developed and is maintained by an Australian

based company. This means the platform will

be continuously updated, improved and kept

current with technology. The online learning

platform is interactive and harnesses the

power of social networking to make learning

other and with the ability to share experiences

and thoughts with management.

LEARNING CENTRES

London Examinations Board is primarily a

distance learning provider, but we recognise

that not everyone is comfortable with 100%

distance learning. So, we team up with

colleges and institutions to provide additional

tutoring and support for some or all London

Examinations Board programmes. They

become Approved Learning Centres following

quality assurance inspections and a review of

their faculty and practices.

We are striving to grow the number of

Approved Learning Centres so that we have a

vast international network for our learners to

collaborate with.
