Teaching & Academic
When asked about their experience of studying at Kaplan International, it's so often the great teachers that our students remember - the teacher who spent extra time after class explaining a difficult concept, the teacher whose lessons stimulated their interest in learning or the teacher who offered advice when they were feeling homesick. Our teachers all share a passion for bringing learning alive and seeing their students develop and grow.
Operations
Our schools and colleges around the world welcome students from over 100 countries. So whether it’s helping on the student services desk with orientation, advising and assisting with accommodation questions, supporting the academic teams with scheduling and timetabling or helping students to enrol for the right exams, our teams get involved in all aspects of the student experience. The one thing that all our operations staff share is a genuine interest in helping students and a desire to deliver an exceptional customer service experience.
Technology
Technology is at the heart of everything we do – from our global website in more than 15 languages and booking engines through to our operations management system and student portal delivering information to our customers around the world. Whether it’s developing new systems to enhance our business or supporting our users across the different areas of the business, Kaplan International offers a stimulating work environment for a wide range of technology professionals.
Sales
We work with B2B customers including agents and corporates as well as individual travellers and students wanting to enrol on our programmes. Our salespeople are responsible for maintaining and growing existing markets and opening up new ones in places we may not have worked before. Salespeople who thrive in our business are those who really understand their customers, are endlessly curious about their markets and are alert to the new opportunities as or even before they emerge.
Customer Service
Whether it’s advising a German student on where they can learn English and enjoy the best beach life or counselling a Chinese high school student on the most suitable UK engineering degree programme , the quality of our customer service particularly before students enrol and travel is a cornerstone of our business. We employ multilingual staff with great interpersonal skills and a passion for helping people , ensuring high levels of loyalty from our B2B and B2C customers around the world.
Admissions
Admissions staff provide key support to students before and after enrolment onto our academic programmes. As well as being good at dealing with people, the role requires in-depth knowledge of our courses and locations and an awareness of immigration requirements. The admissions process can take a matter of months so there’s a great opportunity to develop a strong rapport with our customers and become a key sounding board as they prepare for their study abroad journey.

Our team come from many walks of life and pursue a wide range of career paths at KI. Find out what some of our colleagues really enjoy about working at Kaplan International.
From the people you work with to the students you help in gaining entry to higher education in the UK, Kaplan International Colleges is truly the international experience. The department I work in is full of lively and interesting characters with a real sense of being one team with one goal. What is more is that the company recognises your hard work and willingness to learn. This certainly was the case for me as I have made steady progress since joining as an Admissions Advisor back in 2012.
Kaplan has given me the opportunity to grow and improve. I started as a Customer Care Advisor for direct students in Italy. One year later I was promoted to Client Relationship Executive. I progressed further to the role of Customer Care Team Manager for Italy and Spain, then for Western Europe and now ESL. My current role has involved building a strong relationship with a new partner with several offices all around Europe. This has meant more travelling, which has been such an adventure! I have found it very stimulating, and it has been great meeting lots of new colleagues. Waking up and being happy to go to work is priceless and this is what I feel working for Kaplan.
Everyday at Kaplan is different. Our school is an international hub of activity where everyone can feel free to be themselves and have the chance to learn about different cultures - and have fun sharing it! Everyday presents new challenges and successes. Since starting here two years ago, I have never had two days that are the same. A big part of what makes my job and the school what it is is our students and all the different, colourful and interesting things they bring.
