Learn for You

Please note that learning events or courses that have already been paid for, cannot be considered for conversion to a Learn For You payment.

Before applying, please ensure that:

1.Your selected provider can issue an invoice for payment to LSE. We cannot process payments for which there is no accompanying invoice.

2. Please ensure your learning/activity starts after receiving the outcome of your application. 

After applying:

1. Please allow adequate time for the outcome of your application. Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis.

2. You will be notified by email of the outcome of your application after we have verified your eligibility for the programme and completed checks on the provider you have selected. 

3. If you receive a positive outcome of your application, please check the next steps below:

a. If your provider is already set up on OneFinance, then we will only require an invoice from them. If you are unsure and/or not have access on OneFinance to verify this, please contact the Finance division inquiring this.

b. If your provider is not set up, you must request from them to complete this form and a bank letterhead (business account only) to verify their bank details. All three must be sent to Zois at z.kouris@lse.ac.uk (this process can take up to 3 weeks to complete).

The type of activities the scheme support are:

Personal Development

This can be any non-work related, structured course or programme. There is no requirement for it be linked in any way to your current role at LSE.

Career Development

This can be any non-work related structured course or programme, but with a clearer aim in helping you achieve your career goals.

This isn't about supporting your current role, more a step in the direction of your longer term career plans. For example, learning associated with a career-change you envisage in the future.

If you feel that you have development needs which are essential to your current job role, please apply for funding via the External Funding budget.

Wellbeing

This can be any structured programme or activity that positively impacts your quality of life and sense of personal achievement.

This could include membership of the LSESU gym, driving lessons or any other activity you would like to undertake.

Please read the scheme's terms and conditions before applying.

To apply, please complete the Learn for You application form or download and complete a hard copy and return it to HR Reception (LRB 5th Floor).

All applications will be considered by the HR Organisational Learning team and the result of your application will be emailed to you shortly after the committee meeting.
