University College Dublin Graduate (2021)

The University College Dublin (UCD) programme was well-delivered and broadened my knowledge through a wide variety of learning activities. I gained rich educational experiences from the local and international lecturers’ sharing sessions.

On top of that, graduating as a top student at UCD was key to unlocking many incredible opportunities as well as fulfilling my personal and professional goals.

My current job scope includes supporting, leading and mentoring the team to achieve the efficient and smooth operation of properties. The programme enhanced my job performance by improving my knowledge in areas such as project management, data analysis and evaluation, and time management skills.

I would recommend UCD to others for its recognition, affordable fees and convenient location.

Murdoch University Graduate (2021)

I have always aimed to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and when I was researching for a good university to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree, I came across Murdoch University that offered direct entry into the CPA programme. Additionally, the programme allowed me to complete my Degree in 16 months due to exemptions from my Diploma.

Being able to choose the modules and respective classes to take gave me a great deal of flexibility and allowed me to manage my time between work and school well, given that I worked full-time while studying part-time.

Upon attaining my Degree, I switched to a new job as a Tax Associate in one of the big four accounting firms.

The lecturers are extremely knowledgeable and approachable. They go out of their way to help students who have difficulty understanding certain topics, and are friendly and helpful. I was able to approach my lecturers without any hesitation with queries regarding my studies. Despite the sudden switch to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were able to deliver the lessons in a very articulate manner.

I would recommend Murdoch to others as I learnt so much with the University, mainly because of the lecturers. Every class conducted was interactive, very thought-provoking and did not leave you merely memorising stuff, which I felt contributed strongly to academic excellence.

Kaplan Graduate (2020)

Having done well for my A-levels and aiming to pursue a future in Accounting, I decided to major in Accountancy and Financial Management. Kaplan was my choice to further my studies as it has a great location and a diverse student body consisting of various cultural backgrounds. I would recommend this Diploma programme as the progression is short and sweet.

I began my studies with a Kaplan Diploma in Accountancy, later advancing to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Accountancy and Financial Management (Top-up) Degree with the University of Portsmouth. This Diploma provides a very good foundation and has helped me throughout my studies.

The knowledge I’ve obtained has been relevant to my work, helping me enhance my job performance within the scope of assisting clients to maintain their books and ensuring that the accounting treatments comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In fact, I was promoted from Account Assistant to Account Executive after just a year in my company.

The lecturers are very approachable, extremely engaging and able to explain the key concepts well. They possess in-depth knowledge of the subject and always try their best to help every student do well in their exams.

In addition to my studies, I was actively involved in various activities organised by the Kaplan Student Affairs and Graduate Services Office (SAGSO) committees, served as Vice-Chairman of Kaplan’s singing club (Pitch-K) and was a top 10 finalist for Sing-It Kaplan. I enjoyed spending time with my friends after class and had a very memorable experience at Kaplan.

Kaplan Graduate, Dean’s List (2019)

After completing my A-levels, I heard about Kaplan from friends studying there and learnt about the wide variety of programmes offered, which included Accountancy courses that I was interested in. As such, I took up a Kaplan Diploma in Accountancy, eventually advancing my education further with a Murdoch Degree in Accounting and Finance.

Studying with Kaplan offered many advantages, the most significant of which was the partial Degree scholarship I received for doing well in my Diploma programme.

My lecturers were knowledgeable and approachable, which helped to ease my introduction to the subject. In addition, they imparted positive study practices and life lessons, such as self-discipline, which have led to my self-improvement and character building.

Based on my experience, I believe that other students interested in pursuing further studies will benefit from the holistic education and development provided by Kaplan’s quality lecturers.

CFA® Program Student (2020)

As a renowned global institution, Kaplan provides intensive and comprehensive mock questions by topic.

I enrolled in the CFA Program Level I revision course to clarify my questions and get a deeper understanding of certain concepts with the help of a lecturer. The revision course was extremely helpful as the lecturers drew on key questions that test students’ core understanding of each topic.

Sufficient preparation is needed prior to attending the course. As the course is conducted with up to 100 questions per session, it is not meant as an introduction but as a good platform to assess one’s ability and understanding instead. After attending the revision course, students should be able to identify and focus on their weaker topics for subsequent revision.

CFA® Program Student (2020)

With Kaplan being a well-established education partner with the CFA Institute, taking up a prep course for the CFA Program at Kaplan was an easy decision for me. Furthermore, its central location makes it easily accessible.

The prep course at Kaplan has also benefited me through networking with other professionals moving toward the same goal. We make use of the knowledge gained to enhance the quality of the financial industry through revolutionary changes.

Our lecturers are smart and witty, and I have found their classes enriching. Their fundamental knowledge of each topic is strong as they are able to provide students with valid explanations to their questions, enhancing our thought processes.

CFA® Program Student (2019)

The CFA® Program offered benefits outside of my current role as a Chartering Manager at a ship operating company.

What motivated me were the insights provided into alternatives within the commodity trading and consulting fields. As I have always been interested in Finance, I took up a prep course for the CFA Program at Kaplan to grasp concepts effectively and because I had heard good reviews about its tutors.

Along with the Schweser review classes, mock tests and CFA’s QBank (Question Bank), the final month is very important for revising and doing lots of practice questions.

CFA® Program Student (2019)

The CFA® Program topics have strengthened my understanding of various financial instruments, allowing me to serve customers more efficiently and provide value-added advice.

As a CFA student at Kaplan, the tutors have been instrumental in facilitating my thorough understanding of various financial topics. This has allowed me to build competency in applying concepts. Reading through learning materials and raising relevant questions during classes help to reinforce students’ understanding of concepts.
