Institutional Verification

London College of Teachers (UK): Legal Identity & Registration

Before enrolling with any international training provider, learners should be able to identify the legal organisation, contact information and the basis of important institutional claims.

London College of Teachers Limited

London College of Teachers Limited is the legal name used for the UK company information published by LCT. UK company number 12339919 can be used to check current company information through Companies House.

A company registration confirms a legal corporate entity. It should not be described as the same thing as degree-awarding powers, teacher licensing or government approval of every course.

UK Provider Reference Number

LCT also publishes UKPRN 10096558. A UKPRN is an identifier used in the UK learning-provider data environment. It helps identify an organisation consistently, but the identifier by itself does not confer a particular academic or regulatory status.

Where a learner needs to know whether a specific programme is accredited, university-issued, professionally recognised or accepted for a regulated purpose, that question should be checked separately.

How to verify an institution responsibly

  • Check the legal company name and number
  • Use the official institutional website and current contact details
  • Confirm the exact course page and certificate issuer
  • Verify professional memberships or accreditations with the named organisation where possible
  • Check any statutory employment requirement with the relevant regulator

Why this matters

Transparent institutional information reduces confusion between a brand name, a trading name, a legal company and an awarding relationship. It also helps learners provide accurate information to employers when a certificate needs to be verified.

London College Teachers & Trainers is centred on London College of Teachers (UK), with London College of Teachers Limited identified as the relevant UK legal entity.
