About 'LPB' and 'The TIC Academy'
Introducing LPB and The TIC Academy
Integrating research with potential!
In the dynamic landscape of regulations, staying ahead can be challenging. Regulatory frameworks take time to develop and evolve, leaving businesses in a constant state of adaptation. However, there's a reliable stopgap that ensures compliance while regulations catch up: ISO Standards and codes of practice.
ISO Standards provide a robust framework that helps businesses navigate compliance requirements efficiently. By adhering to ISO Standards, organisations not only keep in step with legal obligations, but also gain several business benefits:
Enhanced Efficiency: ISO Standards streamline processes, reducing inefficiencies and operational costs.
Improved Reputation: Compliance with ISO Standards demonstrates a commitment to quality, sustainability, health and well being and reliability, to name but a few, enhancing the organisation's reputation among stakeholders.
Access to Markets: Many industries require ISO certification as a prerequisite for entering certain markets, opening up new opportunities for growth and expansion.
Risk Management: ISO Standards provide guidelines for governance, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and management, helping organisations identify and mitigate potential threats effectively.
LPB, an AI enabled and modern-methods based Research and Development Organization (RDO), is dedicated to advancing ISO Standards based development of Companies, and their people. Enhancing their success, through increased knowledge and understanding of systems, methods and technologies. Together these positively impact People, Planet, and sustainable Business practices.
The ethos behind LPB is rooted in translating research outcomes into tangible targets and objectives for training, personal enhancement and sustainable business development. These objectives are then crafted into comprehensive training courses leading to the award of micro-credentials, which showcase understanding of emerging industry themes and technologies. Certifications from courses, Professional practitioner registrations and TIC Academy Licensed post-nominals, collectively demonstrate acquisition of the underpinning knowledge, skills and understanding, needed to navigate the rapidly changing and constantly evolving, TIC Sector landscape.

TIC Academy Qualifications and Micro Credentials:
The scope of some TIC Academy courses are extremely wide and therefore, whilst presented as a 'stand-alone Module or course in their own right, they are also intended to provide a broad overview of technical concepts and sectoral management applications. This principle is intended to increase the awareness of the student and expose learners to a wider understanding of research based outcomes, and some of the possible uses of various applications in various industries.
With all TIC Academy courses there is a requirement for the Student to increase further knowledge on the subjects provided, through external reading and further learning for extended self-development, this is where a CPD rating is provided, which goes beyond that of the course itself. It is recommended that the course completion time (expressed in hours expended not lapsed), and any extra curricular learning (CPD rating), be added together when claiming CPD for external and ongoing professional registration recognition.
