The IFPO (International Foundation for Protection Officers) Board of Directors established and maintains a voluntary certification process ( the Certified Protection Officerscourse) based on current and valid standards that measure competency in the practice of private security for Security Officers. The IFPO requires that all programs that offer a certification must be maintained by the individual through a recertification process. The CPO certificate is valid for a period of 2 years, at which time a recertification must be achieved.

The CPO test is a proctored exam, with a time constraint of 3 hours, and consists of 328 questions regarding the following areas of private, industrial, and corporate security:

  • Physical Security Applications
  • Alarm System Fundamentals
  • Access Control
  • Information Security
  • Protection Officers and Emergency Response
  • Strikes, Lockouts and Labour Relations
  • Workplace violence
  • Effective Communications
  • Environmental Crime Control Theory
  • Emergency Planning and Disaster Control
  • Use of Force
  • Ethics and Professionalism


The designation of CPO is an internationally recognized title in the Security field, so long as the title holder's certification is held in a current status.
