Kaplan Professional is offering study opportunities starting January 2026 to support advisers who need to meet the FAS education standard.
The firm’s CEO Brian Knight said that while the number of advisers required to complete their education has declined during the year, there are plenty who will not complete their studies by 31 December, and will be delisted from the FAR at the end of this year.
Kaplan is offering a six-week intensive study period (New Year Intensive) beginning 12 January 2026. This intake is for advisers who intend to return to practice as soon as their studies are complete.
Advisers will also have access to Study Period 1 (traditional 12-week intake), which commences 12 January 2026.
Knight said: “There remains a smaller – yet still significant – group who will not finish their study in 2025.
“It is our understanding many of these advisers plan to cease on the FAR at year-end and return as soon as their remaining study is complete.
“Our responsibility as an educator is to make sure that pathway remains clear, achievable and well supported.”
