Course timetablesPlease arrive at college at least 10 minutes prior to the course start time, so you can find your classroom and settle in before the course begins.

Dress CodeThere is no formal dress code for students – we simply ask you to wear clothes which are non-offensive and comfortable. The majority of students wear jeans and a T-shirt.

InternetAll Kaplan centres have Wi-Fi broadband, so you can bring your laptop and log-on during your breaks if you wish.

BreaksYour specific class times will be shown on your course timetable, however it is normal to have a short break during each session and lunch time is 13.00 – 14.00 each day.

There are refreshment areas and vending machines within the centre. You can also purchase food and drink at a number of local outlets and supermarkets nearby. Alternatively, you can bring a packed lunch. We’re reducing our impact on the environment by removing single-use plastic cups from all of our centres. Please bring a reusable water bottle to class so that you can refill from one of our water coolers.

HomeworkStudying in your own time is an important element of all our courses. This is likely to start from day one and increase greatly towards the exams.

Homework cont.Your tutor will provide guidance and highlight key areas for you to focus on, MyKaplan now includes a ‘homework’ resource to help you structure homework and study outside of the classroom.

StationeryYou are advised to bring the following items to class with you:

Large notepad

Calculator

Pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, highlighter pen

Course materials – provided on the first day of each course

Heath & SafetyYour tutor will explain the Fire Evacuation and alarm testing procedures on the first day of your course.

Please ensure you sign the class register each day and inform your tutor if you need to leave early so we can account for you in case of emergency or evacuation.

Also, if you are a sponsored student we are under obligation to report you as absent to your training manager if you have not signed the register.

If you are unsure of any procedures or information, please speak to reception or your tutor who will be able to assist you.

Our coaching system* is dedicated to keeping you on track and making sure you succeed.

• We will monitor how well you’re doing in your course, and use data to identify any key problem areas and step in when you need support.

• We’ll give targeted recommendations and suggestions on how to make the most of your study time.

• Acting as your personal mentor, your Coach will be your point of contact during your studies.

• We encourage that you turn to them and build a strong relationship.

You’ll get pastoral support from your Coach, which means receiving extra information and advice on study tips to help you complete your course on schedule and. generally have a more positive learning experience.

Access to your MyKaplan course(s) is based on the optimal time to complete a course and sit the exam. Our research shows that there is an optimal period in which to complete your studies and final exam. Prolonging studies or delaying your final exam can significantly impact your chances of passing.

MyKaplan course expiry dates are set based on this research (with a little bit of extra time added just in case you need to resit). Details can be found in our core T&Cs.

If you’d like to find out when your course will expire or request extended access to a specific course on MyKaplan, simply contact us on studentservices@kaplan.co.uk or +44 (0)161 259 7400.

There may be a charge for extending access, as per the extension policy in our T&Cs.
