BABble - Scholarship and Summer School!

Welcome to the latest instalment of Brian’s Accountancy Blog (BABble).

It’s been quite a busy few days since my last entry. I am currently in the middle of shortlisting the applicants for our prestigious Kaplan Accountancy Scholarship. The winner of the Accountancy Scholarship receives full AAT tuition followed by their choice of ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW or CIPFA – completely free of charge! The value of the Scholarship is excess of £15,000 and always attracts great attention.

The standard of applications is very high this year so shortlisting the applicants is no mean feat; but it is always interesting to find out the career motivations behind the students who apply. The next few weeks will be very eventful and I wish all the applicants the very best of luck throughout the entire process.

In addition to our Kaplan Scholarship, we are receiving a lot of interest in our Kaplan Summer School. The Kaplan Summer School is a four-day course and is a perfect way to find out more about what it’s like to be an Apprentice. Not only does it give CV tips and interview techniques, it also provides opportunities for students to meet with prospective employers to ask them questions about working in a business environment. At the end of the Summer School, you will receive a Kaplan certificate which can be added to your National Record of Achievement – with the added opportunity to market your CV to our employer base.

For more information, have a look through our related pages on this website and contact me if you want to attend.

Tune in next week!
