Setting Sights on the CPP Designation

A group of UK ASIS Chapter members are firmly on track to achieving the coveted CPP certification in May.

Their programme began in January, with a series of challenging distance-learning assignments. In the most recent assignment, topics under detailed study included information security, investigations, interviewing, access control, and emergency management.

The programme culminates at the end of April with a one-week intensive residential course, following which the candidates will undertake the gruelling 200-question examination. This is now computer-based, so results will be available immediately.

According to the course director, David Cresswell, all of the candidates are on course for a first-time pass.

The next combined distance learning/residential programme begins in July, aiming for a November exam. For details contact Janet or go to http://www.arc-tc.com/pages/asis_cpp_psp.asp#asis1.

Alternatively, ARC has introduced a new two-week crammer course, which aims to take candidates from a standing start to being ready to sit the exam in 14 days of continuous study. For details of the latter, go to http://www.arc-tc.com/pages/asis_cpp_psp.asp#cpp.
