CPP is based on the ASIS POA Manual plus specific ASIS standards and guidelines; /csmp/asis-cpp-and-psp-classroom-preparation-programmes/cpp-and-psp-study-materials.aspx PSP is based on a different set of books; /csmp/asis-cpp-and-psp-classroom-preparation-programmes/cpp-and-psp-study-materials.aspx

About Your Study Commitment
It takes about 250 hours of study to prepare for the CPP or PSP examinations. The reference materials can appear overwhelming at first (circa 3,000 pages for CPP) and one of the purposes of ISMI®’s 3-day classroom programme is to help you focus your studies on concepts which are likely to be most relevant to the examination.
The process can appear a little confusing at the outset. For example, the CPP has 7 study domains. The Protection of Assets Manual has 6 books. ISMI® will help you in understanding which parts of which reference materials correspond to which study domains.
The ISMI® home-study pack will reinforce the classroom study, providing synopses and interpretations of key reference materials, glossaries, indices and lexicons, and over one thousand practice questions, some standard Q&A and hundreds of multiple choice questions, similar in format to those you will encounter in the examination.
By forming a study group with your fellow students you will be able to network and exchange answers, and you will have ISMI® at the end of the phone to advise or point you in the right direction.
