CPP Certification Training

Think Beyond the Exam. Lead Beyond the Classroom.

The Certified Protection Professional (CPP®) exam is more than a test of security knowledge—it's a measure of your ability to think strategically, communicate with executive leadership, and apply security principles in a business environment.

My personalized coaching is designed to help you make that transition. Built around Cider Hill Consulting's proprietary CPP Workbook and 37 years of military and corporate security leadership experience, every session focuses on developing understanding rather than memorization. Together, we'll translate complex concepts into practical knowledge you can apply with confidence on the exam and throughout your career.

Why Cider Hill Consulting?

Most CPP preparation courses focus on what to study.

I focus on helping you understand why the correct answer is correct, developing the business-focused perspective and strategic thinking expected of today's security leaders.

My coaching bridges the gap between operational security experience and executive decision-making, preparing you not only for the CPP examination, but also for the leadership responsibilities the credential represents.
