Trainings

FSR, TSR & PSR training courses 

TAPA EMEA provides training courses to help members and non-member companies implementing the Association’s Security Standards. 

Training courses are available for:

• Facility Security Requirements (FSR)
• Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) 
• Parking Security Requirements (PSR)

Important training information

• TAPA Training is required for all staff integrating the 2023 versions of TAPA’s FSR or TSR Standards into their jobs. This applies to new company joiners as well as employees who have already been trained in the previous versions of the TAPA Standards. Only after completing a TAPA training, and passing the relevant examination, are trainees qualified to support audits for the current versions of the TAPA Standards.
• There are no refresher training courses available for the current FSR and TSR Standards, so participation in a 2023 Standard training course is mandatory for anyone whose previous training has expired.
• TAPA EMEA members receive the training free of charge by using a voucher.

Online training courses

To make TAPA EMEA’s training courses as accessible and flexible as possible, and to help accelerate the number of companies seeking TAPA Security Standards’ certifications, for that reason the Association offers online training courses for its Facility Security Requirements (FSR), Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) and in Q4 Parking Security Requirements (PSR).

Train at your own pace

These online training courses allow participants to train at their own pace and to accommodate their training around the demands of their jobs. Simply register for your chosen training course and, once the approval process is completed, you will be assigned your place on the course. You have a three-month period for each Standard to complete the training. Due to limited participant licenses, please register only if the training can be completed within these three months.

Advanced training experience

TAPA EMEA has updated its training courses to new technologies by implementing avatar-based video solutions to offer an even advanced training experience for our trainees. This will offer the possibility to provide the training in several different languages in the future.

Training webinars

TAPA EMEA offers monthly webinars to assist in the training process and to answer questions raised by training participants. The workshops also present ‘case studies’ which will form part of the training material. To attend a training webinar, you will be automatically invited via our training tool approximately one week in advance, to not miss out on the webinar dates.

Questions and Answers

If you have any questions whilst working through the course, simply post them using the ‘Messages’ tab available in the training tool. TAPA EMEA’s Training Team will aim to provide answers during the monthly training webinars.

Exam

TAPA Security Standards’ training is module based. After completing the final module, each participant is asked to complete the course by taking an exam. You will automatically receive your training certificate if you pass. All the information you require to successfully pass the exam will be contained in the TAPA Standards and supporting materials, which you should have downloaded before starting your training. The exam is passed when the participant achieves a result of at least 80%. Please find more information in case of a failure in the section training fees and usage of vouchers.

Next Steps

To start your training, all you need to do is register for the course you wish to take from the list below. Training places are subject to final approval and payment (if required). Once your place is confirmed, you will receive a link to begin. 

*Please Note

After you apply to join a TAPA training course, several checks will be carried out, including your membership/non-membership entity status, and to see if any fees are required or any payments are outstanding. If any action is required, you will be asked to complete this before being assigned to your chosen training course. 

TAPA EMEA & IRU Driver Training

TAPA EMEA has partnered with the IRU Academy to develop an online e-learning course to help drivers minimise security risks throughout transport operations. The course raises awareness of the risks of cargo theft but also covers security risks, such as illegal immigration and smuggling. More information about the IRU Academy can be found here

TAPA EMEA is also able to provide individual and tailor-made driver training courses adapted to your specific needs. For further information, please contact TAPA EMEA

TAPA EMEA training fees and usage of vouchers

TAPA EMEA offers free Security Standards training to members as part of their annual membership for the Association’s Facility Security Requirements (FSR), Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) and Parking Security Requirements (PSR).   

The following training allocations are available to the registered representatives of TAPA EMEA member companies:

The main representative can distribute these vouchers to his employees. 1 voucher = 1 participant can attend each standard training once (One FSR training, one TSR training, and one PSR training in the current year). Once a participant started a training, this voucher can no longer be transferred to another employee.

Outside of these allocations, TAPA EMEA members can buy additional places on our online training courses at a cost of €200,00 per person, plus VAT (if applicable).

In case of an exam failure, the course has to be retaken and another voucher will be taken off your quota, or, respectively, an additional invoice of €200,00, plus VAT (if applicable) will be issued.

*Please Note

Changes and additions can only be made by the first representative in the member section of “My Tapa”. The first or main representative is the person who is responsible for the administrative processes concerning TAPA in the company. In general, the person who has e.g., the log-in information and determines which employees the available vouchers will be distributed to.
