Tom Kelly is 24 years old, a Project Accountant and has fully Chartered status.

He started out as an AAT apprentice with Kaplan, but the last two years have seen him progress to the CIMA qualification and move on in his career.

When you tell them you have letters after your name, it definitely opens doors.

The Kaplan King

Sticking with Kaplan throughout his accountancy voyage, Tom discovered that our teaching methods suited his approach to learning.

The continuity provided a level of comfort and consistency that enabled him to flourish “Kaplan provided excellent training throughout and their teaching styles suited me.”

The future after AAT

As an Accounting Technician, there are a range of fulfilling career routes available. You could even be eligible for exemptions from some higher learning units, meaning you can gain higher qualifications sooner than you might think and boost your earning potential.

Like Tom, you may opt to study as an apprentice, rather than take the university route. With AAT you don’t need any previous experience or qualifications to start, just a willingness to learn!

This attitude has taken Tom all the way to being CIMA qualified.

2018 has been another year of growth and change with Apprenticeships, with the launch of even more new standards (such as the new L4 Internal Audit Apprenticeship), increasing number of Apprentices going through the End Point Assessment (EPA) and an ongoing review of assessment plans and funding bands.

It's an exciting time for employers looking to maximise Apprenticeships opportunities, but it can be a confusing sector to fully appreciate what is available and how they can work best for your organisation.

To help you make sense of where we are now, and what’s to come, please join Kaplan and our panel of experts including ACCA, CICM, AAT, NOCN, CIMA and ICAEW for a breakfast event on Tuesday 4th December at 8:30 am at The Principal, Manchester.

In this interactive and informative session, we will cover:

• An overview of the current Apprenticeship landscape and changes due in 2019

• A briefing of the range of standards available

• The advantages and disadvantages of converting existing training into Apprenticeship standards including the treatment of graduates and school leavers

• Using Apprenticeships to aid workforce planning post BREXIT

• Lessons learned from End Point Assessments carried out so far

• A discussion on the role Apprenticeships can play in achieving diversity in the sector

We do hope you can join us. Places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Setting up

Approving

Meet the Qureshi siblings, or as we like to call them: The Kaplan Siblings.

Tehreen, Bisma and Sahir are a close family. They get on well and live together, but there's an extra common thread: they all studied AAT with Kaplan.  

At 25, 22 and 20 each has followed a similar path, and helped each other along the way. The eldest, Tehreen, takes credit for shaping her younger siblings’ careers "Yeah, I like to think they followed me".

Watch the video for their unique story.
