PROFESSOR DR. RALPH THOMAS IS A GREAT VISIONARY TRUE TO THE BIBLICAL SAYING! »

Accolade to the Visionary Founder
Professor Dr. Ralph J. Thomas is a great visionary true to the Biblical saying,
‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’.
His passion for education is like an “Olympic Torch” which is undying. His desire is to develop Professional and Vocational Educational Qualification for career development, incomparable  and a revolution in the systems of study.
As a self-made personality Prof Ralph’s roles have been manifold, starting with Religious Training to Hospitality, Marketing, Business, Finance and Further & Higher Education, to Prestigious Club Organizations and Professional Organisations, where he has held high-ranking positions.
In recognising his unrelenting contribution towards Professional and Vocational Education and that too on an `honorary' basis, in the year of 2000, he was rewarded with “Freeman of London”  which is a prestigious declaration to the Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth II,  to be obedient and to keep the Queens peace in person with well & true keep, according to the law & customs of the city. This has further enabled him to become the “Freeman of England & Wales”. This is a duplex endorsement given to Prof. Ralph J Thomas and he was sworn individually by Chamberlain Clive Laydn Martin, Esquire OBE, TD, DI and Peter Derrick, Esquire in the reign of the 49th year of Queen Elizabeth II. He was admitted to sign the significant book where distinguished  persons such as American Presidents, Head of States, and Noble Award Recipients have penned their name.
Though these have been all success stories, his heart and soul was set on making Professional Education an affordable and easily accessible gift of God. He was able to make this a reality in 1996.
His goal is to make available Professional Qualifications to all who have been denied the opportunities to gain qualifications because of enormous fees prompted by the Traditional Red Brick University path.
Prof Ralph J Thomas firmly believes that if anyone is to achieve great things in life, he/she must not only dream but must believe in self, plan and act upon it.
Thus he started UK-CCL. His mission was that UK-CCL would be an Independent Quality Standards Evaluating Organization with the prime task of Examining, Assessing, Verifying and Validating Institutions with the objective to meet International Accreditation Standards. To this effect, he developed a Benching Marking Concept known as “UK-CCL QMS 2005”
Prof Ralph J Thomas has tirelessly worked in getting academics, eminent educationists, professionals and notable public figures to serve in the Assessment Board of UK CCL to advise, monitor and maintain the very high standards that UK-CCL stands for -
Quality Professional Qualifications in a Viable Capsule
He is undaunted in his indefatigable efforts, in his dedication to the advancement of candidates by working closely with employers, businesses, and many professional bodies, professional educational institutions the world over.
For authenticity and credibility of UK CCL, he creditably got the approval stamp of “British Qualifications” from the 32nd edition onwards. This publication is an A-Z directory guide to educational, technical, professional and academic qualifications in Great Britain.
Prof Ralph J Thomas is ever willing to offer more to the service of education but 25 hours a day is not enough for him! His strong believe is that knowledge should be shared in the philosiphy of “Givers and Gainers”.
His vision is to be innovative and to be First in the Mind of people rather than First in the Marketplace.
