Scope and Application 1.1 Background a) Starting January 1, 2008, Transport Canada Marine Security will have two (2) programs for training institutions: The existing Transport Canada Voluntary Program For Marine Security Course Acceptance which is a voluntary program that has been in place since 2003 and the new Recognition Program for Approved Ship Security Officer Training. The first program aims to ensure that officer level marine security training programs and courses offered by various providers meet the course content requirements as called for in the Marine Transportation Security Regulations (MTSR) and the International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code. Additional international requirements for Ship Security Officers (SSOs) to possess a certificate of proficiency along with corresponding amendments to the MTSR, which come into effect January 1, 2008, require the implementation of a new and separate program, the Recognition Program for Approved Ship Security Officer Training. b) All institutions that wish to be recognized in order for their SSO graduates to receive a certificate of proficiency would submit all information to the Recognition Program for Approved Ship Security Officer Training. Institutions that wish to voluntarily offer TC accepted courses for all other officer training would submit information to the Voluntary Program For Marine Security Course Acceptance.
