RMP & FSC Training Schedule

Advanced Risk Management Process Training Program 

With growing recognition among the Federal security community that a “one-size-fits-all” approach is no longer acceptable, the ISC's Risk Management Process has come to serve as the standard for physical security within the federal government. Realizing the need to educate security personnel, the ISC RMP Training Program was formed. The ISC RMP is the first training program recognized and certified by the ISC to train federal security professionals in the ISC Risk Management Process. This is done through collaborative exercises and hands-on interactive instruction based on an Instructional Systems Design, a nationally recognized process.
