. If your timeline is uncertain, seek clarification through the employer’s official recruitment process before assuming that a later completion date will be accepted. This suggestion is reader guidance, not an additional condition introduced by the employer.
Work arrangement and programme fit
The vacancy is on-site in Cape Town and is classified by the employer as a learnership. Applicants should assess both the professional training pathway and the practical ability to attend the workplace. Do not assume that an accounting training programme can be completed remotely merely because some recruitment steps take place online.
This opportunity is most relevant to applicants following the stated accounting qualification route. Someone seeking a broader graduate development option can also compare the separate PSG graduate programme with a 12-month contract and mentorship. That programme has its own intake, disciplines and eligibility criteria; it is not the same application or training contract.
