Why managing training in this sector is complex
TIQPlus resolves the critical compliance and administrative friction points specific to Financial & Professional Services operations.
FCA and Client Data Security
Financial settings require strict confidentiality. Protect proprietary data with enterprise SSO, role-based controls, and fully audited systems.
Hybrid Workforce Tracking
Verifying off-the-job (OTJ) training across a remote or hybrid workforce is highly challenging. Automate logging to keep files audit-ready.
Administrative Committment Dread
Corporate L&D deals die due to multi-year program overheads. Short modular courses bypass this resistance completely.
Features built for Financial & Professional Services
Standardised learning systems fall short. TIQPlus adapts to your industry's operating requirements.
SOC 2 Type II & SSO Security
Integrate seamlessly with Azure AD, Okta, or Ping Identity. High-level encryption at rest and in transit ensures corporate data remains private.
OTJ Automated Reminders
Keep hybrid learners on track. Automated Slack, Teams, or email nudges prompt learners to log training as they complete it, reducing gateway delays.
AI Programme Builder
Quickly compile internal professional training courses and map them to government standards or internal upskilling matrixes.
