Take a look at what loss prevention professionals are saying!"The LPQ certification is an excellent starting point or baseline for any LP/AP professional. I found the topics and questions to be comprehensive and informative. This certification should be viewed as the new standard for continuing education for LP/AP professionals regardless of tenure and time in position. This should not be viewed as a document or certificate but more as a demonstration of the individuals' commitment to self and the idea of continued and ongoing professional development."Chris Mc Cray, CFI, LPC, LPQ "I have been in LP for around 16 years but I can definitely say that I learned a lot of valuable information about business in general, law, and LP from completing the LPQ course work and exam. I would strongly recommend the LPQ exam for newly hired LP professionals and those that have been in the business for a few years." Philip Roundtree, LPQ "The questions were challenging and it is a great representation of what loss prevention associates need to know to be successful. The loss prevention field is more than catching shoplifters; it is being knowledgeable in all aspects of the business, operations, safety, hazmat, generating revenue and creating return on investment to show the importance of our profession." Tim Dennis "The LPQ taught me how loss prevention interests apply across all functions of retail, from operational audit to merchandising. This certification makes one aware of the relevance of loss prevention for multiple retail functions and how to best apply the loss prevention principles for maximum effectiveness. Furthermore, it taught me how to apply these principles to any segment of retail, from specialty to big box to grocery." Liz Benson, LPQ "My LPQ certification let my superiors know that I am serious about my Loss Prevention career. I was praised during one of our weekly conference calls for being in the first group to achieve their LPQ. I received emails from numerous executives in the company that had never talked to me or asked for my advice. In one case, I was contacted by the operations committee to give my advice on changing a certain policy within our company. This motivated my peers to study and complete their LPQ exams. It makes our department look more credible to have some type of certification. I truly believe that in the future companies will not hire LP personnel unless they have a certification. Some people say that a certification is just a piece of paper. To that I say, It is most certainly a piece of paper that everyone in my field wishes they had." Herman O. Laskey Jr, LPQ, CFI "Although I've been in the security industry for 20 years, the LPQ course offered a comprehensive view into a different segment of loss prevention than the one I ‘live’ in. It gave me significant and fresh information. Acquiring this certification gives me additional weapons of knowledge that I can use in my presentations to clients. The course also gave me a different look at how to approach a segment of our market that I previously lumped into a more general grouping." Neil Appel, LPQ "It is a large amount of info obtained through the course that I would otherwise not have known as my areas of responsibility didn't necessarily cover everything in LP." George Scerbovic "Retail loss prevention has been thirsty for a professional designation that demonstrates knowledge, competency and professionalism. LPQ is a fantastic way for those new to the business to demonstrate each of those. LPC is a great way to further show that skills have been honed to be a leader in retail loss prevention." Bill Napier, LPC "By attaining LPF Certification as an individual, I feel it demonstrates that the individual maintains a certain level of proficiency in several diverse areas within the loss prevention field. This proficiency creates a “known value” for one’s resume that industry colleagues and hiring managers may appreciate." Dustin L. Ares, LPC "This is a perfect way for a LP Professional to expand their knowledge which would lead to expanding their opportunities to grow. Many professional career fields have a certification process; this certification would put the LP professional on par with other professional career fields. Certification shows that the LP Professional has attained the necessary basic knowledge to perform their job with minimum training time." Michael D. Rock "Teachers, Law enforcement, Nurses, Accountants, Real-estate agents etc. are all required to be certified in their fields, why not the Loss prevention professional." John Howard "After finishing Module 1 it is obvious that a lot of research and thought went into this course. The vast wealth of information and knowledge is tremendous for someone like me, who is coming into the field with very little specific loss prevention knowledge. I've worked in retail for more than eight years and never had a training aid as conclusive as this course. The wealth of information is tremendous.." Thomas Courtney | |
