Since 1989, the Certified Close Protection Agent (CCPA®) program of the International Association of Personal Protection Agents (IAPPA) has stood for the highest level of quality, professionalism, and global recognition in the field of personal protection.
The title Certified Close Protection Agent (CCPA®) is not a simple training certificate — it is a mark of excellence, awarded only to those who meet the demanding professional, physical, and ethical standards required by the IAPPA Certification Board.

The IAPPA continuously audits and verifies these standards to ensure that every certified agent embodies the core values of Courage, Loyalty, Respect & Honor in daily service.
