120+Participants
Across the globeAttendees from many countries

What it covered

  • What CPP® and PSP® are, and how they differ at a glance
  • Which one suits your role and career direction, and why some pursue both
  • ASIS eligibility routes and the first rule: verify with ASIS
  • The official reference sets and how long to prepare
  • Six preparation mistakes to avoid
  • Professional value, with realistic expectations

Three ideas we left with

“Neither is universally better. The right credential depends on your role, experience and career direction.”

“Your baseline determines your timeline, not somebody else’s examination date.”

“Certification may open the door. Competence carries you through it.”
