30 Jan 12 Benefits of studying part-time degrees in London

In recent years we have seen a consistent increase in the cost of living alongside an increasingly constrained job market. Put together with the £9,000 per year tuition fees being charged by most universities, many people will be asking themselves whether they can really afford to spend three years in full time study and whether it is worth all that debt?

There is an affordable alternative which will allow students to maximise their earning potential without accumulating an average of £60,000 of debt by the time they graduate.

Increasing numbers of students are now choosing to study their degree Part Time, while holding a full time job. Classes would typically be held in either the evenings or weekends so will not impact on your working life, the learning will also be reinforced by a range of online study resources which will enable you to continue your studies where ever you are.

This not only allows you to continue to earn a living while studying but has a wide array of other benefits as well. Recent surveys of large employers indicate that employers value experience almost as highly as strong qualifications, so why not gain both at the same time? Most employers will be happy to give students time off for their exams and many will even contribute towards your tuition fees, as long as your studies are relevant to your job. After all, they are the ones who will benefit from your increasing knowledge.

For some students, part time means taking a degree course more slowly, studying up to 90 credits a year rather than the 120 credits a year taken by full time students. Full time students normally complete a degree within three years. Part time student can take up to six years. Study could take place in a classroom during the day (sharing classes with full time students) or online in the evenings or in the classroom at weekends.

For other students part time means taking 120 credits a year to complete a degree within three years but studying outside working hours at evenings and weekends, blending classroom and online learning.

By choosing to study part time in one of our campuses in central London, you will have the same access to all of our dedicated staff and facilities as any full time student and will also be a part of one of the most diverse and dynamic groups of students in the world. You will be studying alongside students from some of the world’s leading companies. Many alumni report that the contacts they make during their studies help forge the paths of their future careers.

If you would like to maximise your earning potential without running up debt, then perhaps a Part Time degree is your route to a brighter future.

This article was put together by the Schools and Colleges Liaison team at Kaplan Business School London who work with many institutions every year helping students with their university applications for courses as well as discuss issues such as university life and the career opportunities open to them upon graduation.

27 Jan 12 A Guide to becoming a plumber

The first step in becoming a plumber is deciding whether a plumbing career is right for you. Plumbers are in demand with more home being built and previous plumbing materials used in commercial buildings and property needing replacing. There is always a shortage of plumbers and space in the market for those looking to enter into the trade.

There are two main ways to becoming a fully qualified plumber. If you are between the ages of 17 and 19 years you may want to begin by enrolling on an apprenticeship course through your local college or educational institution.

Apprenticeships generally consist of three to four years of on the job training as well of a select amount of time spent in the class room. Apprenticeships allow candidates to learn the basic skills needed for a career in the industry, such as identifying different grades of pipe and the best practice for using industry regulated tools.
An alternative to the apprenticeship scheme and favouring mature students is the PPC4 Plumbing Courses qualification. The first stage of the scheme will enable you to begin working as a professional plumber as soon as you feel confident enough to do so. The scheme also includes qualifications such as the water supply regulations and domestic installer certificates which are important to have if you wish to go into homes to carry out work.

Become fully qualified with plumbing courses

According to the plumbing authorities (BLS), job opportunities for plumbers will be good in the future especially for those with experience, so it is suggested that starting at a young age as an apprentice would be an ideal way to get into the trade. The plumbing qualifications do not restrict candidates to regular household tasks but also provide a basis for other occupations such as construction work, oil and gas safety as well as working on large commercial projects. In fact the professions of pipe layers, pipe fitters, plumbers and steamfitters combined are one of the largest and highest paid trade occupations in the UK with no shortage of work.

Overall, being a plumber can be a very rewarding career prospect and if you like the idea of being out of the office in a hands on job role, being your own boss or working for a construction company then plumbing sounds like something you should consider. Plumbing courses have little if any entry requirements and your eagerness to learn new skills within the industry is what will decide whether you will make it as a successful plumber.

27 Jan 12 The Consumer Guide to Electricians

There are many things that you can do to ensure that the electrician that comes into your home is fully qualified with the right electrician courses to do the job at hand. Too many people have come to me in the past to fix electrical problems in the home that have been made worse by unqualified electricians when the job should only be a quick fix.

Below I have outlined a few priority checks that can be made to ensure that you will obtain professional advice from a quality source.

Don’t take over the phone quotes as the main source of contact

Like with many services some black hat electricians may try and give you a price over the phone which may be far too high for the job required. They may also provide you with a price and then add “additional costs” once they have started the job leaving the consumer in situation where if they would like a job finished they have to pay the extra costs. To avoid this, ask around for a number of quotations and make sure that they assess the situation with their own eyes.

Ask for a reference

If you are looking to get a large job completed around the home then it is best practice to ask for a reference for other large jobs that the electrician has previously completed. Jobs such as a complete house re-wire would be an ideal time to ask for references. Although if you only need a small job doing, such as adding a couple of plug sockets you may not wish to ask for references.

Check for qualifications or electrician course certifications

It is best to check to see if the electrician is certified to carry out the proposed electrical work. Electrician PEC2 course qualifications provide an ideal way of identifying whether the technician has taken and passed the industry standard to become an electrician.

Alternatively the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), the main trade association for electricians in the UK can provide you with confirmation of an electrician’s identity. The NICEIC has over 20,000 approved contractors who have been screened to a high standard.

Don’t be bogged down in an emergency

If the scenario arises where you need to call out an electrician after regular working hours then it is best that you still ask around a few providers to ask for prospective quotes. Or if you know someone that can recommend a provider that they have previously used then give them a try. Don’t feel that as it is an emergency you have no choice but to agree to the first valuation.

17 Jan 12 10 Tips help you prepare for your CAIA Exams

Passing both levels of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst qualification is a serious proposition for the busy finance professional. With time and energy being such a precious resource, it is important to study in a productive way that maximises the chance of success. Kaplan Financial has many years experience guiding candidates successfully through the CAIA program and has the following guidance for any candidate wishing to gain the designation.

Structure your studies carefully
Don’t let the exam creep up on you! Set out a detailed week-by-week study plan in advance that schedules when you will read through each topic. For example, you could maybe allocate a topic a week for level 1 meaning you will spend 7 full weeks reading through the material. Even if you don’t stick religiously to this schedule, the simple fact it is there will prompt you to act should you fall too far behind!

Questions questions questions
By far and away the most important factor in differentiating yourself as a successful candidate is to start question practice as soon as you can. You can never see too many questions! On this point, make sure your study schedule above finishes at least two or three weeks prior to the examination in order that you have enough time for question practice.

Stay focused on the Learning Objectives
Especially at Level II, you must stay focused on what you could be asked to do in the exam. Remember each question in the exam is tied to a curriculum learning objective which has a specific command word (e.g. describe/compare/contrast etc.). For instance, do not concern yourself with calculations you will not be asked to carry out in the exam!

Use exam-focused preparation provider notes
Whilst some people prefer to study from the underlying curriculum, most candidates find the curriculum readings go way beyond the volume and technical detail required by the learning outcomes to pass the examination. Using preparation provider notes like those offered by Schweser™ saves time that might otherwise be wasted on complicated un-testable material

Take a course!
Pass rates on courses offered by Kaplan Financial are consistently above those pass rates of the general industry. One hour in the classroom with a tutor experienced in guiding candidates towards the important topics and breaking down common problems when first encountering the material can be worth several hours of self-study at home

Don’t buy the Ethics text listed under the curriculum page on the CAIA website – it’s free from the CFA® publications website!
Some candidates unfortunately spend money on purchasing the Standard of Practice Handbook since it is the underlying curriculum reading for the ethics part of both levels of the examination. Don’t do this since the document can be downloaded for free from www.cfapubs.org

Use all resources available to you
The CAIA Association® offers examination-style questions and guidance on the exam experience in their ‘study guides’ under the curriculum section on the website. Make sure you use this valuable resource!

Make sure you know which calculations you could be asked to do – and make sure you can do them!
At both levels, particularly at level II, it is a very useful exercise to pick out of the Learning Outcomes all those that include the command words “calculate”, “compute”, or “evaluate” and make sure that you can carry out the calculation associated with the learning objective. This will also stop you from wasting time worrying about calculations you will not be asked to do in the exam!

At Level II, do not overly worry about the constructed response section!
By far and away the biggest mistake made at level II is to worry too much about the 30% constructed response (or “essay”) section of the exam. Candidates often disproportionately allocate time to this section and end up running out of time on the multiple choice section which has over twice the weighting!

Practice answering questions under timed conditions
Especially for the multiple choice section in level II, candidates often report that time was pressurised. Candidates should get “exam fit” by doing as many timed mock exams as possible. Also don’t forget to debrief those mocks correctly chasing up gaps in knowledge and guessed answers should take at least as long as doing the mock exam in the first place!

Kaplan also delivers a comprehensive range of Financial Markets Training Courses & Qualifications to prepare candidates working in investment banks, and asset managers and wealth managers for regulatory and professional examinations leading to qualifications including IMC, CISI Certificates, IOC, CAIA and FRM.

As one of the most important commercial centres in the world London provides students with an ideal location in which to study. The cosmopolitan city offers students attending a local London business school the opportunity to live and learn in an exciting and diverse environment. So, what is it about London and why is it so appealing to students all over the world?

An International Reach

London is one of the most popular cities to live in making it hugely appealing to students looking to study in a London business school. Would-be business people from as far as Asia and as close as Europe find London an appealing place to study due to its ability to cater for students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

A taste of something familiar can go a long way to help students to feel comfortable in their new surroundings and this home-comfort appeal to London is matched only by other culturally diverse cities such as New York.

It’s a London Thing

Here are some of the top reasons to study at a London business school:

• Its ability to cater to a range of religions and cultures

• Students can improve their language skills by socialising in London as 300 different languages are spoken – a skill deemed valuable for successful business people
• There are incomparable employment opportunities in the city during and after studies

A Cosmopolitan Learning Curve

Its cosmopolitan personality makes London the ideal place to study business for more than its ability to make everyone feel at home. Thousands of corporations have offices in the city allowing students the chance to experience life as a high flying business person. A business school in London will offer an unbeatable chance to learn firsthand what it means to be a successful business person and a massive range of industries are located in the city from finance and media through to fashion and marketing. Studying business at a London business school allows students to see directly what will be required from them when working in a business environment, providing them with the knowledge base and the experience while they study.

The Ultimate Student Experience

Being a student is a chance to explore who you are, who you want to be and what you are capable of and London allows students to enjoy their days learning and developing their potential as a successful business person. Experiencing life as a student is a vital learning curve that allows you to grow and mature as a person in life and in work, and studying in London will ensure that you gain a global network of friends. A London business school provides students with the unique ability to explore a modern city that boasts a whole range of business-associated possibilities and as such, it is one of the best cities in the world to study business.

12 Dec 11 The Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) Course

Today’s markets are characterised by high market volatility, huge leverage (and the need for painful de-leveraging), mortgage write-offs, “too big to fail institutions”, countries once thought to be sound investments, now at the verge of bankruptcy, and rogue traders causing massive losses for the institutions whose systems, procedures and controls failed to prevent illegal (and unethical) activities.

It is not surprising that the role of risk management is becoming important and that market participants now realise the need for serious risk management training. In this context, the Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) is one of the leading designations in this field. It is administered by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) since 1997. It has enjoyed tremendous popularity and has grown at an average rate of 50% from 1997 to 2010. GARP now boasts over 26,000 FRM holders from across 90 countries, which is evidence of the popularity and recognition of the designation.

Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) Exam

The FRM exam itself is split into two parts. At part I, candidates develop proficiency in four topic areas: Foundations of Risk Management (20% exam weight), Quantitative Methods (20%), Financial Markets and Products (30%) and Valuation and Risk Models (30%). At part II, the topics are five: market risk (25%), credit risk (25%), operational risk (25%), risk management (15%) and current issues (10%). Both exams are 4-hour multiple choice examinations administered in May and November. GARP recommends that the average candidate spend 200 hours studying for each part of the exam. Preparing for this exam is a serious endeavour as may be seen from the most recent global pass rates: 53% and 62% for part I and part II, respectively.

It’s recommended that you start your studies early, possibly before the start of our courses and combine that with active question practice all along the way. It is a good idea to develop your own study schedule from the beginning and follow it as much as possible. Allocate your study hours according to the above weights and do not ignore topic areas, even if they appear very technical.
Meanwhile, try to get comfortable with one of the two approved calculators as often seemingly intense numerical questions can be answered easily with a built-in function.

The exam is very practical, outcome-oriented and analytical, requiring you to develop a true understanding of the examined topics. In our courses, we attempt to help you develop your understanding and stimulate you to practise your analytical skills under similar pressure to that of the exam hall.

A Future in Risk Management

The knowledge you develop with us and the FRM® designation will increase your success at your current risk management position. But even if you are a career changer, we believe that studying the FRM® with will facilitate your entry into the exciting world of risk management.

Kaplan is the longest established FRM® training provider in the UK, with review courses that are fully integrated with Kaplan Schweser and FRM Institute materials. Kaplan also delivers a comprehensive range of Financial Markets Training Courses & Qualifications to prepare candidates working in investment banks, and asset managers and wealth managers for regulatory and professional examinations leading to qualifications including IMC, CISI Certificates, IOC, CAIA and CFA.

12 Dec 11 The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) Degree

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is the traditional and still the fastest route in the UK for those aspiring to practice as solicitors or barristers. In addition to providing the academic stage for legal practice, a Law degree is intellectually rigorous and a well respected undergraduate qualification.

What skills will the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) give you?

Over 70% of graduate level employment is open to students of any degree discipline and law graduates are always well sought after given the skills and discipline required to complete a law programme. A law graduate, in addition to having obtained knowledge of substantive law, will have the ability to analyse, critically evaluate and present material in a structured and coherent manner. Such wide range of skills equip graduates for a range of carrier opportunities other than legal practice including national and local government, business, academia, politics, international relations and the media.

Many successful and famous international figures including Nelson Mandela, Barak Obama, Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton and Andrea Bocelli are law graduates.

What is the competition for places like?

For those of you wanting to study law as part of your pathway towards one day qualifying as a lawyer or a barrister, it is important for you to understand just how competitive this process has become, especially in times of economic recession. Finding a training contract and an employer is becoming ever more difficult, especially for students with little experience outside of academic life.
The key is to start researching early, and to gather as much experience and as many contacts as you can to help you along the way. This is where law students have to set themselves apart from those studying other disciplines at university. As a law student you have to be more organised and more proactive far earlier in your academic life. It’s no use waiting until your final year to start looking into LPC, BPTC or paralegal opportunities. You need to have been doing this almost from the day your course begins. Every law institution in the UK will hold law fairs and specific talks to help you on your way, but don’t make the mistake of assuming these are just for third years. Take the time to go to them from the very start and it could just make the difference you need.

What will your Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree cover?

Make sure you also use your studies to help you understand more about what fields you are interested in, and what path you want to take. Law degrees are very similar all over the UK in order to be Qualifying Law Degrees. As such you will cover law of tort, family law, commercial, company and land law amongst others. When it comes to the next stage of your career you need to be thinking about areas in which you want to work. Do you want to look for a training contract with a big corporate where you’ll specialise in one particular area, or would you prefer a high street setup where you’ll cover a whole host of diverse smaller scale cases?

Get a head start

There’s plenty of online resources available that can help you plan from choosing the right place to study your LLB, all the way up to finding employment as a barrister or solicitor.

This article about the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree was put together by the Schools and Colleges Liaison team at Kaplan Business School who works with many institutions every year, helping students with their university applications for courses including the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree and discusses issues such as university life and the career opportunities open to them upon graduation.
