Global educational services provider Kaplan’s All Access License has been selected as the winner of the “Test Prep Innovation Of The Year” award in the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market. Kaplan’s All Access License was also the category winner in 2023.

By investing in a Kaplan All Access License, colleges and universities can provide all of their students with access to Kaplan’s industry-leading test prep for admissions exams, licensure, credentialing programs, and workforce readiness programs with zero out of pocket costs for students, helping them reach their career goals. This can potentially save a school’s students hundreds of thousands of dollars, cumulatively. Exams that students can prepare for with Kaplan free-of-cost include the GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, MCAT®, NCLEX-RN®, USMLE®, Uniform Bar Exam® and Certified Financial Planner®, among many others.

Kaplan’s All Access License partners include some of the most dynamic historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), including Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University, and Spelman College. Cleveland State University is also a partner and reports outstanding results; it also recently extended the offering to alumni.

“We’re incredibly excited to receive the ‘Test Prep Innovation of the Year’ designation from EdTech Breakthrough for the second consecutive year, as it’s a strong validation that we continue to close the opportunity gap. Investing in the License empowers colleges and universities to provide our best-in-class test prep at no cost to their students and boosts the long term career prospects for everyone,” said Gregory Marino, CEO, Kaplan North America. “We are particularly proud that many of the students taking All Access-provided courses are underserved minorities, first generation college students, or students from low income families, helping to diversify industries from law to medicine to business, and beyond. We believe that as education leaders, we all have a responsibility to provide as many students as possible with an equal shot at success.”

“All Access License offers students significant value and impact, while creating an even playing field for student success. Required standardized exams, like the LSAT, and other professional certifications needed for licensure are rigorous and expensive, resulting in barriers for many students,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Kaplan’s All Access License narrows the opportunity gap and is an ideal solution for students unable to pay for test prep courses. Congratulations on winning ‘Test Prep Innovation of the Year’ and helping students successfully move on to the next level of their career or education.”

The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation and success in a range of educational technology categories, including Student Engagement, School Administration, Adaptive Learning, STEM Education, Remote Learning, and Career Preparation. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from around the world.
