The SIA Learning and Development Committee (formerly the Education and Training Committee) builds a qualified security workforce by identifying and creating learning, training and career development opportunities for security professionals. Its offerings include instructor-led training, online education, scholarship programs, educational conferences and forums and instructional materials and resources.

The Certification Committee ensures SIA certification programs adhere to the standards for the development and maintenance of sound and legally defensible certifications. The committee determines the policies and procedures under which certifications are administered and awarded.
