I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in another major and decided to take up the Kaplan Diploma as it offered me the major that I wanted, had time tables that fit my work schedule and reasonable programme fees. Concepts that I learnt from my Accounting, Commercial Law and Human Resource Management modules could be applied to the real world, and upon completion of my Kaplan Diploma, I was given a promotion to Assistant Manager at my workplace.

While it was not easy juggling work, studies and being a parent at the same time, I enjoyed my study experience with Kaplan as I found my programme very interesting. All in all, I had fun in the Kaplan Diploma programme and would recommend the school to anyone who is looking to take up part-time studies as it offers flexible hours for working adults.

*The Diploma in Commerce (Human Resource Management) programme has been succeeded by the Diploma in Business Management (Human Resource) programme.

With an aim to further my education, I took up the Kaplan Diploma as a pathway into a Bachelor’s Degree programme. I chose to major in Psychology as it has always been a subject of interest to me and allows me to understand individuals from all walks of life in my role as a Staffing Specialist. It is also my dream that one day, I would be able to open a clinic for the needy as a counsellor or psychiatrist.

Upon attaining my Kaplan Diploma, my career progressed, and I was given a promotion at my workplace with a salary increment.

I chose the Kaplan Diploma for its recognition and while it was not the easiest task having to juggle between a new job and schoolwork, I am very thankful for my classmates who have made learning a very effective and enjoyable experience.

Looking to be better qualified and to secure my future, I decided to enrol in the Diploma in Accountancy programme at Kaplan. This programme has enhanced my job performance working in Treasury, where I oversee the funds needed for the company’s operations and liaise with our bank’s relationship managers. Two modules I found helpful were Corporate Finance and Planning, and Financial Accounting. Through the Diploma programme, I learnt the importance of forward planning with regard to cash flow and how far ahead a company should plan in order to ensure smooth operations. Upon attaining my Diploma, I was given a salary increment.

Despite having to juggle my work and my studies, I found that the flexibility of the classes helped me manage both my academics and work commitments, making the programme suitable and beneficial for working adults like me. Furthermore, completing the Kaplan Diploma programme allowed me to transition to a Degree pathway, and I am now pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and Finance from Murdoch University at Kaplan.

Thank you, Kaplan, for giving me the opportunity to meet like-minded people who are determined to demonstrate success and upskill themselves.

Human Resource Management handles one of the most valuable resources of a company: its employees. In order to maximise the benefits that each employee brings to the organisation, it means facing new and exciting challenges every day. This is why I chose to enrol in a Diploma programme in Human Resource Management.

This Diploma programme has equipped me with marketable skills such as adaptability, financial accounting and organisational growth. Not only did the knowledge I gained from this Diploma programme improve my efficiency at work, but it has also opened doors for future career advancements. As my company believes in the value of further eduvcation and professional growth, I was assigned new responsibilities. Currently, I am overseeing all accounting and payroll management, in addition to the hiring process.

While balancing both work and studies could be a concern for some, I found that the programme at Kaplan was rather well-balanced. Furthermore, Kaplan is dedicated to providing students with a high quality education through its wide variety of programme offerings and exceptional approaches to teaching.
