IAPPA CERTIFIED TRAININGS
Close Protection Agent - CPA
The IAPPA "Close Protection Agent" basic course was developed
in 1989 as one of the first standardized training courses for
bodyguards in the USA. The training quickly became an
international success and bodyguards all over the world have
completed this training.
The basic course serves as an introduction for emergency
personnel who have little or no experience in personal
protection. This training is also the right choice as a
refresher or for those returning to the field, as the course
covers all aspects of modern personal protection and is always
adapted to current events.

Certified Corporate Security Manager - CCSeM®
Corporate security has become a critical component of modern business operations. Beyond addressing criminal threats, it encompasses business continuity, crisis management, and emergency preparedness, all of which are essential for ensuring operational resilience. In an increasingly globalized world, the demands of travel security and the safeguarding of international corporate assets require continuous evaluation and adaptation to evolving risks.
Corporate security leaders are expected to demonstrate exceptional resilience, analytical thinking, decisiveness, and initiative. Equally vital is their ability to leverage extensive expertise, strategic knowledge, and leadership experience to implement effective security frameworks that protect assets, personnel, and operations across diverse environments.

IAPPA online Academy
At IAPPA, we
offer a range of courses at all security levels. We place great
emphasis on realistic and proven courses. These cover all
levels of the subject, from introductory to specialization
courses. The IAPPA Online Academy is an effective additional
offer for emergency services personnel who wish to receive
further training or certification in various security topics.
With our offer you often have the choice between a regular
course, which you complete and receive a certificate of
attendance at the end, or you want to be certified and receive
a printed certificate. Then you complete the course and have to
answer questions at the end of each chapter. Once you have
successfully completed everything, you will receive your
certificate at home.
Please
note: An online course never replaces on-site training, but
it's a good start!
