TICA and ACAD are the UK’s leading authorities in thermal insulation and asbestos training. We set industry standards through high-quality training, certification, and expert support. Committed to excellence, sustainability, and future-proofing the workforce, we equip professionals with the skills and knowledge to drive industry innovation and achieve net-zero goals.
At TICA and ACAD, we believe that diversity strengthens industries, drives innovation, and creates a more sustainable future. That’s why we’re proud to support The Big Construction Diversity Challenge, an initiative that champions inclusivity across the construction sector.
Thermal insulation and asbestos management are vital but often overlooked trades, and we recognize the importance of making these industries more accessible to people from all backgrounds. By supporting diversity, we help break down barriers, challenge outdated perceptions, and create an industry where talent, skill, and dedication—not background—determine success.
Our commitment extends beyond words. Through targeted apprenticeship programs, industry-leading training, and ongoing advocacy, we strive to make the sector more welcoming, whether by encouraging more women into technical roles, supporting underrepresented groups, or providing inclusive training opportunities.
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge aligns with our values of integrity, leadership, and inclusivity—together, we can create an industry that reflects the diverse world we live in while building a stronger, more innovative workforce for the future.
