Accountancy Scholarship

Each year, all Kaplan Financial centres offer a scholarship. This allows the winner to have their AAT training free of charge, followed by their choice of ICAEW, CIMA or ACCA. The total value of this training is over £15,000 and will significantly enhance the CV of the winner. This scheme is open to anyone in years 11, 12 and 13 subject to certain criteria.

Kaplan Summer Schools

Each Kaplan centre runs a FREE 4 day programme during the summer holidays giving the attendees the opportunity to learn about a career in business. Topics covered include preparing a good CV, interview skills and a practical exercise in setting up a business and making key business decisions. This scheme is open to anyone in years 11, 12 and 13.

CV Service

We work very closely with our employers to understand their businesses and their recruitment patterns. This has allowed us to set up our CV Service in each centre to help young people looking to start a career in Business or Finance. This is available to school leavers (year 11, 12 or 13).
Simply email your students CV to steponup@kaplan.co.uk and let us help your students to find suitable employment to start an Apprenticeship.
