Reviews by the students (translated from Swedish)

I would recommend Study Group to anyone who wants to learn as much as possible from the CPP material, and not only consider CPP as a single test, but as a complete training in security. I have got a much better foundation of knowledge to stand on in my future career.
Kristiina Mellin CPP, Nordic Safety & Security Coordinator

CPP Studies is extensive. By participating in the CPP Study Group it’s easier to maintain the discipline to study. For me the goal was increased knowledge, not certification and by working together you will also get the”best practice” and a greater personal network. I can definitely recommend joining the Study Group.
Thomas de Neergaard CPP, Security Director

An efficient study method, which enables you to learn the vast material. Through homework, presentations och additional reading, learning facts, terminology and the language worked very well.
Hans Rosander CPP, Business Unit Manager

It’s easy to underestimate the extent of all literature that needs to be plowed through and what to be prioritized, taking the CPP certifications. Security Manager provides a well thought-out and smart disposition and it was absolutely necessary for me being pressed for time. I also met new study friends and mentors that made an inspiring personal network were an added bonus.
Lars Zetterström CPP, Loss Prevention & Security Manager

I have never participated d a course with such great variation and useful content. I have to give you credit for you way of directing the studies. After many years of studies, it’s not easy to sit down to read and comprehend this extensive information. I have to admit that it wasn’t easy reading in the beginning, but it became better and better.
Imran Bukhari CPP, Group Security Advisor

Without guidance during my preparations I wouldn’t reach my goal. The disposition of the Study Group was genius thought-out, everybody got to read the vital information in one way or another, gave a lot of repetition during the course.
Jonas Sandmark Eriksson CPP, Surveillance Supervisor

It gave the whip needed to follow the study pace, no one wants’ to be a burden for the rest of the group. The exchange of knowledge and experiences between the attendees was incredibly interesting and rewarding. The teacher led sessions was very good, especially the test exams that was done in the beginning and the end to see the development. I strongly recommend attending a Study Group before taking the CPP exam.
