The Learning & Performance Institute (LPI) (formally The Institute of IT Training (IITT)) is a self-governing, not-for-profit professional body for training professionals. It was established in 1995 and since then has grown on an annual basis. In February 2010 the Institute completed a management buyout from membership and research organisation, the National Computing Centre and is now a self-governing body.[1]
Today, the Institute has over 3,000 individual members and 400 accredited corporate members.[2]
Professional Standards
The LPI exists to continuously raise standards of professionalism within the training industry.[3]
Through a 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 training activities, and assessing the quality of training services.
An independent view
The LPI is a self-governing, objective body and as such is able to adopt an impartial viewpoint to monitoring benchmarks of excellence and standards against which it can measure the performance of training professionals.
Membership
The LPI provides various levels of individual membership for training professionals. The level of membership afforded to an individual is dependent on their level of experience, skills and qualifications gained in the Learning and Development industry.
LPI membership carries postal-nominal letters which vary depending on the level of membership.
Accreditation
Organisations and Training Providers receive accreditation to demonstrate that they meet the Institute’s standards of excellence in the implementation and delivery of training services. As part of accreditation the Institute works with accredited companies to monitor their performance and ensure that they are continually raising industry standards.
The majority of the Top 50 training companies (according to IT Training Magazine) are accredited by the Institute.[4]
