Message from the CEO

A personal note on our journey, vision, and values

Jatin Tekriwal

Chief Executive Officer

“I take immense pride in announcing my position as the CEO of LAAT (London Academy for Applied Technology) where we have achieved great milestones in the past few years.”

We started with a humble note back in 2019 with only five people in our team, but we have grown to a bigger family with approximately 100 people now and expanded our services to three different campuses based in Tower Hill, Croydon and Brentford. My heart gets overwhelmed seeing our students with a smile of satisfaction on their face. We work tirelessly to bring the optimum level of output both from our students and team members.

We are a growing company with a mission to create unmatchable standards of education and impart knowledge to our students. Our commitment is to deliver an exceptional, high‑quality educational experience where every student is empowered to achieve their full potential. We believe that outstanding outcomes are achieved through a truly student‑centred approach, supported by a culture of inclusivity, collaboration, and respect. By valuing and investing in our staff, we create an environment where innovation thrives, diversity is celebrated, and every member of our community can succeed together.

I would like to share my sincere thanks to my whole team, my students for trusting in LAAT and giving us the opportunity to create a dependable platform of education for all the British people. We will continue to adhere to British values and serve our community.

Thanks,
Jatin Tekriwal

Message from the Dean

A warm welcome and a vision for your educational journey

Manoj Ponugubati

Dean

Dear Students,

It is an honour to welcome you as Dean of the London Academy for Applied Technology (LAAT).

LAAT is a higher education provider supporting over 2,000 learners through our multiple campuses in London and the midlands, placing applied learning, innovation and student success at the heart of everything we do.

We believe learning is both personal and social. It happens through teaching and effort, but also through collaboration and participation in a community. By learning from one another, and by working with employers on real‑world challenges, you will develop knowledge and skills that extend beyond the classroom. Our focus is how far you travel. We call this educational gain — growth in your knowledge, practical abilities, confidence, critical thinking and readiness for work. Every learner begins from a different starting point, and our responsibility is to help you gain meaningful progress.

Working with our faculty, staff and industry partners, I am committed to delivering relevant, high‑quality programmes and ensuring every student can access the guidance, resources and opportunities needed to succeed.

As LAAT grows, we will build a culture in which every voice is valued and achievement is celebrated. I invite you to engage fully, learn with others and take ownership of your development. Your curiosity, determination and potential are at the heart of LAAT. Together, we can make this an exceptional place to learn, grow and contribute.

I wish you an enriching and transformative experience at LAAT.

Warm regards,
Manoj Ponugubati
Dean
