What does it mean for Learning People students?
We’re delighted to announce that 2023 has seen Learning People achieve another year of accreditation from the Learning & Performance Institute (LPI). That’s our 11th consecutive year since 2012.
Accreditation continuously raises both learning standards and performance outcomes. It gives students confidence and assurance that Learning People is a reputable and trustworthy organisation by auditing areas such as quality of content, student testimonials, transparency in messaging, including finance options, and making sure that enrolment activities are conducted ethically and responsibly.
As part of the accreditation process, Learning People is fully audited every 12 months to ensure we adhere to the LPI’s code of practice, and that we are able to demonstrate continued provision of exceptional products and services.
The audit ensures we adhere to the following standards:
-
