we protect people since 1989
IAPPA certified Security Managers are the experts in protecting and securing people and assets. They are the interfaces between the employees and the customers and manage their security area through expertise, competence and absolute reliability - without compromise.
Become a Certified Security Manager
A large number of security
employees work as security managers because they have extensive
experience and knowledge. They literally grow into this area of
security without any special education or
training.
Even members of the police
or military, who end their active time, are often not
certified, what they can really do. Yet they often have
impressive careers and know exactly how to do their jobs. The
IAPPA certification program was designed for just these people.
With the IAPPA Certified Security Manager credential, they get
the recognition they deserve. However, our certificates are not
purchased gifts - previous work and experience must be fully
documented in writing. Hands-on experience is a key factor for
anyone who wants to earn the IAPPA Seal of
Quality.
This process is now
accessible worldwide to recognize your knowledge and experience
and prepare you for a successful career in security
management.

The requirements
The requirements for the Security Manager certification are transparent and only a few exceptions can be made. This is important to ensure the value of being certified by IAPPA.
• Former police or military personnel with training and practical experience in close protection
• Employees with security responsibilities in companies, security firms or comparable tasks with at least 3 years of professional experience.
If you cannot provide proof of meeting the requirements but fulfill the requirements for certification as a private bodyguard, you may still apply. However, please send an e-mail to our office in advance and let us know what experience you have. Our team will then check the information and decide whether you will be accepted into the program.
