Host Responsibilities and Facility Requirements
Host Responsibilities
As a host organization for an ASIS Professional Development Program, your responsibilities include:
- Venue/facility for Training: It is the responsibility of the host organization to identify, secure, and pay the expenses for the training facility.
- Student Registration: The host organization is responsible for the marketing and promotion of the program to its target student population (Employees, customers, partners, etc.). The host organization, furthermore, will essentially register students and provide a final number of attendees to the designated ASIS International meeting manager 10 business days prior to the scheduled program.
- Additional Course Materials: Course workbooks must be purchased, and may be duplicated by the host, or by ASIS staff. The host is responsible for all expenses related to duplication. Some programs require purchase of the Protection of Assets Manual, in part or in whole. For Certification Review programs (CPP, PCI or PSP), the host organization is required to purchase a study guide for each student ($40/per). These are provided at a substantial discount.
- Travel for Trainers and Support Staff: The host organization is also responsible for all ASIS faculty and staff travel expenses. The host is also asked to identify hotel accommodations and make reservations for program staff, as identified in the final proposal. It is preferred that a master account be established for direct billing of room and tax charges. Corporate discounts should be applied wherever possible.
- Food and Beverage Coordination: Food and beverage for breaks is the sole responsibility of the host organization. Group/class lunches or dinners are optional and at the discretion of the host organization.
