I’ve never regretted a single day of study I do because I love my job. We empower our people on a regular basis, it’s an incredible industry and I’m so proud to be a part of it.
I currently recommend Kaplan Professional to my firm and I’m already working on solutions to help our existing advisers upskill to meet their 2026 requirements.
Since I started in the industry, we’ve been constantly reminded of what’s required to stay relevant. I’m always eager to undertake as much learning and professional development as I can because knowledge, techniques and strategies are constantly evolving – what was once relevant 10 years ago is likely to expire over time.
Kaplan Professional was by far the best option for the lifestyle I had, mainly because I was able to study on my own terms. In terms of pace, they provide six study periods each year and I benefited from that. The way the material was structured and the level of depth … it made me feel that by the end of the course, I was a better adviser.
I think Kaplan Professional is doing a great job of helping to raise the industry standard through its rigorous education coursework. When I’m building my next business after selling my last, I’ll look to Kaplan Professional graduates when finding new staff.
At the end of the day, if you can make a difference to one person’s life, then that’s all that matters. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough … don’t let anybody talk you out of it.
Kaplan Professional offered a flexible course structure with a wealth of subject material that allowed me to study while raising a family and excelling in my career.
I feel very confident of my abilities, particularly in academic research, risk management, banking and regulation within the Australian framework. I am very eager to apply my newly-acquired knowledge in the workplace.
Studying with Kaplan Professional has assisted my career by building my knowledge, expertise and confidence, while providing me with a formal qualification.

The learning material is topical, relevant and provides insight into issues evolving in the industry.

With the FAS guidelines requiring all advisers to have specific skills and education, Kaplan Professional can help advisers achieve this outcome.
