Leading The Way

As the LTE Group we have evolved through mergers, new ventures, and changing needs. In a world where learners need flexible pathways from foundation to degree level, where employers want seamless apprenticeship solutions, and where stakeholders and commissioners expect integrated deliver across regions, we have identified a need to work as one, now more than ever.

With around 3,500 colleagues and 50,000 students and learners, the Group reflects the combined strengths and services of our five leading organisations, and our Group Professional Services and Group Function teams.

The transfer of specialist knowledge facilitated by our Group structure makes us a leading commentator on sector policy and enables knowledge-sharing with our stakeholders to promote our values and vision. It also enables us to plan with confidence and look forward as a thought leader in our sector.
