Spotlighting Loss Prevention Certified Professionals

“The LPC course material is a very robust, well-crafted program that challenges you to become proficient in all aspects of the loss prevention industry. Even with the years of experience I possess, I found the course material “come to life” during business travels and discussions. I finally stopped making excuses, made time, and prioritized my commitment to my own personal professional development.”

Shelley, LPC Harris Teeter Supermarkets

“I’ve been blown away at how thorough the material is for the LPQ & LPC certifications, truly bridging the gap for new professionals and helping existing ones grow in business acumen. Transitioning from law enforcement into LP has been easier with the knowledge gained from the LPC and the resources available from the LPF. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to shift careers, engage in the industry, and outperform peers.”

Xavier Ruiz, LPC Family Dollar

“The LPC course is something that I have been wanting to take since 2020 to further my personal development. The learnings I gained from this course are invaluable and I’m looking forward to applying the lessons learned to my current role.”

Gregory Jackson, LPC Target

“The LPC course is both challenging and rewarding. The decision to take this course to expand and test my business knowledge was a no brainer! I feel great about the content learned and how I can apply lessons in my current role and beyond. This certification proves expertise and solidifies credibility in the loss prevention industry.”

Nick Mergel, LPC Amazon

I thought the LPC course content did a great job capturing the ever-changing world of LP in the retail environment. The content itself is applicable whether you come from a traditional brick and mortar concept, or work in a fulfillment or distribution setting. The LPC is an excellent developmental opportunity for LP professionals looking to grow in the field, or for those who want to look at the business from a different perspective.”

Jonathan Hickey, LPQ The Home Depot

“The LPQ coursework was relevant and current from beginning to end. It touched on aspects of the retail industry that will help me be a better business partner and stay highly engaged with the teams I interact with. I’m excited to continue learning and utilizing the knowledge this course provided me. The LPQ course will absolutely make me a better professional.”

“I took this certification in tandem with one of my courses at the University of South Carolina, and it greatly summarized some of my previous coursework as well as taught me new information that will be useful for different functional areas of the retail industry.”

— Sydney Daigle, LPQ

Ronald Tolzman, LPQ Festival Foods

“I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to expand my knowledge in the LP field. With the knowledge I’ve obtained throughout the course, I feel more confident as an LP professional, a leader, and as a business partner. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to Festival Foods and the amazing leaders surrounding me that inspire and encourage my continuous professional growth and development.”

Benz Dechjirakul, LPQ GateKeeper Systems
