Kaplan discontinues its BPTC programme

updated on 02 May 2014

Kaplan Law School has today announced that effective September 2014, it will be discontinuing its BPTC course. The press release from Kaplan said: “We are proud of the school’s high quality of provision and it is with regret that the economics of the course have forced this decision.”

The law school has reassured current BPTC students that their tuition and assessments will continue to take place as scheduled and they will continue to have access to the careers service. In addition, the school has said that it is “committed to assisting students to find an alternative solution for their future legal training aspirations and to that end, we are working closely with the Bar Standards Board to put in place a range of options for those preparing to study in September 2014”.

Further to which, as reported in Lawyer2B, Kaplan is said to have come to an arrangement with both The University of Law (ULaw) and Nottingham Law School (NLS) that will allow those students due to start at Kaplan in September 2014 to take up a position at either Ulaw or NLS. In addition, Kaplan’s BPTC course leader Lynda Gibbs will also be joining ULaw as its BPTC design director.
