• Accountancy College of the Year: LSBF London and LSBF Manchester;
• Student Body of the Year: LSBF Student Association;
• Study Resource of the Year: LSBF Revision Booster Sessions;
• Newly Qualified Professional of the Year: Maruf Aripdjanov (LSBF) and Modestine Besong (LSBF Manchester);
• Distance Learning Student of the Year: David Taylor;
• Part-Qualified Professional of the Year: Kyle Tyrrell.

Rob Sowerby, Director of LSBF's Professional Training Programmes, said: "Being nominated for another consecutive year is truly amazing. It’s a great achievement for our students to be acknowledged as some of the best emerging talent in the field. It is also fantastic to see LSBF succeeding in these awards year on year. I look forward to continuing this success in 2014.”
