Welcome to the International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) Education Center!

The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) is dedicated to providing meaningful and cost effective training for security and protection officers. We believe that education is a necessary and essential part of the professional security and protection officer's background. IFPO serves individuals, security companies, and organizations that have their own private security staff. Our students and members benefit from the recognition and standing that the prestigious IFPO certification conveys.

Our training programs are designed to work on their own or as part of an organization's existing curriculum. Frequently, institutions of higher learning will include our training programs in their courses of study.
