Institute news
Having cancelled the June exam window for Applied Skills (Exc Law) and Strategic Professional in the UK the next available sitting will be September 2020.
Impact on courses
If you were booked onto a June OnDemand or Distance Learning course, your course is ‘complete’ and already includes all the revision and exam preparation resources you need to prepare for the exam in September.
We are currently delivering our ACCA September classroom courses via Live Online and we continue to review the opportunity to bring face to face courses back into the classroom when it is safe and practical to do so. These courses, as well as OnDemand, Live Online, and Distance Learning can still be booked via the website.
Free additional booster courses - For any student who was booked on a June course with Kaplan we have provided booster content for all Applied Skills (except Law) and Strategic Professional papers to ensure that students maintain their study impetus over the months running up to September. These courses have been added to your myKaplan account.
Please see FAQ below for more details on the booster courses.
Applied Skills (Excl Law) and Strategic Professional FAQ
How do I advise Kaplan as to which revision/QBD course I wish/I wish my students to attend for September?
If you wanted an existing enrolment on June revision or QBD courses to be rescheduled to August to align with the September examinations you do not need to do anything. This process has been completed and students should now have received updated course confirmations for the September sitting.
If you have not received your course confirmation or have any queries please contact Student Services to let us know: 0161 259 7400 option 2, option 1 or email acca-studentservices@kaplan.co.uk.
What will be included in Kaplan’s Booster courses?
Booster course content will comprise:
- A modular study programme that clearly outlines resources available, time commitment and approach. The programme and content is designed to be as flexible as possible so that students can study as and when needed.
- Recorded, tutor led question walkthroughs of exam standard questions coupled with a programme of correlated question practice.

End Point Assessments
Some learners were due to sit my End Point Assessment (EPA) in the next few months, what do the exam cancellations mean for the Apprenticeship?
Level 7 Apprenticeship completion/End Point Assessments are reliant on the SBL exam, so this will be delayed until September unless you want to take part in the new July sitting referred to above. If you would like to take part in the new July sitting, and your Talent Coach has not yet discussed this with you, then please reach out to your Talent Coach at the earliest opportunity to discuss the next steps.
The June 2020 L4 EPA has been cancelled and the exam will now take place on 10th September 2020, using the June syllabus. This will be a Computer Based Exam (CBE) and will be available at any exam centre in England.
If you have not yet submitted your Portfolio and Reflective Statement (PRS) you can submit it in either the June 2020 or September 2020 submission window.
