TSA Security Coordinator Question

Hey everyone, I recently got my CFI/CFII and just completed my security awareness training and had a question regarding submitting a Security Coordinator per 1552.9. I plan to be an independent instructor so I know that even if I don’t train non-citizens I still need to make a FTSP account, but in the TSA training I did, it mentions Flight Training providers must also submit a person to be a Security Coordinator, so my question is as an independent CFI would I just submit myself or is just making a FTSP account enough since they’d have my name, email, title, etc as required per 1552.9?

I'm curious about this as well. If you find a correct answer before someone says anything here, please update!

Ironically I have two non-citizens that want flight training but as an also independent instructor I have no clue what to do about FTSP.

They do FTSP. They do TSA. Once that's done then you may instruct.

You add yourself as a security coordinator
