University partnerships

Partnerships that mean progression, not logos.

LAI works with university partners to support learner progression where formal routes are agreed, with benchmarking and pathway development; LAI awards its own accredited programmes. Learner progression varies by country, institution and programme.

London & British Educational Heritage

Built in London, on British educational values and London’s long influence on international education.

London Academic Ecosystem & Teacher Development

LAI’s London identity is supported by London-based academic standards and academic collaboration with the University of Greenwich for teacher training, professional development and capacity building at LAI-approved schools.

City & Guilds Accredited Programmes

Built on more than 145 years of City & Guilds heritage in skills and education.

Independent Academic Governance

Standards set and protected by named, accountable people, separate from commercial decisions, with secure assessment and continuous quality assurance behind every grade.

Two kinds of relationship

Two kinds of relationship

Learner progression and teacher development are different things.

Learner progression and teacher development are different things.

LAI’s university relationships serve different purposes. Some support learner progression where formal routes are agreed; others support teacher training, professional development and capacity building. The University of Greenwich relationship sits within teacher training and capacity building for LAI-approved schools - set out on Professional Development - and is not a learner- progression or recognition route.

Employability with LAI

Employability is built into the accredited programme, not added after it.

Employability is one of LAI’s biggest differences. Several accredited programmes connect to the City & Guilds Level 2 Award in Employability Skills - a separate City & Guilds award a learner can additionally work towards - and the Global Entrepreneurship & Innovation and Creative Computing routes carry capability directly towards work. Progression to university and to employment is the proof the education worked.
