“I chose to study with Kaplan in London because some friends studied here before and liked their course, teachers and school, so I trusted their recommendation. The teachers really care about helping us to improve, and they prepare many different activities so the classes are always interesting. Every day I feel more conﬁdent about the improvements I am making in pronunciation and ﬂuency, especially when I talk to British people outside of the school. In my position in my company, English is essential, so I know that my English course will help with my career.” Luana Correia Rocha Brazil

I studied for 3 months at Kaplan International College Cairns. The school staff were very helpful and my host mum was lots of fun! I made many friends and learnt a lot about their cultures. Diego Borges Rodrigues, Portugal

I really enjoy studying English with Kaplan in Los Angeles. The teaching is very good, and I have improved my English both inside and outside of the classroom. I have made many international friends and every day here is awesome! Shota Ohashi, Japan

The Kaplan staff always offered help when I needed it. During my whole time at Kaplan International College Auckland I could ask for help with anything and everyone was kind and friendly. Luise Kawelage, Germany

Malta The magic of the Mediterranean For 7000 years, visitors have been drawn to this sun-drenched isle. The Romans, Turks and British were attracted by its strategic position between Europe and Africa. Today’s visitors are drawn here by its stunning location. The island’s blue water harbours are brimming with colourful ﬁshing boats, its hilltop citadels hide narrow streets and baroque bell towers, and unspoilt countryside surrounds its prehistoric temples. A beautiful coastline and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean add the ﬁnishing touch.

Kaplan’s partner school offers a year-round centre in the attractive resort of Sliema, just a short bus or boat ride from the island’s capital, Valletta. Facilities include a multimedia centre, free wireless internet access, TV/video room, a cafeteria and student lounge.

10. Under 18 year olds: Kaplan delivers adult courses (except for programmes advertised as being for juniors or young learners).

UK/Ireland: The British and Irish governments require all students under 18 to submit a Waiver form and an Authorisation of Emergency Medical Treatment form which will be provided at the time of booking. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. Rules and regulations: Students’ arrangements with Kaplan are governed by the law of the country where the particular school attended is located. 2. Arrivals and departures: All accommodation is booked from the Saturday or Sunday before the course start date until the Saturday morning after the course end date, unless otherwise advised. A partial week may be counted as 1 week’s accommodation. Students arriving between 22:30 – 6:00 may be asked to book alternative accommodation in a hotel on their ﬁrst night due to late/ early arrival at accommodation. 3. Late arrivals, vacations and absences: If you begin your enrolment late or are absent during your course, no refund will be made for the time missed. Periods of absence cannot be made up with a free extension of the course. Vacation dates are pre-built into the Academic Year and Academic Semester programmes and students cannot make changes to these dates. Breaks taken at other times will be marked as periods of absence. For other courses, granting of any session breaks after the course has started will be at the discretion of individual schools and may incur a change fee or be marked as a period of absence. 4. Meals and classes missed: No refunds or substitutions will be made for meals or classes missed due to exams,

excursions, internships, first day orientation or other obligations that fall outside the normal schedule. 5. Public holidays: Classes are normally not held and most school facilities are closed on public holidays. All published course start dates fall on a Monday. If the Monday is a public holiday, the start date will fall on a Tuesday. Compensation will not be made for classes not offered on public holidays. 6. Campus facilities: Students attending a Kaplan school at a university or college campus location are advised that campus facilities may not be available during campus holidays. Further details are available from the Kaplan booking office. 7. Change fees: A minimum of 4 weeks’ notice is required for any change. If you request a change of school location, course dates, accommodation or programme type after your course has started, you will be charged a change fee of GBP60, EUR85, USD100, CAD100, AUD75, NZD75 which is payable at the time the request is made. Kaplan is not obliged to fulfill any change request. Academic Year or Academic Semester students cannot transfer to a different Kaplan school during term time. If changing to a location where fees are lower, the difference in fees will not be refunded. If changing to a more expensive location or programme, the difference in fees will be charged. All changes are subject to Kaplan’s discretion and require approval of the Programme Director. You will not be charged a change fee if you extend your course, but late homestay extensions in Canada may require a re-placement fee of CAD100. It is the responsibility of the student to pay for any course or accommodation extensions. Any change of tuition resulting in a reduction in lessons will be treated as a termination of the existing booking and rebooking, and will thus be subject to the standard terms & conditions governing terminations (see ‘Termination Policy’). 8. Duration of lessons: All English lessons are 45 minutes in duration unless otherwise stated. Courses run from Monday to Friday and lessons are scheduled both in the morning and the afternoon with different shifts at various times of year. 9. Substitution policy: If, after the placement test taken on arrival at the school, a student is found to be at a level which is not appropriate for their booked course, the school reserves the right to place the student in an appropriate level class, which may have fewer lessons and a different curriculum. Students who do not have the ability to follow any course on offer may be required to terminate their studies with Kaplan. We also reserve the right to cancel courses at short notice due to insufficient demand. 10. Programme changes: Kaplan has the right to change course dates, course curricula, tutors, locations and programmes at any time at its discretion. However, in cases where the course is rescheduled prior to the start of the first course and the new date is unacceptable to the student, all fees will be refunded. 11. Prices: Kaplan has the right to change prices due to tax increases, governmental actions or other events beyond Kaplan’s control. Prices are valid for courses starting in 2011. 12. Books and learning materials: All books and learning materials will be made available to students during their course. A book deposit (GBP25, EUR35, USD40) may be charged at the beginning of the course. This will be refunded at the end of the course, if the books are returned in good condition. In Canada, New Zealand and Australia a materials fee is charged to students to cover the cost of such items. Some specialised courses may require the purchase of books. 13. Residential housing deposit: A refundable housing deposit of up to GBP250, EUR200, USD500, CAD600, NZD250-500 or AUD250 may be charged on arrival to students taking residential accommodation in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The deposit is returned unless there is damage, loss or extra cleaning to be paid for on the student’s departure. In some cases the deposit may be non-refundable if the booking is cancelled. 14. Expulsion/Suspension: Any student who commits a criminal offence, violates the student conduct code or school policy, has, in Kaplan’s opinion, a poor attendance record (whether or not such attendance is in breach of any visa attendance requirements) or fails to pay an amount he or she is directly or indirectly liable to pay Kaplan in order to undertake the course, may be expelled or suspended.

Such companies and persons will in no circumstances have any liability for indirect or consequential losses or damages. 16. Force majeure: Kaplan will not be liable in cases where Kaplan is unable to fulfil any services to which they are contractually bound because of fire, natural disaster, act of government, failure of suppliers or subcontractors, labour disputes or other reasons which are beyond Kaplan’s control. 17. Codes of practice: Kaplan has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the New Zealand Minister of Education and by the Australian National Code of Practice 2007 and the Educational Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act 2000).

Students who fail to show up for their enrolment or with less than 80% attendance (in Australia/USA/ NZ; 85% in New York) or who miss ten days (UK) will be reported to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) in Australia, The Border Agency in the UK, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the USA or to NZIS in New Zealand. Information collected by Kaplan which personally identifies a student and information regarding a student’s course progress may be shared with the Australian State and Federal or British government, designated authorities, the Tuition Assurance Scheme (Australia), students’ parents, Kaplan staff and representatives and the ESOS Assurance Fund Manager (Australia). This information may include personal and contact details, course enrolment details and changes, and circumstances of any suspected breach by the student of any visa condition. Any schoolaged dependents accompanying overseas students to Australia will be required to pay full fees if they are enrolled in either a government or non-government school. REFUND POLICY Refunds will be made via the Kaplan representative to whom the fees were originally paid, or to the student’s bank account in the same country in which the fees were originally paid. All refunds will be made within 45 days of written notification. In the event of Kaplan cancelling or terminating a course, a full refund of all unused fees will be made. Australia: Refunds will be paid within 14 working days of written notification. In accordance with sections 27-31 of ESOS Act 2000, providing the student has not withdrawn before the default day, Kaplan will pay a full refund to the student within 14 days if the course being offered does not commence on the agreed starting day; or the course stops being provided at any time after it starts and before it is completed; or the course is not provided in full to the student because a sanction has been imposed on the college. This agreement, and the availability of complaints and appeals process, does not remove the
