This course is your gateway to professional ship security management: you’ll learn to identify and assess real threats, design and tailor the Ship Security Plan (SSP) for different vessel types and voyages, implement practical access control and inspection procedures, and run realistic incident simulations that sharpen leadership and decision-making under pressure.
The syllabus follows guidance so the knowledge transfers directly to shipboard practice and company audits.
You will be able to:
- • Develop and maintain an operational Ship Security Plan (SSP);
- • Lead and coordinate a security team during heightened alert levels;
- • Carry out internal ISPS Code compliance checks and prepare corrective actions;
- • Instil a shipboard security culture and prepare crew for external certification audits.
Upon successful completion and passing the examinations trainees receive a Certificate of Ship Security Officer.
This certificate documents competency required for appointment as the ship’s designated security representative and is accepted as training evidence under frameworks; in many flag administrations it is the basis for issuing a formal Certificate of Proficiency or similar endorsements.
Course documentation and certificates are issued according to AVANT (TCS Avant) training standards.
