How you will study: boot-camp class (5 days)

Pre-course, you will access the online learning platform. Here, you’ll go through the course which guides you to the relevant parts of the CPP POA materials. You can complete mock exams, practice questions, and have received a full explanation of the terminology within the materials. This helps to prepare you for the 5 day boot-camp.

Days one and two: explanation of the timetable of study and approach, followed by familiarisation with the learning domains and study materials.

Days three and four: explanation and discussion of the different domains, followed by consolidation and testing of existing knowledge to identify where further personal revision should be focused.

Day five: completion of mock exams followed by feedback and discussion.

Upon registering your place, you will also join the online learning platform to support your classroom training. There are five modules, each relating to core content from the ASIS CPP Protection of Assets and Standards & Guidelines.

You will be directed to the relevant parts within the CPP materials, and then self-assessment exams will test your understanding of the material. You will submit mock-exams which are reviewed by the course tutor, who feeds back on areas to study in more detail.

Study materials

Please note that you will need to purchase your own copy of ASIS International’s ‘Protection of Assets’ and ‘Standards and Guidelines’ bundles. Along with the ‘Protection of Assets’, these seven Standards and Guidelines make up the CPP reference set:
