AIC was purchased by Quest Education Corporation in November 1998 and in April 2000 changed its name to Quest College. Quest Education Corporation was purchased in July 2000 by Kaplan, Inc. In November 2000, the name of the College was changed to Kaplan College. In 2004, Kaplan College expanded its academic offerings to include master’s-level programs and became Kaplan University. Kaplan Higher Education Corporation and Kaplan, Inc. are dedicated to continuing the same excellent education for which AIC has always been known.

Kaplan is a very good school to learn English and meet people.
However, the proposed activities are expensive for the price you pay for school.
But in general it's still a great experience to do.,

School in Auckland is very nice and well located, the staff very friendly, native teachers of different nationalities, who have traveled, so you learn more than just the language. The whole process was very clear from day 1, with the counselor, the person visas, etc.

I spent 6 beautiful, rich and intense in San Francisco.
The KI SF team is so amazing. Everything is done so that everyone progresses in English.
The proposed activities are intéressanes (city tour, cooking clubs, movies, TED ...).
Moreover Expedition America offers weekends in Los Angeles and Las Vegas who really are worth a visit.
San Francisco is certainly an expensive city, but remains a beautiful city where you can take the cable car, walk the Golden Gate Bridge, discovering different cultures in the famous neighborhoods (Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italia ....) Alcatraz discover, relax in beautiful parks ...
I recommend everyone this total immersion.

I think Kaplan is good for people who love the school and are rigorous. You have to be involved 100% to see a positive progression. If you're not someone to focus and do not like working Kaplan courses after you will not have anything you have other ways to learn English for free out meeting people all around you . For me it was not beneficial.

Hello. I'm not here to give my opinion but rather to ask yours.
I do not have basic English, but I always wanted to learn to speak. I have no level do I need a special level to get into this school?
I love the United States, but the level I'm scared of being lost. And not to progress.
Besides that, the experience really makes me want!
Give me your opinion please

Very bad. I do not recommend at all.
Kaplan was 7 weeks - Fenway in Boston. Melisa though my teacher was very good, my accommodation was a nightmare and I hired accommodation directly so I think the company is not serious.
Here in Barranquilla showed me some pictures of the model apartment and when I get to Boston to my surprise, the apartment was old super, very very dirty, had rats inside and outside the building, it had damp everywhere moldy falling from the roof, plumbing I had to go once a week to unclog drains because in his own words 'the pipes were very old and no longer put up with more' in short we lived there told them 'rat hole'. I complained directly to both Kaplan Boston and Barranquilla and received treatment lackadaisical in which I was told I was overreacting and could not do anything for me and I could not move pq cancellation was 4 weeks in advance so I had to hold whether or lose my money. I canceled the last two weeks pq could not stand more and I'm glad we did because there was such a huge downpour that firefighters had to go because they were no longer leaks, but leaks water jets and several apartments were flooded. That's how bad it was.
The worst thing is that when I said this in Barranquilla told me that housing problems are common because cultures have different standards of cleanliness. NO NO, this is not standard cleaning, ie that assigned homes uninhabitable expensive prices, show photos that are not and then do not respond.
Residents of the building complained of rats, leaks, mold, however Kapplan never did anything. For this reason I would never hire a service to Kaplan.

It should not be too believe the five stars given to Kaplan Toronto because too many lies, it is a school to avoid the maximum for language schools that are better are very numerous,
The reception and staff were serious; is contempt of foreigners, some proud hello they say they do not even respond, most teachers do not correct the mistakes of the students, nobody insists improve pronunciation of international students who are there to improve their levels of English '' native ''
for '' listening '', it was very limited, and more this school does not give the CD '' student's book ''
I also found that the number of students per class was enormous; 17 students per class is too much like yourself!
Another thing: for clubs, the same courses are repeated all the time. Several students requested a change themes but the '' Manager '' did not consider our request
Honestly I felt that most of the teachers there were just running behind a program to end after some time very limited and not make an effort to learn other
And the best that the team accepts the negative opinion on the last day when they ask students to record their Feedbacks on computers, administrative staff remains behind the students to control and as soon as someone notices a negative opinion pricking her computer and not allowed him to validate the notice on the last page, Danielle and Safa make it out of the room to be harassed.
I am very sorry to have wasted my time for nothing.

My experience in Kaplan Edinburgh brought me a lot as a point of view and academic staff.
During the four months that I spent in this school I could deepen my knowledge of the language. The teachers are attentive and ready to help students.
Regarding accommodation, I was home with family. I would recommend this option because I think this is the best solution to improve their English quickly. It is true that some problems may occur with it, however it is still possible to change relatively easily family home.

Excellent school! I spent 6 weeks of classes, a teaching team was very attentive and always positive and caring. The courses are well balanced between grammar and exercises, with many oral. The mixed cultures is very interesting and rewarding! For my part, I have participated in any activities outside school, but the program looks very nice with visits and games.
That's positive !!

About the course:
My 15 year old daughter went for language course with Kaplan this summer. Regarding information on the living and the preparation of the latter, we were very well advised. This week total immersion has strongly appealed to my daughter: the host family was very kind and friendly, English beginner courses were tailored to his level, teachers listening, activities for young people very varied. Not to mention the meetings with young people from other countries. It is a positive experience in every respect. I highly recommend the Kaplan junior program.

About the course:
I spent 3 months at Kaplan Oxford. I really enjoyed this experience, people (school or outside) are all really nice and willing to help at all times. The atmosphere is very friendly and cheerful. The staff was always understandable, and listening, and solve the problems, if any, very quickly. I highly recommend choosing this school if the desire to learn English and make new friends from around the world present. I am rather large city that moves constantly, such as London, I did not much like the city of Oxford, but I am very happy to have chosen for my 3 months in England.

About the course:
If you really want to learn English, Kaplan is not your place. However, if you want to spend all holiday, Kaplan is your place. For me it has been a big disappointment for the quality of teaching and school approach. Pure is a business in which they charge for everything. If you do not have referral from another site, you'll fall in Kaplan because advertising and marketing they have well developed but if you want quality, you have many other options cheaper.

Agustina
About the course:
Academically school is excellent I have nothing to complain about the educational part .Regarding to social or recreational is also excellent activities undertaken so that we can do more together with our classmates and generate new friends are very buena.Graciad eh Kaplan could make very good friends with whom we always try to go to visit every country where one vive.Lo all I have as a complaint or reproach is that better assess the host family and in many cases are not so good, I know it is complex to do but for example in my case my family did not respect my food diet that I follow my doctor's indications and for that reason eh I had to go buy food suitable for my alimentación.En my case I was able to move me to another host family was a little better than before but the issue was no longer that did not respect my diet food hygiene but where you live my room at l impiaba say I like the rules but the rest of the house was disgusting grime / dirt habia.Yo would choose a thousand times kaplan but I'm sure you think twice about whether or not going to host my case family.En be 19 years and could go home the next time .But for children that is not an option so here I would focus on family.De host all forms would recommend always Kaplan is best
