  • How long does a typical project take?
    The length of a project depends on the scope and complexity of the work. Smaller projects, such as compliance reviews, can take a few weeks, while more comprehensive tasks like re-registration applications or strategic governance overhauls may take several months. We work closely with clients to establish clear timelines and deliverables from the start.

Having worked both in-business and on-business across the education and training sectors, we draw from a wealth of expertise, including board-level, management-level, and chief executive experience. This gives us a unique understanding of how institutions operate, what they need, and what their regulatory obligations are. We offer personalised, hands-on support throughout each project, tailoring our solutions to meet the specific needs of every institution. Whether you are registering as a new provider or managing ongoing compliance, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
