Certified
Security Manager

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. 

What is special about the certification?

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.
