AI-POWERED · ESG-GROUNDED · STUDY STUDIO TOUR

A Study Studio for ESG Reporting & Disclosure.

Not a course library. A working environment built by London Reporting Academy — where AI does the heavy lifting and a real human is always in the loop, across Guided Flex, 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort or Corporate Programme.

This isn't a generic online course on ESG. It's an intelligent learning environment for people who want to actually master ESG reporting and disclosure — at the level of professional practice, corporate requirements and real disclosure standards.

Every learner moves from understanding ESG concepts to confidently working with disclosures, data, evidence, regulatory requirements and stakeholder communication. The learning is built around practice: you don't just watch — you think, draft, check and improve disclosures the way you would in a real corporate environment.

What's woven into every minute

Three threads. One workspace.

The Study Studio combines a curated knowledge backbone, deep AI personalisation, and — across every route — a real human in the loop. The form of contact varies; the human presence does not.

Guided Flex — team support via platform · 1:1 Expert Mentor — Zoom sessions · Live Cohort — scheduled online lectures · Corporate — on-site or hybrid

Golden Curriculum

A knowledge backbone built by senior practitioners.

The Studio curriculum is not assembled from textbook chapters. Every module is designed and refined by experienced sustainability practitioners and disclosure experts — the people who actually write, review and defend ESG reports in real corporate environments.

  • Distilled from 200+ live disclosure projects
  • Mapped one-to-one against GRI, ESRS, IFRS S1 & S2, SASB and TCFD
  • Updated as the regulatory landscape changes — not on an annual cycle
Curated, not crowdsourced.
AI Personalisation

An AI that learns your context — not the other way round.

The AI Tutor is a frontier model wired into a proprietary ESG knowledge base (standards + real disclosures with structural claims and data points), anchored to your industry, your role, your jurisdiction and your disclosure context. It explains the standards the way they apply to your work, checks your understanding, gives feedback on your wording and turns your weak topics into a focused revision list.

  • Inline AI Tutor inside every lesson, with clarify-on-text
  • Push-to-talk video sessions with Dr. Ross Kurinko's official AI avatar
  • Mistake Coach turns wrong answers into your personal revision plan
Deep, managed personalisation — not a chat widget.
Human-in-the-Loop

A real human — across every format, every learner.

Across every route — including Guided Flex — the AI thread can be handed to a real human. The form of contact varies; the human presence is constant. AI gives you speed and continuity; the human layer calibrates direction, spots learning patterns, and brings wider professional perspective when it matters.

  • Guided Flex — async questions via the platform: practical, timely replies from an experienced ESG professional on the LRA team (assignments are AI-checked)
  • 1:1 Expert Mentorship — direct Zoom sessions with Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor (subject to mentor availability), line-by-line review — plus a dedicated mentor kickoff session, on top of your scheduled mentor hours
  • Live Cohort — twice-weekly live online lectures with LRA mentors + mentor-reviewed exercises
  • Corporate — online, on-site, Canary Wharf, London or hybrid delivery with a senior trainer
Available on every route — never AI-only.
Study Pace

How a learner moves through the Studio.

Eight steps, one continuous thread. The AI and the curriculum stay with you from your first login to your final certificate.

01 Onboarding

Tell the Studio who you are.

A four-tab Learning Profile captures your language & jurisdiction, professional context, learning context and AI preferences.

What you get

Every answer, every example, every recommendation — anchored to your real role and context from day one. No re-explaining who you are in every conversation, no FTSE-100 case studies thrown at an NGO analyst, no corporate examples for a graduate researcher.

Learning profile captures industry, role and disclosure context
02 Dashboard

Your trajectory in one view.

One workspace shows every course, every chapter, every certificate, every page already completed and every page still ahead.

What you get

Continue from exactly where you stopped — no mental overhead, no flipping through menus, no losing your thread between sessions.

Dashboard showing course progress and pages completed
03 Reader + AI Tutor

Read a standard. The AI explains it line by line.

The course reader has the AI Tutor pinned to the right — so you can translate, simplify, exemplify or ask a follow-up without leaving the page.

What you get

Mid-lesson, select any sentence and ask "what does this mean for my company?" — get a business-context answer in seconds. No tab-switching, no losing your place, no breaking flow.

04 AI Avatar

Dr. Ross Kurinko's AI avatar — on demand.

When text isn't enough, Dr. Ross Kurinko's official AI avatar walks you through the concept like a live tutor. Push-to-talk supported.

What you get

Voice-led explanations when the written word doesn't land. Ask in your language and your context — the avatar answers in seconds, contextualised to your profile and the chapter you're on.

05 Specialised AI Tutor

Not “chatgpt” with an ESG hat on.

The Studio's AI Tutor is a frontier model wired into a proprietary ESG knowledge base — GRI, ESRS, IFRS S1/S2, SASB, TCFD, plus a curated dataset of real disclosures with structural claims and data points — and everything the platform knows about your industry, role and jurisdiction. Every answer is grounded in what's actually material to you.

What you get

Stop translating generic AI answers into your context — the answer arrives in your context already. Specific, sourced, sector-aware — close to compliance-grade reasoning, not generic ESG chat.

AI feedback on a submitted disclosure draft
Close to compliance-grade

Four anchors behind every answer.

  • Standards library GRI, ESRS, IFRS S1/S2, SASB, TCFD
  • Real disclosures A curated dataset of actual sustainability reports
  • Structural claims How disclosures are framed and supported in practice
  • Data points Quantitative anchors from real reports
06 Growth Areas

Weak topics, surfaced and prioritised.

Every assignment is AI-checked. Mistake patterns aren't ignored — they become a focused revision list. Growth Areas groups your wrong answers by topic, ranks them by mistake rate, and points you to the exact lesson page where the gap lives.

What you get

Close knowledge gaps before they show up in your real report — and before they cost you in an audit, a regulator review or a board meeting.

Growth Areas — weak topics ranked and ready to revisit
07 Assistance Desk

Your questions live in one thread — with a human at the end of it.

The AI assistant is available wherever learning happens — lessons, selected text, notes, quizzes, open questions. But unlike a chatbot, your questions don't disappear into isolated sessions. They're collected inside the Assistance Desk, so you can revisit a topic, continue the same thread, and see how your understanding moved from first question to clearer judgment. When AI judgment isn't enough, the same thread escalates to a human. On Guided Flex, the LRA support team — experienced ESG professionals — provides practical, timely replies through the platform. On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort and Corporate, you get the same async backstop, plus scheduled live time with Dr. Ross Kurinko, a senior LRA mentor, the cohort mentors or your corporate trainer.

What you get

A learning trail, not a chat history — and a human backstop for the moments AI judgment isn't enough: board-grade wording, audit pressure, or a disclosure decision the AI can't sign off on alone.

Assistance Desk with hybrid AI and mentor support
08 Certificate

Globally recognised — verifiable anywhere.

Every completed programme issues a verifiable London Reporting Academy certificate, globally recognised within the sustainability reporting community — with a QR code, a unique credential ID and a permanent verification link.

One core certificate for every route. On Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship and Corporate Programme, the certificate is updated with an additional recognition line showing the route-specific layer completed — not a separate tiered certificate.

What you get

A credential auditors, employers, procurement teams and counterparties can verify instantly — no "are you sure this is real?" email chains.

Certificates page with verifiable credentials
Multilingual

Read in your language. Reason in your language.

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

  • Auto-detect source language, choose any target on the fly
  • Works across the full curriculum — every course, every chapter
  • Translation lives next to the original, not replacing it
Inline translation panel — translate any selected text into 20+ languages
From knowledge to capability

What you can actually do with the AI.

Eight concrete things the Studio's AI does — and a generic course can't.

  • Ask in plain language — get clear explanations of CSRD, ESRS, GRI, ISSB, IFRS S1/S2, materiality, double materiality, climate disclosures and social metrics, anchored to your industry.
  • Hear it from a senior practitioner — Dr. Ross Kurinko's AI avatar walks you through any concept on demand, voice-led, in your context.
  • See how it's actually done — the AI is grounded in real disclosures and a curated standards library (GRI, ESRS, IFRS S1/S2, SASB, TCFD), so answers come close to compliance-grade reasoning, not generic ESG chat.
  • Practise on real scenarios — applied reporting tasks: materiality assessment, data organisation, structuring complex disclosures, report-ready outputs.
  • Get feedback on your drafts — submit assignment drafts and the AI flags missing data, weak logic or thin evidence. On 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Live Cohort and Corporate routes, mentors review line by line on top.
  • Review your mistakes — Growth Areas turns wrong answers into a focused revision list, so the gap closes before it shows in your real report.
  • Read and reason in your own language — translate any sentence in any lesson into 20+ languages while the standards stay the same.
  • Stay on one thread — across every route (including Guided Flex), your AI questions live in the Assistance Desk and escalate to a real human when AI alone isn't enough.
Why human-in-the-loop?

AI can answer fast. A practitioner knows what matters.

AI is excellent at explaining, simplifying, translating, summarising, and giving you instant support while you study. But ESG reporting is not learned by memorising definitions alone. It requires judgment: knowing which concepts matter most, where learners usually misunderstand the standard, and how a topic connects to real reporting practice.

That is why LRA keeps a real human in the learning loop — even on Guided Flex. The AI gives you speed and continuity; the human layer helps calibrate your direction, spot learning patterns, and bring a wider professional perspective when it matters.

This is not a backup for when the platform fails. It is part of the learning design: AI helps you move faster, while human guidance helps you move in the right direction.

  • A senior practitioner is reachable across every learning route
  • AI handles instant support; humans help shape judgment
  • We do not offer "AI-only" learning because ESG expertise is not built by automation alone
Access starts on day one

Stop watching ESG content. Start practising it.

The Study Studio is open year-round. Enrol on a course and the workspace, the AI Tutor — and your route's human support — go live the same day. We're never AI-only.
