Still not sure?

How to pick the course that's right for you.

Two common situations. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Full Stack — flagship

Pick the Full Stack programme if…

  • this is your first reporting cycle — your company is doing CSRD, climate or sustainability reporting for the first time. Even if the framework looks "narrow", you need more mentor time, more cross-framework context and the full reporter foundation — a single standalone course will leave gaps
  • you don't yet have prior sustainability-reporting experience and want the complete grounding from fundamentals to publishing
  • your task is complex — multi-framework, multi-jurisdiction, multi-stakeholder — and you want one programme that holds it all together
  • you want everything in one place: standards, drafting, design, peer comparison, plus access to every framework LRA teaches

What you get with Full Stack: the 12-module flagship curriculum plus four separate certificates (Full Stack diploma + ESRS + IFRS S1/S2 + official GRI Standards Certified, included at no extra cost) plus learning access to the Assurance and Materiality Assessment courses for the full 12-month Studio term. ESRS and IFRS S1/S2 open at the same route as your Full Stack tier; GRI is always its standard live two-day format. Take Full Stack on a Live Cohort, 1:1 Mentorship, Applied Practice or Deep Review route and you also join the LRA Alumni Club — 30% off any future LRA course — for life.

Standalone course

Pick a standalone course if…

  • you've already delivered at least one reporting cycle and know exactly which standard you want next — e.g. you're a confident GRI reporter upgrading to ESRS / CSRD, or to IFRS S1 / S2
  • you have a functional background (finance, risk, audit, strategy) and want to layer a new reporting profile on top of it — e.g. a finance professional adding IFRS S1/S2 sustainability disclosure, or an audit professional moving into assurance of sustainability reports. The functional anchor gives you the structure a standalone course assumes
  • you want to get familiar with one specific topic — assurance readiness, materiality methodology, California SB 253/261 compliance, U.S. SEC reporting, Middle East regulatory landscape
  • you have a specific deliverable in front of you (a materiality assessment, a first SB 253 inventory, a first CSRD report) and want focused practitioner help on that one thing

Tip: If you're not sure, start standalone — you can upgrade format (Guided Flex → 1:1 → Applied Practice / Deep Review) later. The LRA Alumni Club is reserved for engaged-format graduates: complete this course on a Live Cohort, 1:1, Applied Practice or Deep Review route to join — 30% off any future LRA course — for life.

The LRA Alumni Club

30% off, peer network, annual summit, office hours — for life.

The LRA Alumni Club is reserved for learners who complete on an engaged format — Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Applied Practice or Deep Review (including the mentor-only California, Middle East and U.S. routes). Members receive 30% off any future LRA course in any format — for life, plus the annual LRA Alumni Summit, quarterly peer benchmarking calls, monthly office hours with Dr. Kurinko, an alumni-only Slack channel, early access to new courses, member-only regulatory briefings, and the LRA job board. With 5 more LRA courses launching through end of 2026 and every LRA course after that, the Club is built to support your career — not just your enrolment.

Guided Flex doesn't unlock the Club — that's deliberate: the Club is designed for learners who chose an engaged format (live time, mentorship or applied work), and we reserve it for an equivalent commitment.
