Hello colleagues,
I am exploring the ASIS PSP certification and want to ensure my professional background aligns with eligibility requirements before committing to the application and study process. Since ASIS only formally confirms eligibility after the application (with a non-refundable fee), I would value professional insight from those who have gone through this process.
Summary of my background:
- Military Service (Republic of Korea Army, 2 years 1 month): Served at the Korea Army Academy (3rd Military Academy), Drill Company 4 – an independent mountain warfare and special training unit. Duties included perimeter security, guard responsibilities, facility maintenance, and oversight of safety during training (mountain warfare and special operations).
- Private Security (Securitas Korea, 1 year 8 months): Security officer role covering patrols, CCTV monitoring, access control, and incident response.
- Industrial Facility (Sampyo Cement, 5 months): Involved in daily facility operations, logistics, and safety management at a cement facility (now closed).
- Access Control Support: Assisted with physical badge system management (issuance, revocation, access level management, troubleshooting with security team).
- IT System Administration (Microsoft 365): Managed user accounts, access, and support requests.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Cosmetic Engineering (4-year program).
My question: For those familiar with the PSP application review, how likely is it that this mix of military, private security, industrial facility, and IT/access control support would meet the eligibility criteria? In particular, has anyone seen military service (with perimeter security and training safety responsibilities) recognized as relevant experience?
I am based in South Korea and would appreciate examples or advice from international applicants or those with similar career paths.
Thank you for your guidance and professional perspective.
