# Education and Training Lead Generation Education is one of the most data-rich verticals available. Pupil numbers, funding, inspection ratings, exam results, staff counts and governance structures are published for most publicly funded institutions. The complication is procurement. Who buys depends entirely on the funding route and the group structure, and getting that wrong means a well-researched campaign to people with no authority. ## Who actually buys | Type | Who decides | |---|---| | Independent school | Bursar or head. Genuinely autonomous | | Single state school | Head, business manager, within budget limits | | School in a multi-academy trust | The trust centrally. The school decides little | | Further education college | Head of department, with procurement above a threshold | | University | Department, faculty or central procurement, by value | | Private training provider | Owner or operations director. Fastest cycle | | Apprenticeship provider | Operations or quality director | **Group membership is the critical filter**, exactly as with care homes and franchises. A school inside a multi-academy trust looks independent on its own website and buys almost nothing independently. **The business manager or bursar is the operational buyer** in schools. The head signs off but rarely evaluates. **Independent schools and private training providers are the easiest targets** — they're commercially run, they decide for themselves, and the cycle is measured in weeks r
