    Frequently asked questions

    General FAQs

    What is Live Online?

    Live Online is a 100% live classroom experience conducted online in a ‘virtual classroom’ allowing you to study from home or the office with live video streaming. There’s also an interactive chat panel so you can speak to your tutor and the rest of the class. Each lecture is recorded so you can playback any part of the course as many times as you like - the recorded versions are uploaded to the live online community 24 hours after the live sessions have been broadcast.

    When do I have to register with the governing bodies (ACCA, CIMA, etc)?

    You need to register with the institutes before you can attempt your first exam. For AAT, ACCA and CIMA please make sure you complete your registration at least 6-8 weeks before you wish to book your exam (please note that there are exam entry deadlines for CIMA’s Case Study exams so for these you will need to be registered before the deadline). For ACA you'll need to register a minimum of 21 days before the exam entry deadline. However, as applications take up to 21 days, if you're planning on sitting an exam soon, you should make sure that you have registered well in advance of this to avoid disappointment or application delays. You can register and find more information on the governing body websites.

    Do course fees include exam fees?

    No, course fees DO NOT include your exam fees.

    Can I enrol on a course if it has already started?

    For Live Online, if a course has already started, you may be able to still attend depending on availability. As Live Online classes are recorded it is possible to book the course after it has started and catch up on the sessions you have missed.

    What is the difference between ACCA and CIMA?

    CIMA's Professional Qualification is a dedicated Management Accounting qualification, ideal for those who want to work in industry/ the commercial sector. The ACCA is a financial accounting qualification with greater focus on auditing and tax; members have careers in a wide range of sectors, but primarily in accountancy practice.

    Please note: from January 2020 Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 10 and 11 stopped being supported, and you can no longer access MyKaplan using IE11.

    Subscriptions

    How do I cancel a subscription?

    It’s easy to cancel your Subscription membership! All you need to do is login to your account.

    Once you log in to your account you should be able to navigate to your payment history and be able to view your upcoming payments. You should be able to select – ‘Cancel my membership’. You will receive a notification that your subscription membership has been cancelled.

    What materials will I get with a subscription?

    When you sign up to the Subscription Package you will receive digital materials with your order. This is because you get access to all levels within your chosen qualification. This allows you to study for multiple courses for a lower price!

    However, we understand that many students like to have hard copies of materials. If you'd like a printed Study Text or Exam kit you can purchase them separately by contacting us.

    What’s the difference between a subscription and our other study methods?

    Live Online – The difference between Live Online courses and the Subscription package is simple. With a Live Online course you will be enrolled onto a structured course based around live lectures with a tutor. Live Online is more of a traditional way of learning that follows a similar structure to how you would learn if you were in a classroom.

    What do I get with a subscription?

    The Kaplan Learning subscription model is an online course that covers the full syllabus of all levels of the qualification you choose.

    You will receive access to all your chosen courses. You will be able to work through each section of your chosen modules by viewing recorded videos on individual topics. There is a particular focus on topics which are quite tricky and extra support is provided.

    There is access to knowledge checks on the way which allow you to test your knowledge on a particular subject. You are also given access to the latest Progress Tests and Mocks for the next exam sitting allowing you to practice your exam technique!

    Best of all, as this is a non-structured format of learning you have the flexibility to choose when you want to learn.
