Professional Assessment Board

 

  • Assessment in General

Each of the 12 unit assignments that make up the CSMP® Accredited Diploma is designed to assess you in your assimilation of the unit materials provided and your ability to apply knowledge and theory to specific practical circumstances.  With the assessment focus on demonstration of application, essay writing skills are less important but you do need to be able to analyse typical security problems and produce appropriate solutions.

 

  • Performance Measurement and Accuracy

A unique characteristic of the CSMP® Accredited Diploma is that during the course of the distance learning programme students are typically assessed by up to 12 different assessors, each a highly competent senior security management professional who has personally undertaken – and excelled in – the CSMP® process.  Thus, they have the ability to view the challenges of the programme from your perspective.  Bios of the assessors are provided below and as all assessors are CSMP®-certified this also gives you an indication of the kinds of professionals who undertake the CSMP® Accredited Diploma programme.

 

  • Professionalisation of the Assessment Process

The assessment process is entirely professionalised and a critical quality differentiator is that ISMI® doesn’t use volunteer (unpaid) support.   All assignments are marked by two assessors, who are externally verified, ensuring objectivity, accuracy and consistency of assessment. 

 

  • Assessor Subject Matter Expertise, International Relevance and Credentials

Assessors are drawn from a variety of sectors, subject matter expertise areas and, importantly, several different countries.  This ensures that ISMI® can tailor assessment to specific assessor areas of expertise and underscores the validity of the international “credentials” of the certification.  In short, being professional certified in security management by the distinquished group of professionals listed below is a worthy addition to any CV! 

 

  • Coaching

Many of the assessors also support students directly in the capacity of coaches, offering mentoring via email and telephone.
