How Our Service Works
Whether you are a current or aspiring international educationalist and whatever problem you are seeking a solution to, the first step to engaging Whitehead, Lee & Associates is via our contact page on this website or the contact form at the bottom of the website.
On receiving your enquiry one of our team will reply to you usually within 24 hours.
Because each consultancy question and issue will be unique we can only offer a bespoke, individualised service to our clients. And establishing just what your specific needs are starts with an initial consultancy, which usually consists of several emails and perhaps an online meeting with one or more of the WLA team.
There is no charge for this initial consultancy, it is entirely free.
Should you wish to engage WLA to provide consultancy and advisory services, then we will begin working with you to produce a detailed programme of activity which identifies primary and secondary objectives and their timelines. At this point an appropriate Associate or team of Associates (plus lead Director) will be appointed to work with you.
Having identified and confirmed your consultancy needs, and drawn up a consultancy action plan, WLA will undertake a cost evaluation, including the fee we will charge for this work. Having been presented with this information, including fee, you then have the option to continue or not. Should you wish to continue then a contract will be drawn up which includes the agreed payment details for the work to be undertaken. If the work cannot be costed into the long-term, then a short-term or intermediary costing will be given.
Costings are therefore based entirely on the specific and identified consultancy needs of our clients. Staged payments can be agreed and all contracts will have exit points written into them to safeguard the interests of both WLA and its clients.

WLA has investors looking to purchase and invest in, international schools
