ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual

Let your passion, knowledge and skills create an excellent career opportunity.

If you are serious about advancing in your field, get this book. 

Dear security professional. You already know your business. Chances are you’ve either been at it for many years. If so, you’ve had a great mentor and you are familiar with NISPOM requirements. 

If you qualify to take the exam, then you are practically an expert anyway.  Now all you have to do is prepare for the test and build your confidence. Our book helps you prepare for both your career and the ISP Certification Exam.

Keep reading for sample questions.

My name is Jeff Bennett and I am board certified to protect classified information. My signature is Jeffrey W. Bennett, ISP and I display it proudly. I teach the Industrial Security Management Course at University Of Alabama Huntsville and am the author of the “go to” book DoD Security Clearance and Contracts Guidebook. After 25 years in the Army and industrial security business, you can say that “I’ve been there and done that”.

Follow our blog: http://www.dodsecurity.blogspot.com/

If you’ve put off the exam, why wait any longer. If you’ve avoided studying, You are not alone. Now you have a reason to re-start.

It’s true…I believe that if you meet the minimum skills and experience required to take the exam are already prepared intellectually. You just need the extra confidence building boost given through practice sessions.

Using this book to augment your ISP exam preparation will also help you prepare for the exam.

In fact, this book is the only one available for the ISP Certification and offers 440 practice questions. It teaches insightful study tips designed to show you how to:

  • form study groups
  • network
  • seek out opportunities at work
  • learn your way around the NISPOM
  • and all with four exam length practice tests.

“As most others I am a seasoned FSO. However, based on research I did, once I decided to take the ISP Exam I quickly learned to not take it cold. I got my workbook from NCMS and researched what other tools are out there to better help prepare me for the exam. I quickly discovered Mr. Bennett’s ISP certification manual and after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews I knew this would be well worth the money!”

 

It’s true, those who have bought our books and used our techniques to augment their preparation have performed very well. See our testimonials page for their stories.

“After receiving this book, I quickly skimmed through it prior to sitting down for a close study. My initial reaction was to wonder just how much information I could learn based on the fact that most of the book was dedicated to practice tests. When I finally took the time to sit down and read it, I was surprised at just how much information it contains. The book tells you how to prepare, to include learning all security disciplines, how to manage your time, and how to study the NISPOM. The practice tests are a great opportunity to time yourself, and help to identify areas of weakness. I truly recommend this book for anyone considering the ISP Certification… it is a great tool to have!”

Some believe they can just pass the exam with a little group study. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Many security professionals focus on one area of the NISPOM. Unfortunately for them, the ISP Certification Exam tests on the entire NISPOM. It is important to study questions from the entire book. Though I recommend using study groups and other methods, they should only be used with the purpose of preparing for the exam. The best way to do that is with sample test questions.

Synopsis:

“I’ve ordered a few of your products, to include the ISP manual and flash cards.  I wanted you to know that I took the ISP exam this morning and passed!  Your products were very helpful.”

What can be more important than protecting our Nation’s secrets? This study system offers easy to understand career advice and provides a study system designed to help industrial security professionals and Government security specialists understand the NISPOM and Presidential Executive Orders implementing the National Industrial Security Program. Industrial security professionals serving in the government, private or DoD Contractor industry can benefit from the study. Situations and questions throughout the book are designed to help improve your understanding of the NISPOM. In fact, many Facility Security Officers and industrial security professionals face similar situations as they help to safeguard our nation’s secrets.

This is the only product of its kind providing four practice tests, practical advice for security professionals and improved fundamental NISPOM knowledge. ISP Certification-The Industrial Security Professional Exam Manual will both help prepare you for the test and provide career enhancing training to best meet the needs of our government security specialists and industrial security professionals.

Why do you need this book?

The following most recent security job postings tell the story: “Must have CPP or ISP certification” and “Certification as a CPP or ISP preferred.

“Right on target! Jeffrey Bennett’s exam manual is the perfect supplement to the NISPOM for anyone preparing to take the Industrial Security Professional certification exam. The approach is clear and easy to use. It’s definitely worth the price and more.”–William H. Henderson, author, Security Clearance Manual.
 

Are you prepared for the next step in your career?

Our study method can help with two main problem areas:

Time Limit: One of the ongoing lessons learned involved many not completing the test before it timed out. Fortunately, our practice tests provide a great opportunity to study and become familiar with the NISPOM.

Knowledge Base: A great example concerns one of the most challenging portions for many; Chapter 8. No one can know the entire NISPOM cover to cover. However, rehearsal with the NISPOM will increase your chances of passing the exam, no matter what your strengths and weaknesses.

If you make the investment in ISP Certification – The Industrial Security ProfessionalExam Manual or How to Prepare for and Pass the Industrial Security Professional Certification Exam by Jeffrey W. Bennett, ISP and you think the test questions are the same, you are out of luck. But test taking is a lot like sports; his book was a great practice tool for the“game conditions” (especially the fact that two hours goes by extremely fast). Pete Short ISP, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, Broomfield, CO.

Practice tests may also be helpful to those taking the SPeD certification.

This is an incredible resource for ISP Certification and any other security training.

Keep Scrolling Down, we’ve added eBooks and Flashcards

 So, are you ready to jump start your ISP Certification preparation?

Just to reemphasize, you know the business of implementing and overseeing a security program for protecting classified material. All we want to do is give you a concentrated study method to help you prepare for the exam. You concentrate on your career, while we design your study plan.

Why should you earn your NCMS ISP certification?

  • Certification identified in Executive Order 13434, National Security Professional Development
  • Certifications can help increase earnings 60% (ASIS Study)
  • The industry values certification
  • ISP Study Book—Great value
  • More than 400 questions with answers (Four Tests)
  • Practical advice for security professionals

Perhaps you feel that the certification is not for you.

Did you know the Department of Defense is recognizing certification and also requiring its employees to take on similar certification? Defense contractors are requiring certification for new hires in Human Resources, program management, accounting, and other business units for years. Now, they are looking for leaders in industrial security have board certification.

Perhaps you feel $49.95 is too much for a study guide.

Compared to other certifications and business standards, our price is just about right. Similar ISP certification study guides and programs cost the same, but none offer the volume of questions. This is an investment that can help you get certified and possibly command a larger salary. You may be able to earn this investment back many times over.

“Excellent book for security professionals looking to enhance their Industrial Security Skills and Knowledge. The ISP Certification Exam Manual is also a must for ISP exam applicants.”–Gregory Kucharewski, Security Manager
