Best if:
  • this is your first reporting cycle — your company is doing CSRD, climate or sustainability reporting for the first time. Even when one framework looks "narrow", first-time reporters need more mentor time, broader context and the full reporter foundation
  • you're new to sustainability reporting in general and want the full grounding — fundamentals to publishing — in one enrolment
  • your task is multi-framework (EU CSRD + ISSB + jurisdictional) and you want one programme that holds it all together

4.9/5 Student Rating 9,600+ Graduates across EMEA 254 Lessons across 12 modules +ESRS · +IFRS Standalone courses included 15+ Years ESG Experience

Become a complete sustainability reporter — from standards to drafting to design.

This Certified ESG Reporting Full Stack is LRA's flagship practitioner programme, built on 15+ years of ESG-reporting practice for leading national and global organisations. Unlike a single-standard deep-dive, it covers the end-to-end reporting craft: reporting fundamentals and principles, GRI in depth, TCFD as a standalone framework, UN Global Compact and UN SDGs, benchmarking techniques, content mapping, data collection, plus the underrated practitioner skills — drafting and visual design of the report itself.

Topics covered (12 modules)
Reporting Fundamentals · Concepts and Principles · GRI Reporting · UN Global Compact · UN SDGs · TCFD Reporting · Process Outlook · Benchmarking Techniques · Content Mapping · Data Collection · Drafting Techniques · Design and Presentation
Bundle bonus — included free

Plus standalone access to three specialist courses

Every Full Stack enrolment includes — at no extra cost — full standalone access to:

Certified ESRS (CSRD) Sustainability Reporting Course — 14 modules / 290 lessons covering all 12 ESRS standards. (Worth from £499 standalone — Guided Flex; up to £2,995 Applied Practice.) See ESRS course →
Certified IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB) Sustainability Reporting Course — 5 modules / 38 lessons covering the ISSB global baseline. (Worth from £499 standalone — Guided Flex; up to £2,995 Applied Practice.) See IFRS course →
GRI Standards Certified Training — official 2-day live training delivered by Dr. Kurinko (a GRI Certified Global Trainer) earning the official GRI Standards Certified credential. (Worth from £700 online — up to £1,200 on-site London standalone.) See GRI course →

Four certificates from one enrolment — Full Stack diploma + ESRS + IFRS S1/S2 + official GRI Standards Certified credential. Each carries its own credential ID and verification link.

Plus learning access to the Assurance and Materiality Assessment courses for the full duration of your 12-month Studio access. Browse the materials, learn the standards, decide later if you want to upgrade to a credentialled enrolment (with the alumni 30% applied).

No basic. No advanced. Just complete-reporter ready.

Single-standard courses make you fluent in one regulation. Real sustainability reporting demands more: the ability to scope the disclosure, collect the data, benchmark against peers, draft the narrative and design the document — across multiple frameworks at once.

The Full Stack programme exists for that. It is the course people take when they have to actually deliver the report — not the course they take to memorise one regulator's text. It pairs the standards work (GRI, TCFD, UN Global Compact, UN SDGs, with bonus access to ESRS, IFRS and official GRI Standards Certified standalone courses) with the practitioner craft (benchmarking, content mapping, drafting, design) that most courses skip.

"At LRA we don't simply provide standards-related theoretical knowledge. We fully equip you with the practical skills to prepare and manage your disclosure — end to end."
What sets this course apart

Five reasons it's not another ESG bundle.

End-to-end reporter craft

Most courses teach one standard. Full Stack teaches the complete reporting craft — from scoping and benchmarking through data collection and content mapping to drafting the narrative and designing the document. The skills most ESG courses skip.

Frameworks you won't find covered together elsewhere

GRI Reporting (73 lessons), TCFD Reporting (38 lessons) as a standalone framework, UN Global Compact (13 lessons) and UN SDGs (5 lessons) — covered together in one curriculum. Plus ESRS, IFRS S1 / S2 and official GRI Standards Certified as bonus standalone courses.

Drafting and design — the underrated skills

Two dedicated modules — Reporting Drafting Techniques (18 lessons) and Reporting Design and Presentation (12 lessons) — focused on the practitioner craft of turning data and standards into a credible, readable, well-designed report.

Human-in-the-loop across every route

Across every route — including Guided Flex — you can hand the AI thread to a real human. Async support from the LRA team, or scheduled live time with Dr. Kurinko, mentors or trainer. On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, 10 sessions × 1.5 hours on the standard 1:1 route, or 15 sessions on Applied Practice — the deepest mentor engagement of any LRA course.

Four certificates from one enrolment

You leave with the Full Stack certificate plus the ESRS (CSRD) certificate plus the IFRS S1 / S2 certificate plus the official GRI Standards Certified credential — each verifiable, each with its own credential ID. Multilingual: inline AI translation into 20+ languages across the curriculum, on top of every format.

London Reporting Academy
Study Studio · Full Stack

Your complete reporter workspace — three courses, one Studio.

The Full Stack programme runs inside the AI-powered LRA Study Studio: three full courses — GRI, ESRS and IFRS S1 / S2 — plus read-mode access to Assurance and Materiality assessment. You build reporter skill across all of them in one workspace, without juggling tools.

It is built for sustainability reporting — not generic online learning. The Studio combines expert-built reporting content, a specialist AI Tutor, Dr. Kurinko's AI Avatar, applied assessments, growth-area tracking and access to experienced ESG reporting professionals through the platform.

Your dashboard, your AI Tutor, your progress — across GRI, ESRS, IFRS, Assurance and Materiality.

What the Studio helps you do
  • Move between standards seamlessly — switch between GRI, ESRS and IFRS courses, plus read-mode Assurance and Materiality, as your reporting needs demand — same workspace, same AI Tutor, same dashboard.
  • Build the auditor's package — applied work across drafting, benchmarking, content mapping and design — anchored in your role and sector.
  • Close weak areas before they wobble your report — Mistake Coach turns weak topics into a focused revision path.
  • Get human support when judgment matters — through the Assistance Desk, experienced ESG reporting professionals can answer questions that require practical interpretation.
  • Read and reason in your language — highlight any sentence in any lesson and the AI Tutor translates it inline into 20+ languages — Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and more.
How the course works

Practitioner-led learning, accelerated by AI.

Real disclosure artefacts

Every module is anchored to real reporting work — benchmark studies, content maps, data control sheets, draft narratives, design layouts. You leave with the artefacts of an actual reporter, not the notes of a student.

Live faculty for judgment calls

Direct Zoom time with Dr. Kurinko on 1:1 Expert Mentorship (10 sessions × 1.5h) and Applied Practice (15 × 1.5h) — the deepest mentor engagement of any LRA course. Live online sessions with senior LRA mentors (Live Cohort), or on-site / hybrid sessions with a senior trainer (Corporate).

AI Tutor + AI Avatar accelerate every lesson

A frontier-model AI Tutor pinned to every page — translate, simplify, exemplify, ask a follow-up. When text isn't enough, push-to-talk video walkthrough by Dr. Kurinko's official AI avatar. Same AI across the Full Stack curriculum and the bonus ESRS / IFRS courses.

Mistake Coach closes the gaps

Wrong answers and weak topics auto-surface into a ranked revision list — the gap closes before it shows in your real report. On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort and Corporate routes, a senior mentor reviews drafts line by line on top.

Who this is for

From novice to lead reporter.

Same flagship programme, different starting points. The Studio calibrates to your role and context from day one.

Novice ESG / Sustainability Manager

Get the complete reporter foundation — fundamentals, principles, every major framework, the data discipline, the writing craft, the design layer. Graduate with four verifiable certificates and the practical skills to deliver your organisation's first credible report.

Experienced ESG Manager

Structure and refresh what you already know across all major frameworks. Pick up the practitioner-craft layers (benchmarking, drafting, design) most courses skip. Add four new credentials to your portfolio.

Lead ESG Manager / Reporting Lead

Coordinate, monitor and develop a reporting team — with a shared vocabulary and methodology across GRI, TCFD, UNGC, SDGs, ESRS and IFRS. Use the Studio to track your team's progress and weak areas.

Report Writer / Disclosure Lead

Master ESG copywriting, content mapping, drafting and design — the writing-and-publishing layer of the report that single-standard courses don't teach.

Sustainability Reporting Consultant or Advisor

Cover every major framework in one curriculum. Add benchmarking, content mapping and design to your advisory toolkit. Four certificates from one enrolment is an efficient credentialling move.

ESG Analyst — Standards & Reports

Build the full picture of how disclosures across multiple frameworks come together in a real report. Deepen knowledge of GRI, TCFD, UNGC, SDGs, ESRS and IFRS S1 / S2 as related parts of one practice.

MA graduate, career-changer, or first-year ESG professional

Bridge from theory to professional practice with the complete reporter foundation in one programme. Graduate with three recognised credentials and a portfolio of applied work — the strongest possible early-career signal in ESG reporting.

What you get

Six things most ESG bundles don't include.

Authored by Dr. Ross Kurinko

GRI Certified Global Trainer, PhD, University of Cambridge, 15+ years on FTSE 100 and Fortune Global 500 disclosures. Not a third-party content licence.

Four certificates included

Full Stack + ESRS (CSRD) + IFRS S1 / S2 — three verifiable credentials from one enrolment. Each carries a unique credential ID and verification link.

Drafting and design built in

Two dedicated modules (30 lessons) on the underrated skills — ESG copywriting and visual design of the report. Most courses skip these entirely.

AI Tutor + AI Avatar

Frontier-model AI on every lesson, anchored to your role and disclosure context. Push-to-talk video walkthrough by Dr. Kurinko's official AI avatar when text isn't enough.

Up to 15 mentor sessions

On 1:1 Expert Mentorship — the deepest mentor engagement of any LRA course. 10 sessions × 1.5h on 1:1 core; 15 × 1.5h on Applied Practice with line-by-line draft review.

Multilingual

Highlight any sentence in any lesson and the AI Tutor translates it inline into 20+ languages — Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and more. Standards stay; language barrier disappears.

Certificates

Four internationally recognised credentials.

The Full Stack programme issues four separate verifiable certificates: the Full Stack diploma itself, the ESRS (CSRD) credential, the IFRS S1 / S2 credential, and the official GRI Standards Certified credential — the latter issued by GRI itself, in addition to the LRA credentials.

Recognised among sustainability and reporting professionals, the LRA credentials confirm that every graduate has gained and demonstrated the practical capability to deliver end-to-end sustainability disclosure — across standards, drafting and design. The GRI credential is the official global recognition for trained GRI reporters.

Globally verified

LRA-certified ESG Reporting Full Stack practitioner — plus official GRI

  • Four credentials from one enrolment — Full Stack diploma + ESRS + IFRS S1 / S2 + official GRI Standards Certified.
  • End-to-end reporter capability — standards, benchmarking, data, drafting, design — proven through applied work.
  • Real assignments, expert review — every learner completes applied reporting work; on 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort and Corporate routes, mentors review your draft report line by line.
  • A recognised credential set for sustainability teams — fits sustainability managers, reporting leads, consultants, ESG analysts, report writers and academic researchers.
  • Verification when it matters — LRA credentials carry a QR code, unique credential ID and permanent verification link. The GRI credential is verifiable through GRI's own register. All four count toward the LRA International Diploma in Sustainability Reporting.

The LRA Alumni Club

Graduate once. Stay connected — for life.

Complete Full Stack on a Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship or Applied Practice route and you join the LRA Alumni Club — a private network of LRA graduates with continuing access to expertise, peers and tangible benefits for life — no expiry. Reporting is a profession, not a one-time course — the Club is built to support your career, not just your enrolment.

01

Annual LRA Alumni Summit

Once a year, hybrid event (London + online): case studies from peer alumni, expert panels on emerging frameworks, and structured networking. Free attendance for Club members.

02

Quarterly peer benchmarking calls

Small-group calls with Dr. Kurinko and 6–12 alumni — we work through your real reports under NDA, compare approaches, debug edge cases. The kind of conversation reporting professionals can't get anywhere else.

03

Monthly office hours with Dr. Kurinko

60-minute Zoom Q&A every month — open to Club members. Bring a specific question from your current reporting cycle, get a direct, practitioner-grade answer.

04

Alumni-only Slack channel

08

Job board & talent network

LRA quietly maintains relationships with corporate ESG teams and consultancies. When they ask for trained reporters, Club members go on the shortlist. Featured Alumni Spotlight on LRA channels every quarter.

Routes that unlock the Club: Live Cohort · 1:1 Expert Mentorship · Applied Practice.

Guided Flex doesn't unlock Club membership — that's deliberate. The Club is designed for learners who chose an engaged format: live time, mentorship or applied work. It's a long-term commitment from LRA, so we reserve it for learners who made an equivalent commitment.

What's actually inside the Full Stack programme

One enrolment. Four certificates. Learning access to two more LRA courses.

Full Stack isn't a bigger version of one course — it's the only LRA enrolment that includes credentials across the major sustainability-reporting standards plus learning access to the Assurance and Materiality Assessment courses, for your full 12-month Studio term.

1

Four separate certificates

  • Full Stack diploma
  • ESRS / CSRD Certified — same route as your Full Stack tier
  • IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB) Certified — same route as your Full Stack tier
  • GRI Standards Certified — official, licensed via LRA's GRI-Certified Global Trainer (always live two-day format)

Standalone, these four enrolments would cost £2,000+. How routing works: ESRS and IFRS S1/S2 open at the same route as your Full Stack purchase (Mentorship FS → Mentorship-tier ESRS/IFRS, Guided Flex FS → Guided Flex, etc.); GRI is always delivered in its standard live two-day format (online or onsite London).

2

Learning access to two more LRA courses

For 12 months, your Studio account unlocks read-mode access to:

  • Certified Sustainability Reporting Assurance
  • Certified Materiality Assessment for ESG Reporters

Browse the full curriculum, watch the lessons, work through the materials. If later you want a credentialled enrolment on either of them (with mentor, peer comparison and certificate), alumni get 30% off.

3

Lifetime LRA Alumni Club membership

On Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship or Applied Practice routes, your enrolment also unlocks full LRA Alumni Club membership: 30% off any future LRA course, annual summit, peer benchmarking calls, monthly office hours with Dr. Kurinko, alumni-only Slack, early access to new courses, and a job-board / talent network.

See the full Alumni Club section above for benefits and eligibility. Guided Flex routes don't unlock the Club.

Full Stack course — frequently asked

Course-specific questions — before you enrol.

Coverage, certificates, what you'll actually leave with — answered for this flagship programme. For methodology questions that apply to every LRA course, see /how-we-deliver/.

How is Full Stack different from the individual ESRS, IFRS, Assurance, Materiality and GRI courses?

Full Stack is not a deep-dive into a single standard. It covers the end-to-end reporting craft — the practitioner skills you need to deliver a credible sustainability report from scoping through publication. Its 12 modules cover:

  • Frameworks together: GRI in depth (73 lessons), TCFD (38 lessons), UN Global Compact, UN SDGs — covered together in one curriculum.
  • Practitioner skills most courses skip: benchmarking techniques, content mapping, data collection, drafting (ESG copywriting craft) and visual design of the report.
  • Plus standalone access to ESRS, IFRS S1 / S2 and official GRI Certified courses — included free as bonus standalone certifications.

The single-standard courses (ESRS, IFRS S1 / S2, Assurance, Materiality, GRI) go deeper into one specific standard or process. Full Stack goes broader across the whole reporting craft.

What certificates and platform access do I actually receive?

Four separate verifiable certificates:

  • Certified ESG Reporting Full Stack diploma (the 12-module flagship programme)
  • Certified ESRS (CSRD) Sustainability Reporting credential (from the bonus standalone course)
  • Certified IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB) Sustainability Reporting credential (from the bonus standalone course)
  • Official GRI Standards Certified credential — issued by GRI itself after the live 2-day training (included free)

Each certificate carries its own credential ID, QR code and permanent verification link at verify.reporting.academy. All four count toward the LRA International Diploma in Sustainability Reporting.

Plus learning access to the Assurance and Materiality Assessment courses for the full 12-month Studio access. Browse the materials, learn the standards without commitment; if you decide to upgrade to a credentialled enrolment later, the alumni 30% discount applies.

How routing works: ESRS and IFRS S1 / S2 open at the same route as your Full Stack purchase — Mentorship Full Stack → Mentorship-tier ESRS / IFRS, Guided Flex Full Stack → Guided Flex ESRS / IFRS, and so on. GRI Certified Training is always delivered in its standard live two-day format (online via Zoom or onsite at Canary Wharf, London).

TCFD is covered in IFRS S2 — why a full standalone module on it here?

Two reasons:

  • Many organisations still report under TCFD on its own terms — either as their primary climate-disclosure framework or while transitioning to IFRS S2. The 38-lesson TCFD module covers the four recommendation pillars (governance, strategy, risk management, metrics & targets), scenario analysis, and the practitioner moves under TCFD as a standalone framework.
  • The IFRS S2 module in the bonus ESRS / IFRS course covers IFRS S2's incorporation of TCFD with a single comparison lesson. The Full Stack TCFD module is the standalone framework treatment — different audience, different depth, different use case.
Is the official GRI Standards Certified credential included?

Yes — included free with every Full Stack route. Every Full Stack enrolment now bundles the live 2-day GRI Standards Certified Training delivered by Dr. Kurinko (a GRI Certified Global Trainer), so graduates earn the official GRI Standards Certified credential issued by GRI itself on top of the Full Stack diploma, the ESRS credential and the IFRS S1 / S2 credential.

Four credentials from one enrolment. Standalone price elsewhere: £700 online / £1,200 on-site — included with every Full Stack route at no extra cost. See the full GRI course page →

What is the Applied Practice tier — and when should I choose it?

1:1 Expert Mentorship — Applied Practice is the premium-most Full Stack route. It includes everything in 1:1 Expert Mentorship (10 × 1.5h sessions) plus an additional 5 sessions of 1.5h dedicated to line-by-line review of your draft sustainability report — total 15 sessions × 1.5h.

Choose Applied Practice if you are leading an actual reporting cycle right now — annual report, sustainability statement, first CSRD submission, first SB 253 inventory — and you want your draft pressure-tested with a senior practitioner before publication. The four bonus standalone courses (ESRS, IFRS, GRI Certified) and 12 months Studio access are included on all 1:1 routes; Applied Practice just gives you more mentor time and the line-by-line review.

What templates and worked examples will I get?

in progress The full deliverables list is being finalised for the May 2026 refresh. Indicatively, the course package includes: peer-benchmarking templates, content-mapping checklists, data-collection registers, drafting style guides, design layout references, and the artefacts from the bonus ESRS, IFRS and official GRI Certified standalone courses.

Realistically, how long does Full Stack take?

On Guided Flex, most learners complete the Full Stack core curriculum over 3–5 months at roughly 4–6 hours per week. Adding the bonus ESRS, IFRS and official GRI Certified standalone courses on top extends this to 5–7 months of focused study. Studio access runs for 12 months.

On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, the same depth is typically reached faster because up to 10 × 1.5h mentor sessions accelerate the applied work on your own draft report. The mentor engagement window is six months from purchase.

Who is the lead mentor on the 1:1 Expert Mentorship route?

Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor, subject to mentor availability. The mentor kickoff session (a separate scheduled call before regular sessions begin) captures your reporting context and is used to assign the best-fit mentor for your route.

Full Stack 1:1 Expert Mentorship includes 10 sessions × 1.5 hours on the standard route, or 15 sessions on Applied Practice — the deepest mentor engagement of any LRA course. Your mentor engagement starts and finishes within six months of purchase. Studio access continues for the full 12-month term in parallel.

Is Full Stack right for someone who only needs ESRS (or only IFRS)?

If your only goal is mastering a single standard, the individual standalone courses — ESRS, IFRS S1 / S2, Assurance, Materiality — are the more focused choice and cost less.

Full Stack is for professionals who need the complete reporter skillset — multiple frameworks, plus benchmarking, drafting, design — and who value the four-credential bundle.

Is there an alumni programme — and what do I get?

Yes — the LRA Alumni Club. When you complete Full Stack on an engaged format (Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship or Applied Practice — including the mentor-only California, Middle East and U.S. routes) you become a member of the LRA Alumni Club for life — no expiry from the day you graduate.

What's inside the Club: 30% off any future LRA course in any format (including the 5 new courses launching by end of 2026 and every LRA course after that); the annual LRA Alumni Summit (London + online); quarterly peer benchmarking calls with Dr. Kurinko under NDA; monthly office hours; an alumni-only Slack channel; early access to new courses and a vote on what we cover next; member-only briefings on emerging regulations; and the LRA job board / talent network.

Guided Flex doesn't unlock the Club — that's deliberate. The Club is reserved for learners who chose an engaged format (live time, mentorship or applied work), and we keep it that way to maintain the quality and signal of the network.
