The Company Security Officer (CSO) course provides participants with the knowledge, understanding, and practical competencies required to perform the duties and responsibilities of a Company Security Officer in accordance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code). The program is designed to support maritime professionals effectively managing and overseeing ship security operations within a shipping company.

Throughout the course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of maritime security requirements and the procedures necessary to ensure compliance with international regulations. The training combines theoretical knowledge with practical learning methods, including case studies, scenario-based exercises, and visual demonstrations, enabling participants to apply security principles in real operational environments.

Key areas covered include the development, implementation, and maintenance of Ship Security Plans (SSPs), identification and assessment of security threats and vulnerabilities, and the monitoring and inspection of shipboard security measures. Participants will also learn about the operation, testing, and maintenance of security equipment and systems, as well as methods to enhance security awareness among both shipboard and shore-based personnel.

Competency will be evaluated through a final assessment at the end of the program.
