English as a Foreign Language

Wanna learn English as a "foriegn" language? Kaplan Test Prep goes global and cuts costs, by outsourcing through "Certified Providers" in various countries. The result: web pages such as this one (in the Philippines).

As of Nov. 14th, France can now boast to have its own KCEP, the kind that sells "English as a foriegn language". Kaplan Test Prep had always operated directly in France until upper-management announced at 10 AM that there would be a "smooth transition". Employees had heard nothing of these plans until this time, and by 6 PM they found themselves locked out of their Kaplan email accounts and the website blocked.  

Very smooth, indeed.
