Certification

Do you have many years of experience in security, e.g. you were in the military or the police, but do not have the necessary certificates to prove your competence?

We offer you the right online certification for your professional success. Obtain one of our internationally recognized certificates now and give your career the right boost!

Why certification?

The IAPPA Certification program is closing this gap for people who really know their jobs, have hands-on experience and want that to be valued as such. For very low fees compared to extensive certification courses, it offers experienced professionals a valid trackable certificate.

Issued by a worldwide recognized institution, employers know that the person is a serious and field-proven professional. Without all the hassle and costs of the older ways.

How it works!

Any person who has been active in security, law enforcement or military and has gathered enough knowledge and experience in a specific area can find their corresponding certification according to the United International Security Associations table of standards.

Membership of the IAPPA is not necessary for certification! However, you will receive an offer to become an IAPPA member after certification.

STEP 1
Select the certificate you wish to apply for. 
Choose the certification that matches your demonstrable qualifications. 

STEP 2
Applications are reviewed by our Certification Committee. Background checks are carried out, some documents can be validated at the issuing institution or further information or documents can be requested

STEP 3
After a positive check by the board, you will receive a payment link, which you pay within 5 days. Note: If the payment has not been made by the end of this period, the application will be rejected and the applicant will be permanently blocked.  

STEP 4
After a positive examination by the Certification Committee, you will receive written notification of the result.  Your certificate will then be created and sent out. Each certificate has a unique number that clients or employers can request from us once it is valid.
