Certification Institution
London International Studies and Research Center™ (LISRC) is a specialist professional education institution headquartered in Dubai, UAE. We exist for a single, focused purpose: to prepare supply chain and logistics professionals for globally recognised certifications that genuinely advance careers.
Unlike generalist training providers offering hundreds of unrelated courses, LISRC dedicates its entire curriculum, faculty, and operational excellence to one domain — supply chain management, logistics, and operations. This laser focus is the source of our 95% first-attempt pass rate and the trust of over 13,599 graduates.
Our programmes are delivered across Dubai and virtually across the GCC, bringing together professionals from procurement, logistics, operations, inventory, and warehousing who are united by a desire to elevate their expertise and credentials.
Our Mission
To deliver world-class professional certification programmes that equip supply chain and logistics professionals with the strategic knowledge, practical competencies, and globally recognised credentials they need to accelerate their careers and drive organisational excellence.
Our Vision
To be the Middle East's most trusted centre of excellence for supply chain and logistics education — developing, connecting, and empowering the region's best professionals to shape the future of global commerce.
Our Approach
Practitioner-led teaching. Structured exam frameworks. Real-world case studies drawn from GCC industry. We combine the rigour of global accreditation with the contextual relevance of regional expertise.

Five World-Class Bodies Stand Behind Your Credential
LISRC's programmes are backed by the most rigorous accreditation and quality assurance frameworks in professional education — from Dubai's Government regulator to London's oldest chambers, to the global body that has certified 300,000+ supply chain professionals worldwide.
ASCM / APICS Certification — What You Need to Know
The CSCP credential is awarded by ASCM directly upon passing the official ASCM examination — not by LISRC. What LISRC provides is a comprehensive, expert-led CSCP exam preparatory programme as a dedicated CSCP exam preparatory programme provider. We take a genuine hand-holding approach: from your first module to your exam day, our instructors guide you through every concept, every practice question, and every exam strategy. We have a 95% first-attempt pass rate because we don't stop supporting you until you succeed.
KHDA
Knowledge and Human Development Authority
Dubai Government Quality Seal
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is the regulatory body of the Government of Dubai responsible for the quality and development of private education and training across the Emirate. When LISRC earned KHDA approval, it underwent a rigorous institutional audit covering faculty credentials, curriculum standards, learning outcomes, assessment practices, and governance frameworks. KHDA approval is not awarded to every provider — it is earned through demonstrable quality and sustained performance. For professionals in the UAE, KHDA approval is the government's assurance that the education they are receiving meets the highest standards of the Emirate. It is the prerequisite credential that HR departments, government ministries, and corporate L&D teams require before approving any employer-funded training.
- Established under the Government of Dubai
- Regulates 175,000+ learning seats across the Emirate
- LISRC holds active, audited KHDA-approved status
- Required for employer-sponsored training reimbursement in UAE
- Mandatory for government ministry recognition of certificates
Why This Matters for Your Career
For UAE-based professionals, KHDA approval transforms your certificate from a piece of paper into a government-recognised credential — accepted by HR departments across all industries for career advancement and visa documentation.
CPD
CPD Certification Service — London, UK
Internationally Recognised Professional Development

Every LISRC programme carries CPD certification, meaning the hours completed by participants are formally logged and recognised for professional development purposes. For professionals holding regulated licences — accountants, engineers, HR professionals, supply chain leaders — CPD hours are a mandatory annual requirement. LISRC's CPD certification ensures that every hour you invest in your education directly contributes toward these professional maintenance requirements.
- Established and headquartered in London, UK
- Recognised by 50+ global professional associations
- CPD hours count toward annual professional licensing renewal

ICPQ
Institute of Certified Professional Qualifications — UK
The Mark of Excellence
The Institute of Certified Professional Qualifications (ICPQ), UK, is a professional quality assurance body that independently certifies training institutions and qualification frameworks against defined standards of excellence. ICPQ's coveted 'Mark of Excellence' is awarded only to institutions that demonstrate verified quality across curriculum design, instructor competency, learner outcomes, and assessment integrity — standards that go above and beyond basic regulatory compliance. LISRC's ICPQ certification provides an additional layer of independently verified quality assurance. It reinforces to employers, regulators, and professionals that LISRC programmes are held to exacting, externally audited standards. In a market flooded with training providers offering certificates of questionable value, the ICPQ Mark of Excellence is a clear differentiator — an independently verified signal that what LISRC delivers meets the highest professional qualification standards.
- UK-based independent professional quality assurance body
- Coveted 'Mark of Excellence' designation — not universally granted
- Independently audited curriculum, faculty, and outcomes
- Recognised by UAE and GCC employers as a quality standard
- Represents quality above and beyond basic regulatory compliance
Why This Matters for Your Career
The ICPQ Mark of Excellence tells every employer: this institution has been independently audited and found to meet the highest standards of professional qualification quality. Not every provider earns it.
