The Credential Layer

A program that certifies itself.

PHS certification is built into the program at every level — certified trainers delivering certified content, every session producing a signed acknowledgment record, and a year-end Annual Program Summary that travels with the property's renewal documentation.

Trainer Certification

Who delivers the curriculum.

All sessions are facilitated by a PHS-certified trainer. Certification documentation is maintained on file and made available to the property and its insurance carrier on request.

  • Minimum five years of professional security management or hotel operations experience
  • Current certification in OSHA 10-Hour General Industry or equivalent
  • Current Adult CPR and AED certification
  • Completion of the PHS Trainer Certification Program
  • Demonstrated knowledge of hotel-specific liability environments and luxury service standards
  • Annual recertification required to maintain active trainer status

Per-Session Documentation

Every session leaves a record.

After every Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 session, PHS produces a formal training record formatted specifically for insurance carrier and risk-management review. The property retains the record on file and submits it as part of the year-end package.

  • Session date, duration, and topics covered
  • Attendance roster with department breakdown
  • Signed participant acknowledgment forms
  • Applicable OSHA standards addressed and claim categories mapped
  • Walkthrough findings (Pillar 2), incident-report workshop assessment (Pillar 3), or tabletop drill outcomes (Pillar 4) where applicable
  • Trainer certification reference and signature

Year-End Reporting

The document that changes the renewal conversation.

Following the four quarterly sessions, PHS prepares a comprehensive Annual Program Summary Report. The report is formatted specifically for insurance carrier and risk-management review and is designed to be submitted alongside the property's renewal documentation.

  • Property identification & program-year summary
  • Session completion record for all four pillars with dates and attendance totals
  • Topics covered per session with corresponding OSHA standards and claim categories addressed
  • Aggregate attendance by department for property-wide sessions
  • Hazard-identification findings & corrective actions taken (Pillar 2)
  • Incident-documentation quality assessment (Pillar 3 workshop)
  • Emergency drill summary & identified gap resolution (Pillar 4)
  • Year-over-year comparison if prior year data is available
  • Trainer certification records on file
  • Claims-to-curriculum mapping table where claims data has been shared
  • Program compliance statement signed by PHS and hotel representative

External Accreditation

A path to international ratification.

PHS is engineered, from the first slide of every session, to meet the standards of the bodies that govern continuing education, security, occupational safety, and quality management. Accreditation is the process of submitting that work for external review — and we are sequencing it deliberately.

Phase I · Foundation

Built to standard from inception

Curriculum design, instructional methodology, scoring rubrics, and learner record-keeping are written from day one to satisfy the documentation requirements of IACET, ISO 21001, and the major U.S. compliance frameworks.

Phase II · Application

Submitted, sequentially, for review

Following the first full property cohort, PHS will enter the IACET application process, followed by ASIS preferred CPE provider review, IAOSHE accreditation, and ISO 21001 certification — in that order.

Targeted bodies
IACETInternational Accreditors for Continuing Education & Training. The recognized U.S. standard for CEUs.
ASIS InternationalThe world's largest association of security professionals. Their Preferred CPE Provider program ratifies competency-aligned training.
IAOSHEInternational Association of Occupational Safety & Health Education. Recognizes integrated workplace-safety programs.
ISO 21001The ISO standard for Educational Organization Management Systems — the international benchmark for accredited training institutions.

PHS does not currently hold these accreditations. We name them because the curriculum is being built to their standards, and the application sequence is part of the published roadmap — not a marketing aspiration. We will publish the application status of each as it advances.
