As an employer, you want to know that your new hires have the right educational background to excel. CIPS accreditation provides that assurance. When CIPS program evaluators review educational programs, they make certain the program meets quality standards that provide the students with an appropriate educational experience.

CIPS accreditation:

• Ensures that graduates have met the educational requirements necessary to enter the profession
• Provides opportunities for the industry to guide the educational process to reflect current and future needs
• Enhances the mobility of professionals

In addition, CIPS accreditation is used by the CIPS Certification Council to screen applicants. This provides additional assurance that our public safety and well-being is in knowledgeable, professional hands.

Hire Graduates of CIPS-Accredited Programs

When you advertise for new hires, include "graduation from an CIPS -accredited program" as one of your requirements.
