Kaplan Professional has opened enrolments for next year’s postgraduate financial planning programs.

The first study period starts on January 13, with others to begin on March 10, May 5, June 30 and August 25.

The study periods are for advisers who do not qualify for the 10-year experience exemption and have until the end of the year to meet education requirements to stay in the profession.

“The feedback from advisers is that they are keen to avoid a last-minute scramble … we are seeing many who are enrolling in multiple subjects per study period or consecutive intakes,” Kaplan CEO Brian Knight said.

“At our end, we are doing everything in our power to support advisers and licensees in the race to the finish – we are putting on more individual tutor sessions for every subject and have a dedicated team in place to support advisers with their education pathway and individual requirements.”
