Certification Bucks New University Launches Unique Learning Opportunity for CPPs UK-based Buckinghamshire New University is now offering a Certificate in Security Management. This certificate, which will be set at postgraduate level, will allow existing and newly qualified CPPs to earn the qualification by completing a 20-week academic program via distance learning. There will also be an opportunity to use the certificate as accredited learning in place of one Module on the University's Masters Degree in Business Continuity, Security and Emergency Management. This means that with an additional twelve months' study, CPPs will have the potential hold a full Master's degree. The program will provide knowledge and concepts, together with structured assessment tasks and students will be encouraged to identify the relevance of the content to their own working environment. There will be emphasis on applying the various principles, theories, and practices to the student's individual business, work role and employment requirement or aspirations. Students will be able to access support mechanisms and module tutors through email, telephone, the 'Blackboard' virtual learning environment and, if they wish, face-to-face. Students will also have access to the full range of journals, standards, and library resources, as with all students at Bucks, and the program will be supported by electronic documents and other resources and workbooks. This initiative has been designed to meet the needs of security professionals who have committed themselves to earning CPP certification and now want to go forward and enter full academic study. The Bucks program recognizes that pre-qualification for CPP demands a level of experience and academic ability and also that many of those practitioners who are certified aspire to move forward and further enhance their professional and career potential.
