Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. a. Nature of the Business Learning Tree International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) develop, market, and deliver a broad, predominately proprietary, library of instructor-led classroom courses that are designed to meet the professional development needs of information technology (“IT”) professionals and managers worldwide. These courses are delivered primarily at our leased education centers located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Japan. Such course events are also conducted from specially equipped facilities, in hotel and conference facilities, and at customer sites throughout the world. Almost all of our course titles are also available to individuals located worldwide through Learning Tree AnyWare™, our patent-pending live online learning interface that allows individuals at any location to attend a live instructor-led Learning Tree class via the Internet. Our courses provide both breadth and depth of education across a wide range of technical and management disciplines, including operating systems, databases, computer networks, computer and network security, web development, programming languages, software engineering, open source applications, project management, business skills, and leadership and professional development.

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Learning Tree International, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The following is a list of our subsidiaries as of September 29, 2017: Learning Tree International USA, Inc. (U.S.) Learning Tree International, K.K. (Japan) Learning Tree International Ltd. (United Kingdom) Learning Tree International AB (Sweden) Learning Tree International Inc. (Canada) Advanced Technology Marketing, Inc. (U.S.) AnyWare Live, Inc. (U.S.) d. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Our revenues are primarily received from business entities and government agencies for the professional training of their employees. Course events range in length from one five three 52 53 five 52 53 We offer our customers a multiple-course sales discount referred to as a Learning Tree Training Passport. A Learning Tree Training Passport allows an individual Passport holder to attend up to a specified number of courses over a one two or a fixed price. For Training Passports, revenue is recognized as courses are attended with the amount of revenue recognized based upon the selling price of the Training Passport, the list price of the course taken, the weighted average list price of all courses taken and the estimated average number of courses all Passport holders will actually attend. Upon expiration of each individual Training Passport, we record the difference, if any, between the revenues previously recognized and that specific Training Passport’s total invoiced price. The estimated attendance rate is based upon the historical experience of the average number of course events that Training Passport holders have attended. The actual Training Passport attendance rate is reviewed at least semi-annually, and if the Training Passport attendance rates change, the revenue recognition rate for active Training Passports and for Training Passports sold thereafter is adjusted prospectively. We believe it is appropriate to recognize revenues on this basis in order to most closely match revenue and related costs, as a substantial number of Passport holders do not nts permitted by their Training Passports. We believe the use of recent historical data is reasonable and appropriate because of the relative stability of the average actual number of course events attended by Passport holders. The average actual attend ance rate for all expired Training Passports has closely approximated the estimated rate we utilize.

Share-Based Compensation We estimate the fair value of share-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We estimate the fair value of share-based restricted stock units and restricted stock grants using the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of variables, including our expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. We analyzed our historical volatility to estimate the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate at the date of grant that most closely resembles the expected life of our options. The estimated expected life represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and has been determined based on the simplified method under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation not As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated pre-vesting forfeitures. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. f. Course Development Costs Course development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. g.

Equipment, Property and Leasehold Improvements Equipment, property and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Education and office equipment (years) 3 to 5 Transportation equipment (years) 4 Accounting software (years) 7 Leasehold improvements 20 years or the life of the lease, if shorter Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $ 1,945 $2,830 2017 2016, During fiscal year 2017, $0.5 third During fiscal year 2016, $1.8 $0.3 The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with a leased facility is recorded as an asset (leasehold improvements) and a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. See also Note 2 k. Long-Lived Assets We periodically review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, such as equipment, property and leasehold improvements for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not l. Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues primarily relate to unearned revenues associated with Training Passports, Training Vouchers and advance payments received from customers for course events to be held in the future. m. Comprehensive loss We report comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss represents changes in stockholders ’ equity from non-owner sources and is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. At the end of fiscal year 2017, 877 882 2016. n.

Foreign Currency We translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from the local (functional) currencies to U.S. dollars. The rates of exchange at each fiscal year end are used for translating the assets and liabilities and the average monthly rates of exchange for each year are used for the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Gains or losses arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries ’ financial statements are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. To date, we have not p. Deferred Facilities Rent Operating Lease Activities: We lease education center and administrative office space under various operating lease agreements. Certain lease agreements include provisions that provide for cash incentives, graduated rent payments and other inducements. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the related terms of such leases. The value of lease incentives and/or inducements, along with the excess of the rent expense recognized over the rentals paid, is recorded as deferred facilities rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease Termination Activities: We record liabilities for costs that will be incurred under a contract without economic benefit at estimated fair value. We have vacated space in leased facilities subject to operating leases and recorded the estimated liability associated with future rentals at the cease-use date. The fair value of the liability at the cease-use date was determined based on the remaining cash flows for lease rentals, and minimum lease payments, reduced by estimated sublease rentals and certain subtenant reimbursements that could be reasonably obtained for the property, discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The liability is adjusted for changes, if any, resulting from revisions to estimated cash flows after the cease-use date, measured using the original historical credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Changes due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense. q. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted interest-bearing investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, and current portion of loan payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the non-current portion of loan payable also approximates fair value since this loan substantially consist of the new financing agreement that was obtained during the current fiscal year as discussed in Note 12 r. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. s.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. We record a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The ARO liability is recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service and whereby we have contractual commitments to remove leasehold improvements and to return the leased facility back to a specified condition when the lease terminates. For a facility lease, this is typically at the inception of the lease. When the ARO liability is initially recorded, we increase the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset (leasehold improvements) by an amount equal to the calculated liability. The liability is subsequently accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset, which is the lease term. The ARO liability is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense (included in general and administrative expenses) is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO liability is measured using the expected future cash outflows related to the lease and calculated by using inflation rates in effect at the time of adoption and incorporating a market-risk premium, and discounted at our credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate at the time of adoption. Any difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an asset retirement obligation and the recorded liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in our earnings. Each ARO liability is based on a number of assumptions requiring judgment. We cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that will be required in future periods due to the availability of additional information, technology changes, the price of labor costs and other factors. The following table presents the activity for our ARO liabilities, which primarily consists of the estimated cost to remove leasehold improvements at our Education Centers: Year ended Year ended September 29, 2017 September 30, 2016 ARO balance, beginning of period $ 1,369 $ 1,669 Accretion expense 66 76 Liabilities satisfied 0 (128 ) Settlement of ARO liability (310 ) (77 ) Foreign currency translation 18 (171 ) ARO balance, end of period $ 1,143 $ 1,369 |

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Our revenues are primarily received from business entities and government agencies for the professional training of their employees. Course events range in length from one five three 52 53 five 52 53 We offer our customers a multiple-course sales discount referred to as a Learning Tree Training Passport. A Learning Tree Training Passport allows an individual Passport holder to attend up to a specified number of courses over a one two or a fixed price. For Training Passports, revenue is recognized as courses are attended with the amount of revenue recognized based upon the selling price of the Training Passport, the list price of the course taken, the weighted average list price of all courses taken and the estimated average number of courses all Passport holders will actually attend. Upon expiration of each individual Training Passport, we record the difference, if any, between the revenues previously recognized and that specific Training Passport’s total invoiced price. The estimated attendance rate is based upon the historical experience of the average number of course events that Training Passport holders have attended. The actual Training Passport attendance rate is reviewed at least semi-annually, and if the Training Passport attendance rates change, the revenue recognition rate for active Training Passports and for Training Passports sold thereafter is adjusted prospectively. We believe it is appropriate to recognize revenues on this basis in order to most closely match revenue and related costs, as a substantial number of Passport holders do not nts permitted by their Training Passports. We believe the use of recent historical data is reasonable and appropriate because of the relative stability of the average actual number of course events attended by Passport holders.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | e. Share-Based Compensation We estimate the fair value of share-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We estimate the fair value of share-based restricted stock units and restricted stock grants using the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of variables, including our expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. We analyzed our historical volatility to estimate the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate at the date of grant that most closely resembles the expected life of our options. The estimated expected life represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and has been determined based on the simplified method under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation not As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated pre-vesting forfeitures.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block] | p. Deferred Facilities Rent Operating Lease Activities: We lease education center and administrative office space under various operating lease agreements. Certain lease agreements include provisions that provide for cash incentives, graduated rent payments and other inducements. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the related terms of such leases. The value of lease incentives and/or inducements, along with the excess of the rent expense recognized over the rentals paid, is recorded as deferred facilities rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease Termination Activities: We record liabilities for costs that will be incurred under a contract without economic benefit at estimated fair value. We have vacated space in leased facilities subject to operating leases and recorded the estimated liability associated with future rentals at the cease-use date. The fair value of the liability at the cease-use date was determined based on the remaining cash flows for lease rentals, and minimum lease payments, reduced by estimated sublease rentals and certain subtenant reimbursements that could be reasonably obtained for the property, discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The liability is adjusted for changes, if any, resulting from revisions to estimated cash flows after the cease-use date, measured using the original historical credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Changes due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | q. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted interest-bearing investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, and current portion of loan payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the non-current portion of loan payable also approximates fair value since this loan substantially consist of the new financing agreement that was obtained during the current fiscal year as discussed in Note 12 |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | r. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
