Is Transport Canada responsible for conducting training or for approving courses for security officers?
A. No, although the International Maritime Organization has developed model courses for security officers, Transport Canada is working with interested Canadian training institutes to establish courses that follow the guidelines provided in the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and is prepared to recognize training certificates issued by these educational institutions as meeting international standards for ISPS-related training.
