Methodology · How we deliver
How LRA delivers its courses.
Every LRA course is built and led by Dr. Ross Kurinko and senior ESG practitioners — delivered live at our Canary Wharf, London office or through a specialist AI Study Studio for ESG disclosure. Expect personalised onboarding, applied disclosure drafts and real mentor support — always human-in-the-loop, with one verifiable certificate at the end of every route.
The frame
Outcome-based, not level-based.
At LRA, we don't divide sustainability reporting into artificial 'basic', 'advanced' or 'professional' tracks. Our courses are designed around one outcome: helping learners develop the capability to prepare, review and defend credible sustainability disclosures in real reporting contexts.
What changes from one route to another is the learning path — the rhythm, the level of guidance, the amount of live interaction and the support model. What does not change is the professional standard we work toward: report-ready capability, adapted to your role, organisation and reporting context.

Inside the LRA Study Studio — AI-powered, always human-in-the-loop.
A specialist learning environment built for sustainability reporting — not a generic course library. One of the most advanced learning environments for this work.
The Studio is a purpose-built workspace for learning sustainability reporting through standards, real disclosures, applied tasks and expert support. It is the platform every learner uses — across every route — to move from understanding the standards to working with them at practitioner depth.
Not "chatgpt" with an ESG hat on. The AI is a frontier model wired into a proprietary ESG knowledge base — standards plus real disclosures with structural claims and data points — and anchored to your Learning Profile.
In the Studio, the Assistance Desk keeps all AI threads, expert-support messages, mentor notes and escalations in one place. On Guided Flex, this is also where experienced ESG reporting professionals on the LRA support team answer learner questions through the platform.

Start in the Studio now. Add the cohort when the intake opens.
You begin the Studio-based course immediately after onboarding. When the next intake opens, you join scheduled live online sessions with senior LRA mentors on top of what you've already learned.
- Studio access: from day one of enrolment
- Cohort sessions: twice-weekly live online with senior LRA mentors
- Mentor-reviewed exercises during the live phase
- Intakes: Autumn — Mon 5 Oct 2026 · Spring — Mon 1 Mar 2027
Two onboardings. One mentor. Drafts reviewed line by line.
Mentorship runs on dual onboarding — the Studio onboarding every learner does, plus a separate mentor kickoff session with Dr. Ross Kurinko or your assigned senior LRA mentor, subject to mentor availability. The mentor kickoff is additional to the 24 CPD / 32 academic hours of the core programme and is used to tailor the mentorship route around your reporting context.
- Two onboardings: Studio + dedicated mentor kickoff
- Private Zoom sessions with Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor
- Line-by-line review of disclosure drafts
- Personalised guidance anchored to your reporting context
Bespoke delivery — designed around your team.

1:1 Expert Mentorship — Applied Practice
Upgrade within Mentorship
Your real documents · under NDA
Bring your own report to the table. Reviewed line by line, under NDA.
Applied Practice is the deepest human contact LRA offers: the same 1:1 Expert Mentorship route, turned onto your own reporting reality. Twice the private mentor time — 10 × 1.5h — and the documents on the table are not course exercises. They are the real ones. Your live materiality matrix. Your risk register. Your evidence chain. The draft disclosures that will carry your organisation's name. No sample company, no practice data set.
It works just as well before a single page is drafted: bring the plan, the scoping call you haven't made yet, the data gap you can already see coming — and design the cycle with a practitioner who has run it, instead of discovering the problem in month nine.
And what's said in the room stays in the room. Every session runs under agreed scope and NDA — so you can put the difficult things on the table: the disclosure you're not sure you can evidence, the number that won't reconcile, the pressure from above to phrase something more softly, the assurance question you'd rather not ask in front of your own team. Senior, specific, off the record.
- 10 × 1.5h private mentor sessions — double the standard mentorship allocation
- Your real working documents reviewed under agreed scope and NDA — materiality matrix, risk register, evidence chains, draft disclosures, report sections
- Worked as files, returned improved — email, file-share and scheduled sessions; nothing is uploaded to the Studio platform, and drafts come back with your mentor's line-by-line comments
- Before you draft, not only after — scoping, boundaries, data architecture, timeline and reviewer map designed with your mentor
- A confidential room for the hard questions — thin evidence, contested numbers, greenwashing exposure, internal pressure, assurance risk
- Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor — normally online, or in person at Canary Wharf, London by prior agreement (subject to mentor and room availability)
- Dual onboarding, then a plan built around your cycle — Studio onboarding plus a dedicated mentor kickoff mapping your deadline, gaps and reviewers
- Same core certificate, with Mentorship recognition — the depth of the work changes, the credential structure doesn't
- Available on selected courses — see the course page for scope and fees
Choose Applied Practice when the work is real — whether it has started or not.
Before the cycle — design it right the first time
- You are preparing a first ESRS / CSRD, IFRS S1–S2 or local-mandate cycle and want the scope, boundaries and data plan pressure-tested before anyone drafts.
- You need to know which datapoints will hurt — where the evidence doesn't exist yet, and what to start collecting this quarter.
- You are choosing the reporting architecture: what sits in the report, what sits in the annex, who signs what.
- You are writing the internal business case — timeline, resource, budget — and want a senior read before you defend it upstairs.
Inside the cycle — get it through review
- You have a draft that has to survive an auditor — and you would rather it survived a mentor first.
- Your double materiality assessment will be challenged: by assurance, by the board, or by an NGO reading your report line by line.
- You are a consultant or advisor on a live client engagement and want a senior second pair of eyes inside your own methodology.
- You want to finish the course with a report, not only with a certificate.
What Applied Practice is — and is not. It is senior mentor time and hands-on review of your own work inside a training route: your mentor challenges scope, logic, evidence and wording, and shows you how the judgment is made, so you can repeat it next cycle without us. Confidentiality runs both ways — your materials and your questions stay inside the agreed scope and NDA, and are never reused as course examples. It is not an assurance opinion and not sign-off on your report: authorship, data and filing stay with you. Where an organisation needs deeper review of real reporting outputs outside a course, that is a Deep Review or Corporate Programme conversation — talk to us and we'll scope it honestly.
Applied tasks on real disclosures
You don't just answer A / B / C / D. You draft, structure and defend disclosures the way you'd produce them in a real reporting environment — calibrated to your industry, role and jurisdiction.
Guided Flex — AI-checked feedback
On Guided Flex, assignments are AI-checked: the Studio flags missing data, weak logic and thin evidence. Questions on the lesson or the standard go through the Assistance Desk to experienced ESG reporting professionals on the LRA support team.
Live Cohort, Mentorship, Corporate — human review on top
On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort and Corporate routes, a senior LRA mentor, faculty or corporate trainer reviews your drafts line by line — on top of the AI feedback layer.
On the Applied Practice upgrade the material steps outside the programme: your mentor works through your organisation's or client's real disclosure drafts — or the plan you haven't drafted yet — under agreed scope and NDA.
Mistake Coach closes the gaps
Weak topics auto-surface into a focused revision list — gaps close before they show in your real report. The Mistake Coach groups wrong answers by topic and points you to the exact lesson page where the gap lives.
