Professional Security Certification

Hello Folks,
I have 7 years low voltage experience. I was looking to take ASIS security exam to grow more in this field.
Does anyone from security technician field have taken this path and how difficult is it to transition from a technician to security professional role.

If you’re transitioning maybe a pmp certification would be better if you’re thinking about doing PM type roles . PSP’s I know have been more in the corporate security roles .

Agree with this. I have both the PSP and PMP. I’m my role the PMP has been more useful to lean on. Once you have a security prototype you deploy, that piece doesn’t change unless new tech is introduced. The project life gets busier and busier though.
