Unique and flexible, the Certified in Security Supervision and Management (CSSM) Program distance learning course is designed to meet the needs of the security supervisor or manager. The program consists of an unsupervised midterm examination (optional) and a mandatory proctored final examination.

The textbook is “Security Supervision: Theory and Practice of Asset Protection,” published by Butterworth-Heinemann. The text is the result of an alliance between IFPO, the publisher, and more than 50 of the industry’s leading security supervisors, authors, educators, and consultants. This text serves not only as an excellent source of information for the course, but as a valuable reference the practitioner or student. It is also an excellent text for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in Security Management, Homeland Security, and similar disciplines.
