THE INTERNATIONAL Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO), in partnership with leading training provider Nuology, has announced the launch of the Certified Professional Security Leader (CPSL) qualification.
Accredited at Level 5 by Highfield Qualifications, the CPSL qualification is the first programme of its kind in the UK to offer both a professional post-nominal designation (ie CPSL) and a rigorous academic credential focused solely on security leadership.
The CPSL qualification sets a new benchmark for professional learning in the security sector, blending strategic leadership knowledge with practical expertise. Graduates will stand out with the CPSL post-nominal, duly demonstrating their commitment to excellence and ongoing professional development.
Claire Humble MlntlSy RISC CPOI, CEO of Nuology, observed: “Nuology is thrilled to collaborate with IFPO in launching the CPSL qualification. This qualification bridges the gap between operational know-how and strategic leadership, helping security professionals to build the influence and vision needed for tomorrow’s challenges. Our partnership ensures that every learner not only achieves academic recognition, but also earns the professional status that opens doors across the industry.”
Mike Hurst CPP CPOI, director of IFPO UK and Ireland, added: “We are proud to see the CPSL qualification come to fruition. The security industry needs leaders who inspire trust and deliver real business value. This unique Level 5 programme, with Highfield accreditation and the respected CPSL designation, is a powerful new route for front line personnel to advance into senior roles. It reflects IFPO’s commitment to raising standards, supporting career growth and driving professionalism throughout the sector.”
Developed by subject matter experts and informed by leading security employers, the CPSL programme covers advanced topics in leadership, risk, compliance, security management and strategic decision-making. This innovative qualification offers flexible study options and is open for registration.
