Physical Security Training Program (PSTP)

Up one level

The PSTP is a basic program designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of physical security systems and procedures. The survey process is the common thread used in teaching this program. The PSTP includes conceptual security considerations, vulnerabilities assessments, and familiarization with hardware and procedures. A comprehensive practical exercise is followed by a formal presentation of the survey results by each of the survey groups.

How You Will Benefit

The Physical Security Training Program will provide the student with in-depth knowledge on many relevant physical security issues. Subject-matter expertise is provided by staff and guest instructors, utilizing lecture, active hands-on training, real-world demonstrations, and intellectually stimulating student centered learning methodologies.
