This engaging five-day program is specifically designed for individuals who have a genuine interest or involvement in port security. It provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the key requirements outlined in the Code. Through a combination of case studies, lectures, and collaborative exercises, the course guides attendees through the necessary steps to achieve compliance. Although the course draws from the Port Facility Security Officer's Course, it is tailored to an international audience.
