About

The Learning and Performance Institute exists to continuously raise standards of professionalism within the learning industry.

Through an unrivalled range of membership, certification, accreditation, events and bespoke consultancy services, the Institute focuses on enhancing and recognising the skills and professional status of individuals and organisations engaged in learning activities, and assessing the quality of learning services.

Professional recognition

Our focus is fixed firmly on promoting the prestige and integrity of the IT training profession. Certification, Membership, Accreditation and Consultancy through the Institute not only establishes the quality of training individuals, organisations and programmes, but sets our members and client organisations on the path to sustained business improvement.

An independent view

The Institute is a self-governing, objective body. Being vendor neutral means we can concentrate unhindered on the development of professional standards. Our impartial viewpoint means we are uniquely positioned to establish and monitor benchmarks of excellence: standards against which we can measure the performance of training professionals.

Sharing best practice and excellence

Through an extensive schedule of member events, seminars, conferences and awards we bring industry professionals together to learn, share and recognise best practice. Members of the Institute also benefit from the combined purchasing power of a growing body of professionals.
