How Kaplan supports all students?
Providing extra support
Kaplan is committed to building futures, no matter what background a student is from. At Kaplan we understand that in some cases our students may need some extra support; for example, if studying with a disability, a difficult home life or students who struggle to fit their studies in around work and family commitments. We endeavour to provide this extra support.
Read below for more details about the type of support Kaplan has provided to our students:
Tutor Support
At Kaplan we are passionate about helping all students through their training. Our support doesn’t just stop the moment our students leave the classroom. Our professional tutors and dedicated support staff are here to support you at all times, either by phone or email to help you overcome any issues you may have.
Flexibility & Accessibility
If you do have a disability we understand that you may need flexibility in your learning style and approach.
Kaplan will support you by:
- Altering working and training hours to suit your needs
- Allowing absences during training hours for rehabilitation and assessment or treatment
- Giving additional training, study notes and support where appropriate
- Making special arrangements for parking and access to buildings
Flexible ways to study AAT
If you have a family and find fitting in your training around a hectic family and working life a struggle then don’t worry because Kaplan is here to help! Choose from a variety of flexible funded ways* to do an Apprenticeship in AAT, including; flexible week day and weekend classroom tuition, or NEWAAT Live Online - which provides real time lectures, so you don’t even have to leave the office or your home to attend class!
Ear loop facility
If you have hearing problems and need some more support. All Kaplan’s classrooms are installed with technology to help to overcome this. Provisions include either fixed induction loops or portable ‘Communicator’ induction loops.
Large versions of study materials & class notes
If you have sight problems, Kaplan Publishing, our bespoke publishers for all our study materials, will produce large copies of the textbooks to ensure you can read all of the materials that Kaplan provide. Our tutors will also ensure that you have access to large versions of all study notes and class material and also ensure that a seat at the front of class is always available so that you can see the board.
Specialist Furniture
Kaplan will ensure that all appropriate furniture is provided to those individuals who have specific health requirements, such as providing appropriate seating for wheel chair users and those with back problems or any other physical disabilities. If you would like some more information about this level of support, then please contact your local Kaplan centre to discuss in more detail.
