Timian Licensing & Regulatory Disclosure

Specific Terms for Timian Courses

Regulatory Status

JL Academy Ltd is an authorised Timian Academy. We are licensed to deliver training within the United Kingdom and International Schools Overseas for the Health, Education, and Social Care sectors.

Providers that are approved will have a certificate from Bild Association of Certified Training containing the Restraint Reduction Network approved logo.

Important Certification Notice:
While JL Academy delivers the training, we do not represent ourselves as the BILD ACT Certified Training Service (CTS). The BILD ACT Certified Training delivered by JL Academy belongs to Timian Learning & Development Ltd, who are the registered BILD ACT CTS.

BILD ACT Delivery Standards: Who Can Deliver?

For training services to be certified and compliant, BILD ACT regulations state they must meet three strict criteria. The training must be:

  • Delivered by an approved training organisation
  • Using an approved curricula
  • Delivered by an approved Senior Trainer or within an approved affiliate provider organisation

Please Note: If any of the above criteria are not met, the training is not certified and therefore not compliant.

Approved Senior Trainers

JL Academy operates in full compliance with these standards.

James Hourihan is a registered Senior Trainer with Timian Learning & Development.

Furthermore, any future trainers trained by JL Academy who successfully achieve Senior Trainer status within Timian are also fully authorised to deliver this certified training. This ensures robust compliance and continuity for your organisation.

Timian Intellectual Property

For all Timian Certified Courses (including Positive Behaviour Management and Train the Trainer), all proprietary training materials, protocols, workbooks, and certification standards are the exclusive property of Timian Learning & Development Ltd.

Materials provided during these courses may not be reproduced or used to train others unless you hold a valid "Train the Trainer" affiliate agreement directly with Timian.

Data Sharing & Certification

To issue BILD ACT / RRN compliant certificates, JL Academy is contractually required to share specific delegate data (Name, Organisation, Assessment Results) with Timian Learning & Development. This data is processed solely for the provision of training and certification.
