What the industry is saying about IFPO security training and education
What security guards and protection officer staff are saying:
I just wanted to let you know that on Friday, February 19th I passed my CPP exam! Thanks to the CPO, CSSM and CPOI Programs that I participated in, they helped me to be prepared.
Lonnie Muhammad, CPOI Edison, NJ
Finally there's a security training program for the working person who is not in a management position.

With the CPO designation, I now walk tall and speak with a high degree of authority on security officer issues both in the private and public sectors. Top police officers marvel at the depth of my professional knowledge.
Biyi Adegoroye, CPO, Editor Nigerian National Mirror, Lagos Nigeria
The material was really clear and understandable. I would surely like to promote the IFPO on the islands of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
Carson Gomez, Police Lieutenant, Dept. of Protective Services, Netherlands Antilles Police Force
I have found the SSMP Course very beneficial in my day-to-day duties as sergeant in a busy security guard department. The SSMP Course has facilitated better communication between my supervisor and myself.
St. Kris A. Highballing, Patellae Co., Ohio
I really recommend this course to anyone who is in search of a class on security training. The study guide is comprehensive and the references mentioned in each chapter make self-education really easy.

Sections on behavior, investigative techniques, and equipment are highly relevant.

The CPO program has given me wider insight into the security officer profession. The textbook is very readable.

Your Certified Security Supervisor and Certified Protection Officer courses provided me with a condensed and comprehensive training. Gave me just the confidence and jump start I needed!
Glen Hag er, CPP, CPO, CSS; IBM Security Administrator; Lexington, KY.
The CPO training course showed me how much I still had to learn, including issues of human behavior and the history of security guard work. I gained a lot of useful knowledge from challenging and detailed technical sections.

I've done everything from basic door rattler security guard to director of corporate security training and I really value the professional certification process that you are putting into place.
Kim Savvy, Charlemagne Inc., Everett, WA
The concept of Certified Protection Officer could revolutionize our industry. I salute your consistency and progressive attitude.
David A. Kirby, Security Officer, Vancouver, B.C.
I thoroughly enjoyed working each chapter. My basic security knowledge is much stronger and I am looking forward to the final exam for certification as a Protection Officer.

Good quality, interesting articles that are written for the security officer (I mean the guy or gal out there walking the beat).

I'm very glad with the involvement( s ) of IFPO Europe by means of European Securiy Academy and the Teacher - Instructors Joop Verdonk and Peter Olijslager and IFPO International, in this "International European Endeavour" for this is truly a joining of both worlds.
