It gives no Duolingo-specific instructions for sending scores.

If your Duolingo score falls short

You can meet the requirement by completing an approved English for Academic Purposes course from Kaplan or an ELICOS provider with a direct entry agreement with Kaplan. The EAP rows in the table show the Duolingo scores needed to start those courses.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Kaplan Business School programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
