Programme taken: Diploma in Commerce (General Studies)
Attracted by my company’s offer to sponsor my further studies, I enrolled into the Diploma in Business Studies programme with Kaplan. Being able to complete the course in a shorter duration of 8 months compared to other institutes, affirmed Kaplan as the school of my choice. Looking back on my Kaplan journey, it has imparted me with essential industry knowledge and helped me grow my confidence as a person. For example, lessons in Statistics developed my critical thinking and analytical skills required to spot sales trends, and determine sales projection at work. In recognition of my efforts, I was promoted from a Sales Administrator to a Business Planning Officer.
My positive Diploma study experience also gave me the confidence to take a step further and pursue my Bachelor’s in Business Studies Degree with University College Dublin. Strongly recommended by my friends and assured by the prestige of Kaplan’s university partners, these factors sealed my decision to join the UCD programme. Upon graduation, I am sure this internationally recognised certification will give me an advantage in the workforce.

Programme taken: Diploma in Commerce (Finance & Banking)
To make my parents proud, I aspire to follow them in having a career in the financial sector. I knew my chance had come when Kaplan awarded me a scholarship to pursue a Banking and Financial Degree with the University of Essex. Prior to that, the Diploma in Commerce (Finance and Banking) had already built up my fundamental skills and prepared me well for University studies. All this has been made possible under the close guidance of the lecturers. Not forgetting the friends I made in class, we often encouraged and motivated each other during the journey.
