Build your own curriculum

We are proud to unveil our brand new training offer designed by LGIU members for LGIU members.

As busy professionals, you told us you wanted the ability to develop your skills at times that best suit you. LGIU’s build your own curriculum does just that.

We now offer a range of comprehensive courses throughout the year, so you can pick and mix training that is tailored to your needs on dates that work for you. Choose from four ready-made curriculums (designed by our experts) or mix and match courses from our course catalogue to create one that’s unique to you. Complete any three courses and receive an official LGIU certificate of completion.
