Annex - Guidelines on Training and Certification for Company Security Officers

  1 Every person designated as a Company security officer (CSO) should be able to demonstrate competence to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column 1 of the annex to this Circular.

  2 The level of knowledge of the subjects listed in column 2 of the annex should be sufficient to enable the person to act as the designated CSO.

  3 Persons who have satisfactorily completed an approved course based on IMO Model Course 3.20 on Company security officer, or who have attended a course based on the attached knowledge, understanding and proficiency (KUP), should be considered to have met the requirements for service as a CSO.

  4 As many of the training objectives in IMO Model Courses 3.19 and 3.20 are common to both CSO and SSO and further, that many of the KUPs in the competence tables are similarly common, SOLAS Contracting Governments should therefore take them into account when setting criteria for the re-training and assessment of those SSOs moving toward CSO qualifications.

  5 Those completing CSO training should provide documentary evidence to this effect to the relevant SOLAS Contracting Government, and to the satisfaction of that Government when requested to do so.
