A Statement from the Chair of Board of Governors

illuminare Education strives to combine the best of British educational practices with vast international experience and cultural awareness. With most clients operating in the private sector, we can provide an effective balance between commercial requirements of profit-making enterprises, and the regulatory and operational requirements of quality assurance and compliance.

In an increasingly volatile industrial environment with new rules and regulations coming into effect every year it is more important than ever that education providers are aware of the constraints on their operations and build in the flexibility to adapt and adjust to these changing conditions.

Proudly offering a team of experts in their respective fields who have developed a comprehensive understanding of the need for integration across functions within educational operations Illuminare Education have been able to consult and guide, and working closely with our partners then implement, best in industry systems and practices. We work with our clients to future proof their education institutions by ensuring that they not only meet current requirements but incorporate lean and agile practices to allow them to quickly adapt and retain a strong market position.

Illuminare are proud to be different and to occupy a unique position within the sector where we are selective about the clients with whom we work, always ensuring that the values and ethos of the clients are aligned with our own. Although being a private enterprise, we are not driven by commercial elements but by quality, ensuring that we delivery our promises in every instance and enhance our reputation with every project we then successfully deliver.
