Helping to build the UK's money skills and confidence

Find out more about the Academy and how we can help you.

 

Our history, your future

Here at Lloyds, we know a thing or two about helping people grow. We've been supporting customers and communities for over 250 years.

In that time, the world has changed. New technologies, opportunities and challenges. But one thing has stayed the same: people look for ways to move forward.

That's why we created the Academy in 2018, to support Lloyds' purpose of Helping Britain Prosper. We help people build the money and digital skills they need to take their next step with confidence.

So, whether you're starting a business, getting online for the first time, trying to make sense of AI, or wanting to do more with your money, we’re here to help.

Help and FAQs

  • The good news is no, you don't have to be a Lloyds customer! The Academy is completely free and open to everyone in the UK.

    To make things easier for our customers, we do sometimes include links to relevant products in our learning.

    • You don't need to use them to make the most of our learning. 
    • There's no obligations or hidden tricks.

    The links are at points where people should be feeling more confident. So, when they're ready to browse products and make informed financial decisions, it's easier to get there.

  • No, you don't need to sign up to the Academy - we're log-in free. This means anyone can access, at any time without logging in.

    We have only two areas of our Learn for business hub that ask you to sign up:

    • Start-Up, Scale-Up - This is our business programme which helps people to set up and grow their business. By signing up, businesses can access free online learning, webinars and coaching to help them create their plan for growth.
    • Our Skillsoft Percipio Platform - This platform helps businesses gain more advanced technical and leadership skills than we can provide here on the Academy. Use the Academy to set up your plan for growth and then head over to Skillsoft Percipio to help gain the technical skills you need to acheive it. By signing up through the Academy access is free. Logging in means you can keep track of your learning progress and jump back in where you left off.

  • The time it takes to complete each lesson varies depending on topic:

    • In our money, digital and career topics, lessons take an average of 9 minutes to complete. 
    • For businesses, our lessons take an average of 17 minutes as they break down more technical topics.

    Remember:

    • You don't have to take the whole lesson if it's not useful - We're designed so you can jump to the sections you need and move on. 
    • You can stop and start at any time - There's no need to finish a whole lesson in one go.

  • There's no right place to start - you should start with a topic or lesson that interests you. Our lessons don't follow a set order. 

    • If you're learning for yourself, we recomend you head into our learning hub and jump into either Money, Digital or Career.
    • If you're working for or leading a business - head over to Learn for business where you can browse our business topics and lessons.
