Third Sector, Finance Officer
Studying Foundation Degree in Business & Management


The course is great; the first module really lets you get to know the learning platform and how the work will be structured. You get to speak with your fellow students and feel part of a class, even though it’s on-line.

My name is Jenny, I work as a Lettings Property Manager for an Estate Agency in Central London and live close-by with my boyfriend. I studied Biomedical Science at University a few years ago but did not finish my degree, as I wanted to be in full-time employment.

I joined Kaplan as it gave me the freedom to study whilst still working. I’m able to plan my study around my work and social life. I usually study for an hour each evening leaving me plenty of time for me still. The course is great; the first module really lets you get to know the learning platform and how the work will be structured. You get to speak with your fellow students and feel part of a class, even though it’s on-line.

The course is easy to follow and if at any point you need help, your tutor is always available. My favourite part is the on-line discussions you have each week. You get to speak and interact with students just as you would at University. The information is presented in an easy to follow way and you always know exactly what is expected of you. I would recommend Kaplan to all my friends and colleagues.
