Study groups provide the opportunity for students to get together, either online or face-to-face, with others studying the same subject. They are a great way to network, discuss the industry, share ideas and enhance the learning experience.
This is a completely voluntary exercise and we appreciate the majority of our students work full-time, so we have the following suggestions:
How do you join a study group?
You can register your interest to participate in a study group here.
How will you be informed of your group?
You’ll receive an email with the details of your group once the allocation is complete. It will include:
Next steps
While Kaplan Professional will endeavour to promote and have study groups for every subject, as this initiative is voluntary and driven by student participation, we cannot guarantee there will be a study group for every student in every subject.
We hope you enjoy this initiative and use it as an opportunity to network and enhance your industry knowledge.
