Our standards

A school that teaches governance should be able to show its own.

This page is our quality framework, published in full. Every claim on this site should be checkable — and this is where you check the ones about us.

How courses are developed

Courses are authored against explicit learning outcomes before any content is written. Every course must pass six gates before publication:

  1. Outcome alignment — every unit maps to a stated, assessable outcome
  2. Accuracy review — factual review by the Academic Director
  3. Currency check — framework versions and statutory dates verified, with a visible "content verified as at" stamp on regulatory courses
  4. Assessment validity — every exam item maps to an outcome; scenario share at or above 40%
  5. Accessibility — transcripts, alt text, readable typography
  6. Copyright and attribution — sources cleared and cited

How assessment works

Format25 questions per attempt, drawn from a randomised bank of 60 or more items
Scenario shareAt least 40% of items are applied mini-cases, not recall
Pass mark80%, maximum three attempts
IntegrityAcademic integrity declaration before the first attempt
Programme capstoneMarked against a published rubric; Distinction at 85%+
Review cycleItem banks and content reviewed annually; review log kept per course

Our declaration on AI use

We use AI tools in course production — for drafting, formatting and translation — and we say so plainly. Every course is reviewed, corrected and approved by the Academic Director before publication. No course is published on AI output alone. A school in this field that hid its own AI use would not deserve your fee.

Certificate verification

Every certificate carries a unique ID and QR code. Our public verification page (live at launch) confirms the credential, level, learning hours, issue date and current status — by certificate ID only. We do not allow lookup by name or email, so nobody can trawl for who holds our certificates.

Advisory board

An Academic and Quality Advisory Board — practitioners in AI, higher-education quality assurance and industry — is in formation and will be announced, with names and affiliations, at launch. Course approval and assessment decisions sit with the board's processes, not with marketing.

Complaints

Learners can raise assessment appeals or complaints at hello@lsaig.org.uk. We acknowledge within two working days and respond substantively within ten.
