LONDON—June 25, 2026—Alchemist, a global leadership development company specialising in changing behaviour at scale through practice-led learning, today announced it has been named an Accredited Learning Provider by The Learning and Performance Institute (LPI), the global professional body for workplace learning and performance.
LPI’s Learning Provider Accreditation independently benchmarks the quality, consistency, and impact of a provider’s solutions, including how programmes are designed, delivered, supported, and improved. The designation reinforces Alchemist’s reputation, market position, and commitment to creating development experiences that drive measurable business outcomes.
To be considered, learning providers complete a detailed submission and participate in an interview process. The evaluation board examines providers across key areas, including business integrity, client value proposition, marketing and sales, delivery capability, quality management, and financial stability. Alchemist received a score of 90% or higher in every assessed KPI section, reflecting its ability to deliver high-impact programmes in complex, global client environments.
The review highlighted several strengths across the company’s operations and client delivery, including:
- Enterprise-scale maturity, supported by strong governance, financial resilience, and deliberate investment in people, systems, and infrastructure.
- A strategic focus on the development and application of leadership capability, grounded in immersive, practice-based learning methods.
- A high-trust partnership model, designed to help clients diagnose complex organisational challenges and co-create bespoke, outcome-led solutions.
- Human-centred innovation, with digital, virtual, and AI-enabled components used to strengthen learning transfer where they add visible and demonstrable value.
- A credible commitment to impact measurement, including diagnostics, 180/360 tools, and journey-level tracking to demonstrate behavioural and organisational outcomes.
“LPI accreditation is a meaningful benchmark for the talent development profession, particularly for senior L&D leaders who are looking for trusted partners that can deliver measurable impact,” said Charlie Swan, solutions director at Alchemist. “This recognition validates the work we do with clients to co-create immersive learning experiences that build capability, enhance performance, and support business priorities.”
Scott Shepard, chief learning officer at the LPI, said, “Alchemist cares deeply about the craft of learning and its connection to behaviour change and business impact. Their openness, curiosity, and commitment to continuous improvement reflect the qualities we look for in an accredited provider.”
Although gold standard accreditation is not available to first-year accredited providers, Alchemist’s KPI scores exceeded the threshold associated with gold standard recognition, underscoring the strength of its first-year assessment.
Following its Gold win for Leadership Training Practice of the Year in the Stevie Awards earlier this year, Alchemist continues to build momentum as a trusted partner for organisations developing leaders in complex, high-pressure environments.
