Course Overview
Get the very best results from your ASIS CPP® 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 CPP® exam.
ASIS CPP® certification enhances career opportunities by demonstrating management skills in seven key security domains. It is one of the most widely-recognised security management qualifications in the world, often referred to as the “gold standard” for professionals. CPP® accreditation provides employers, colleagues and peers with professional assurance of the holder’s advanced knowledge backed by a minimum of 5 to 7 years’ experience.
The CPP® exam consists of 200 scored and 25 unscored multiple-choice questions. The exam covers tasks, knowledge and skills across seven broad domains. Supported by your study resources which you need to purchase before the course begins, this bootcamp aids your preparation with complete mock exams, assessing your understanding of the materials and highlighting areas for further study.
Note: the ASIS exams are experience-based therefore, you will need to apply your own experience to answer the questions correctly. Please don’t attempt to memorise the reference sets. Please note this training is only applicable if you have the 2021 versions of the CPP® materials. You will need to purchase your own copy of the ASIS CPP® Reference Materials before the course begins. These can be purchased directly from ASIS International.
Virtual Classroom
For this virtual classroom course, you will need a stable internet connection, 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 or BST time zone depending on time of year. 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.
You are required to complete the assessment workbook, exercises, and prepare for the next day, in hours outside of the core teaching hours. This course is also delivered online in a self-paced course, or in person during the classroom boot-camp course.
