For many security professionals, IFPO Europe's Certified Protection Officer (CPO) certificate is
the first step towards international recognition.
IFPO's CPO certificate is aimed at security professionals wanting to improve their
individual security skills.
Therefore, qualify yourself in the security risk management discipline and join the network
netwerk van IFPO-gecertificeerde security professionals. In samenwerking met de board van
DutchRisk facilitates a CPO exam 4 times a year.
The content and assessment of the exam is the responsibility of IFPO Europe.
To gain the title of CPO, the candidate needs to study IFPO's book "The Professional Protection
Officer" and complete the exam with success.
By obtaining the CPO certification, proof of knowledge and security skills in the basic security
domains are demonstrated. Furthermore, it offers a great opportunity to meet colleagues
from the sector, to exchange experiences about actual developments in the field and to orientate
yourself internationally.
You can optimally prepare for this exam by participating in the CPO preparation program
. or the CPO exam training offered by DutchRisk.
DutchRisk - until recently in association with European Security Academy - has been
conducting programs to prepare candidates for the CPO exam for more than 20 years.

.
We start with two consecutive review days. During these days, we cover all CPO domains
with the help of the recommended study materials, supplemented with additional
background information, practical examples and practice questions.
The exam training follows about 6 weeks after the review days and aims at rehearsal and
preparaten for the exam.
The exam takes place the next day under the auspices of IFPO-Europe. The costs for
the CPO exam amount to € 250 and will be charged separately.
After successful completion, you will receive the CPO certificate from IFPO Europe. As an extra incentive, DutchRisk will pay for your first year of membership of IFPO Europe! (This offer is only applicable to participants of the full CPO preparation program).
Tussen de reviewdagen en de examentraining bieden we ook virtuele Q&A sessies om onze
