PHYSICAL SECURITY ENGINEER- ING TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION ( PSET & C ) PROGRAM

HSDS is part of the Physical Security Engineer Training and Certification [ PSET & C ] program [ 4 ], which consists of three parts ; academic studies , published materials and public speaking .

The PSET & C differs from other designation programs because it recognizes previous training conducted by another accredited agency ( college / university , government agency [ DHS / DOD / DSS / FEMA / OPM / USACE ] or corporate program ) and allows for the training to be accepted ; instead of the normal practice of buying the issuing agency ’ s study materials , signing up for their group study program and paying for their test to get their credential .
