We are pleased to introduce the Industrial Security Professional (ISP®) Certification Program Strategic Plan to the NCMS membership and ISP® Stakeholders. The NCMS Board of Directors is committed to the ISP® Program and have established the ISP® Strategic Plan as a tool to help guide Continuous Improvement within the Certification Program. The document is a baseline, public, living document and will be updated as goals and objectives change in order to sustain the Continuous Improvement endeavor.
Should there be any questions or feedback, please reach out to the ISP® Certification Committee Cochairs, Liz Fant and Tanya Matthews.
As part of NCMS’s ongoing commitment to continue to provide a premier certification program, the 61st Board of Directors (BOD) evaluated the ISP® Certification exam test time against the standards of other professional certification exams. On September 15, 2024 the BOD voted to extend the exam time from 2 hours to 2.5 hours effective with the release of the updated exam which is anticipated to occur Q2, 2025. We will provide an update when we have an exact implementation date. Until the extended time is implemented, the testing time remains at 2 hours. Should you have any questions, please contact the ISP® Certification Co-chairs.
