Transforming Alternative HEIs Through Strategic Consultancy
I’m a UK-based Higher Education Consultant with a dedicated focus on helping alternative Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) strengthen their academic foundations, navigate regulatory complexity, and deliver high-quality student outcomes.
With deep sector expertise and a passion for educational innovation, I specialise in enhancing operational efficiency, academic governance, and quality assurance for non-traditional providers — including private colleges, vocational institutions, and emerging HE ventures.
My Mission:
Enabling Excellence Beyond the Traditional Model
Alternative HEIs play a vital role in widening access, offering flexible learning models, and driving innovation across the higher education landscape. Yet, these providers often face unique challenges — from securing OfS registration to meeting evolving QAA benchmarks and designing sustainable academic strategies in fast-moving environments. That’s where I come in.
Through tailored consultancy services, I support institutions to:
- Build robust academic infrastructures that support long-term growth and sustainability
- Achieve and maintain regulatory compliance with confidence and clarity
- Develop governance structures that balance academic integrity with operational agility
- Streamline internal processes to reduce inefficiencies and improve team performance
- Design and deliver programmes that meet student needs while aligning with sector standards
- Improve student outcomes and institutional KPIs through evidence-based interventions
What Sets Me Apart
Sector-Specific Expertise:
I work exclusively with alternative HE providers, understanding their unique opportunities and constraints better than most.
Regulatory Fluency:
I translate complex frameworks — from the OfS, QAA, OIA, and more — into practical strategies that work on the ground.
Outcome-Driven Approach:
My work focuses not just on compliance, but on impact — improving student satisfaction, retention, progression, and reputation.
Collaborative Mindset:
I embed myself in your team’s context, working with integrity, clarity, and a shared commitment to your goals.
Bespoke Support:
No templates. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Every engagement is tailored to your specific needs, culture, and vision.
