ASIS, European business school launch certification for security executives

by Brianna Crandall — February 10, 2016—ASIS International, the global membership organization for security management professionals that crosses industry sectors, and the respected Madrid-based IE Business School have collaborated on a new certificate program to provide security managers education in areas identified to be essential for current and future management positions.

The new program is built upon Effective Management for Security Professionals, the successful four-day executive education course established by ASIS and IE Business School in 2011. The new program launched in January 2016, and is intended to give security leaders the knowledge and skills required to make high-level decisions within the organization.

The ASIS / IE Executive Development Certificate will be awarded to ASIS members who complete four executive education courses within a two-year period. The four courses have been selected from a list of existing IE Business School programs for their suitability for security professionals seeking to develop their business skills.

Participants may choose four of the following five programs:

  • Leading Change and Innovation (4 days)
  • High Impact Leadership (3 days)
  • Communication Skills and Public Speaking Workshop (3 days)
  • Strategic Project Management (3 days)

ASIS members are entitled to an exclusive fee of €12.000. This price includes matriculation on all four selected programs, class materials, coffee and lunches throughout each program, and networking activities during each program.

Upon completion of all four programs, participants will become part of the IE Executive Alumni Community and will receive further benefits:

  • Receive publications from expert faculty, research updates and inspirational alumni stories through the alumni e-newsletter. Receive invitations to participate in Webinars and events.
  • Maintain contact with fellow participants and expand their personal network through the international community of IE Executive Education business professionals located in more than 100 countries.
  • Gain an exclusive 20% concession on all executive programs and preferential rates on Executive Education programs for their team.
