ABOUT FIA FOUNDATIONS IN ACCOUNTANCY

Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) Suite focuses on the core skills of financial accounting and management accounting; and the wider role of the accountant in business at higher levels. It consists of a suite of awards, including certificates, diplomas and a revised Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Qualification.

After the completion of the Diploma in Accounting and Business you can transfer to the ACCA Qualification, with exemptions for F1 to F3 and continue your studies from F4 onwards. Alternatively, you could continue with the options papers to complete the CAT qualification and attain additional Foundation Certificates in the Auditing, Taxation and/or Financial Management.

The Foundations in Accountancy awards will qualify you to work in a range of different jobs - depending on how many of the qualifications you successfully complete. With the Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting, you will be able to work in a number of junior accounting or bookkeeping roles, and with a full Certified Accounting Technician Qualification you could work in a finance supervisory or management role.

If you have no prior accounting qualifications, we recommend you begin with the first award - the Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting. This award is broadly equivalent to GCSE level and you can work your way through the rest of the qualifications from this starting point.

How to Apply

EduTrustKaplan Learning Institute has been awarded with the EduTrust certification.This is an acknowledgement of KLI quality excellence in its programmes and services as well as business operations. As required by the Council for Private Education (CPE), it has put in place mandatory requirements which include fee protection scheme, medical insurance coverage and the use of a standard PEI-student contract.

Fee Protection Scheme (FPS)Under the Fee Protection Scheme (FPS), Kaplan Financial has put in place an insurance arrangement that ensures fees paid by students to the school are insured by Lonpac Insurance Bhd, a CPE appointed service provider. The insurance protection serves to protect the students’ fees in the event a Private Education Institution (PEI) is unable to continue operations due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. Furthermore, the FPS protects the student if the PEI fails to pay penalties or return fees to the student arising from judgments made against it by the Singapore courts. The FPS is compulsory for all local and international students taking courses at PEIs seeking EduTrust certification. FPS applies to all courses with duration of more than 1 month or 50 hours. Students enrolled in these courses will be required to pay a fee for FPS which varies depending on the fees of the courses insured.

Medical insuranceKaplan Financial has put in place medical insurance under which all its students (except those specifically allowed to opt out under EduTrust certification guidelines) will be covered for hospitalisation on an annual basis. AXA Insurance Singapore Pte Ltd has been appointed as the insurance provider. The fee payable for the entire duration of the course is indicated in the fee schedule of the student contract.

If Local student is protected by his own medical insurance coverage in Singapore, the student can opt out from the medical insurance scheme arranged for by the PEI.

Standard Student ContractIt is a mandatory requirement by the CPE that all students, both local and international, sign the student contract with Kaplan Financial upon the acceptance of the offer made by Kaplan Financial during the admission process. (Note: Student contract will not be required for non-award programmes with a duration of less than 50 hours or 1 month). The student contract serves to minimize future disputes and hence, has to be completely understood by students prior to course fee payment.

testimonialsUnbelievable.

That was the first word that comes out when I learnt the news that I was awarded a 1st Placing for P4 in Singapore, a Gold Medalist in Singapore, and a Worldwide Silver Medalist for my graduation on November 2011.

The above and many more achievements that were awarded to me (1st placing in Singapore for P5, F5, and F6, 2nd placing in Singapore for P1, P2, P3, and Certificate of Achievement for F2 and F3), was simply impossible to achieve if not for the tremendous support that I received from people around me.

Kaplan has helped me in countless ways I can remember, which include enriching lectures given by their world-class lecturers, a first-class educational facility, and an outstanding staff in helping out with all the administration matters.

Hans Christian Gunawan

I’m proud to be the prize winner for F4. Thanks Kaplan for providing me a conducive learning environment and lecturers for the detailed and exam-orientated teaching method which is very helpful for a part time student. I will strive hard and excel for my exam and work in the future.

Sing Zu Xin

I am really glad to be one of the prizewinners for the ACCA papers. This achievement came to me as a motivational surprise that makes me want to continue performing well for the next papers. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the lecturers in Kaplan for their professional advices and teachings to help us equipped with the key knowledges required, and for their excellent guidance on how to tackle different questions in exams. It would be really difficult to achieve such good scores if not for the well-explained concepts by Kaplan’s dedicated lecturers and their well-organized, exam-focused study materials.

Khaing Thet Htar Aung

I am grateful to Nicholas Woo for attaining the prize winner for F8. His notes, which are succinct, have been very effective in my revision. Nicholas is also excellent in transferring knowledge as well as prompt in replying queries through email. I am glad that i have made the right decision to study under such a dedicated lecturer in Kaplan.

Chua Yong Xiang

I would take this opportunity to thank Kaplan for providing such experienced lecturers. Suzannah Tan is a wondful lecturer and I would not be the prizewinner for F7 without her help. Also, in order to get a distinction, practice is an important part.

Xu Xiang Yan

I am really glad to be one of the prizewinners for the ACCA papers. This achievement came to me as a motivational surprise that makes me want to continue performing well for the next papers.
