BAB-ble (Brian's Apprenticeship Blog)

Hi all

It’s been a while since I updated my blog. I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath.

Apologies to the avid followers of my blog for the late update. I have spent the last few weeks frantically trying to match students with employers for their AAT Apprenticeships and other business-related apprenticeships that are offered by Kaplan.

Traditionally, employers tend to enrol their AAT students at this time of year or in early March. As the AAT syllabus has recently changed and now involves computer-based assessments at the end of most modules, there is no strict guidelines for student enrolment as the AAT qualification can be started at any time of the year.

Due to the fantastic changes to the AAT syllabus structure, it is envisaged that employers will soon start to employ AAT students throughout the year and not necessarily take them on at the traditional September and March enrolment. Of course, Kaplan will continue to offer the traditional timetables with classes starting twice a year but students and employers should be aware that AAT can be started at any time.

If you have any questions, please contact your local Kaplan training centre who will hopefully come up with a tailored solution for your AAT training needs.

I will also take this opportunity to point out that our other business-related apprenticeships (i.e. Business Administration, Customer Services, Team Leading and Management) can be started at any time of the year as they do not involve classroom-based learning. Again, if you need any further information about this training, please contact your nearest Kaplan training centre. Your local Apprenticeship Coordinator or Student & Client Services representative will be more than happy to assist you.
