The 2011 CPP Training Seminar was completed in February 2011. Twenty-two candidates took part in this free training opportunity provided by our KC ASIS Chapter. Good luck to those taking the CPP Exam in 2011. Our next scheduled CPP training will be in the 1st Quarter of 2012.

Principles for Exam Preparation

There are a few principles about the exam that need to be stated, even if they appear obvious to some

  • The exam covers several different subject areas.
  • The percentage of questions in each subject area on the exam is as published by ASIS, e.g., 24.4% of the questions are on physical security.
  • All exam questions come from the books on the reference list.
  • There are no questions on the exam from other references.
  • Questions are taken from all reference books.
  • All questions are multiple choice.
  • There is no penalty for guessing, i.e., only the number of correct answers is tabulated.
  • There are no questions written with the intention of being "tricky."
  • All questions undergo a careful, systematic review by a team of CPPs for content, and by a professional testing service for compliance with international testing principles, before they are placed on an exam.
  • The exam is not graded on a "curve." Any and all applicants who achieve the passing score pass the exam. As a result, it is theoretically possible for everyone to pass the exam or for everyone to fail the exam. There are no predetermined percentages or numbers of candidates who will pass the exam.


    • ASIS administers the following certification programs:
