Certified Protection Professional (CPP) Review Course

Overview

The Certified Protection Professional (CPP) is one of the most respected credentials in the global security management profession, awarded by ASIS International — the world’s largest membership organization for security management professionals. Earning the CPP demonstrates a proven level of competence in security solutions, business operations, and risk management to organizations worldwide.

DIT’s CPP Review Course is a highly interactive program designed to prepare experienced security professionals in Ghana and the wider West African region to sit the ASIS CPP examination with confidence. The course features case studies, group discussions, and hands-on exercises that let participants apply and demonstrate the advanced knowledge the examination requires.

Who It’s For

This course is intended for:

• Security managers and senior security practitioners preparing to sit the ASIS CPP examination
• Corporate and facility security leaders seeking to formalize advanced security management expertise
• Law enforcement and military professionals transitioning into corporate or private-sector security management
• Security consultants seeking a globally recognized credential to strengthen their practice

Because the CPP examination has its own eligibility criteria set by ASIS International (based on years of security management experience and education), this course is best suited to professionals who already meet, or are close to meeting, those requirements.
