As an international powerhouse in security education, the IBSSA Online Academy is uniquely positioned to design and deliver training for both public and private sector organisations. We also collaborate with IBSSA-affiliated training centres globally, offering custom-designed programmes to meet specific operational needs.

To complement our online offerings, physical and practical training courses will be coordinated with IBSSA Headquarters and conducted twice a year at centrally selected locations. These events will provide participants with hands-on experience, led by top-tier instructors with real-world expertise.

The launch of this platform marks a new era for IBSSA as we aim to become Europe's largest online training platform dedicated to security and safety sciences.
