BSCP™ Certification Benefits for Design Professionals

5 Good Reasons for Obtaining Certification as a Building Security Certified Professional

1. Obtain a recognized credential and evidence of expertise.
   This designation signals a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary understanding of building security. Your value to clients and employers increases with this specialized knowledge.
2. Provide authoritative guidance about security issues.
   Many clients need guidance about security. As a BSCP, you can provide authoritative advice because you view security from a whole building approach. A BSCP enables you to provide security as an integrated solution, rather than just piecemeal basis or as an add-on.
3. Develop security options based on client priorities.
   Most clients lack ROI measures for security measures. With a BSCP, you can offer clients sound advice about security options, thus targeting their priorities more effectively.
4. Enjoy greater ability to deliver integrated design services.
   Optimum security solutions begin at the design phase for new buildings and substantial renovations. A BSCP increases your ability to incorporate security measures when it counts most.
5. Offer clients a discount on PLUS^SM submissions.
   Clients gain $1000 discount when a BSCP participates in preparing a PLUS application.
