Port facility security officer training: list of approved training providers

Updated 26 January 2026

All UK ports must have a certified port facility security officer (PFSO). The PFSO is required to:

• implement security measures stated in the International Ship and Port Facility Code (ISPS Code)
• train other staff in general security awareness and to aid this we have produced various security materials which are available on request

Each facility must have a PFSO, although a single PFSO is allowed to be responsible for multiple facilities.
