Certificates

All Kaplan Aspect Intensive Academic Semester students will be monitored regularly and progress will be recorded in an Individual Student File. The Individual Student File will show how each key English skill has developed and pinpoint the areas of language training which can be improved upon.

At the end of the Kaplan Aspect Intensive Academic programs abroad, students receive a Kaplan Aspect Certificate of Achievement detailing the level of proficiency in English achieved. The certificate, together with your Individual Student File, documents your language achievements and can be presented to future employers or educational institutions as proof of your English ability.

Students who successfully complete an internationally recognised exam such as IELTS, TOEFL or a Cambridge exam will receive the appropriate certificate as proof of their achievements.
