I had tried other online programmes that felt impersonal. LSABT was different — structured timetables, a responsive tutor, and a qualification my UK employer recognised immediately after I relocated to London.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know
Before Applying

Yes. Qualifi is regulated by Ofqual — the same body that regulates A-levels and GCSEs in England. All qualifications carry a QAN and are listed on the public Ofqual Register at register.ofqual.gov.uk. UK universities accept Level 5 for BA/BSc top-up entry and Level 7 for MBA top-up programmes.

Yes — LSABT was built specifically for working professionals worldwide. Live sessions are scheduled for multiple time zones, all sessions are recorded within 48 hours, and there are no exams. You do not need a UK visa or to travel to the UK at any point.

Level 3–4 typically takes 9–12 months. Level 5–6 takes 12 months. Level 7 takes 12–18 months. Applications are completely free. Instalment plans over 3, 6, or 12 months are available so you can start studying without paying in full upfront. Contact admissions to discuss your options.

Level 3: secondary school background. Levels 4–5: Level 3 qualification or equivalent professional experience. Levels 6–7: Level 5 qualification or significant management experience.

No — and we are transparent about this. Each university makes its own admission decisions. LSABT actively helps you identify suitable progression routes and Qualifi qualifications are recognised by a number of UK universities. We will never make guarantees we cannot keep.

No exams — ever. All qualifications at LSABT are assessed through written coursework assignments submitted digitally. Your tutor provides detailed feedback within 15 working days. All assessment is quality-assured by our IQA and externally verified by Qualifi's EQA.
