About Us

Britannia School of Academics

Britannia School of Academics is a UK based training provider, focusing on delivering courses to education professionals. As educators ourselves, we found that often training providers lack the flexibility that suits most educators when it comes to undertaking courses. Either there is a schedule, a lack of self-study materials, or tutors have less knowledge about the course topics than you do…

These frustrations led to the launch of BSA- an online training provider of education and training courses, with completely flexible study time, great material, and knowledgeable tutor support- all at a very disruptive price point.

Our staff has a wealth of experience in education and training. We take pride in our quality and aim to provide our learners with the best chance of further employment, through free career guidance and advice.
