Course Overview
Get the very best from your ASIS PSP® exam
Delivered in a live virtual classroom using Zoom with a certified tutor, this five-day intensive boot-camp course is designed to give you the best possible chance of passing the ASIS PSP® exam. ASIS PSP® is a Board certification, which is recognised across the world. When you pass your exam, you can use the post-nominals ‘PSP’ after your name, for example ‘Kate Smith PSP.’
Physical security assessments, designs, applications, implementations, and integrations—the Physical Security Professional (PSP®) certification shows your mastery of these key areas. It enhances career opportunities by demonstrating knowledge and experience of threat assessment and risk analysis; integrated physical security systems; and the appropriate identification, implementation and ongoing evaluation of security measures. By earning the PSP, you’ll have the knowledge to stay ahead of physical security threats and safeguard your organisation.
The PSP® exam consists of 140 multiple-choice questions. Supported by your study resources which you need to purchase before the course begins, and your tutor, this bootcamp aids your preparation with complete mock exams, assessing your understanding of the materials and highlighting areas for further study.
For this virtual classroom course, you will need a stable internet connection, and a microphone, speakers and webcam. This helps you to interact with the class in the same way you would in a face-to-face training setting. Please be aware of the time zone differences; our classes run in the GMT/BST time zone depending on time of year. Afternoon sessions can be taken at your own pace, to complete the mock exams taken on our online learning platform.
We recommend you disable your email application when joining live classroom training. This will minimise distractions and interruptions, helping you to focus on the course.
Please get in touch with our team if you have any questions. This course is also delivered online in a self-paced course, or in person during the classroom boot-camp course.
