IALEIA Certification

Purpose

The purpose of the IALEIA Certification Program is to promote professionalism and high standards in analysis by establishing standards and testing and by certifying analysts. Certified analysts tend to be among the more experienced and educated analysts and frequently hold higher classifications in their respective organizations. Some agencies encourage IALEIA certification for analysts seeking promotion or employment. Many agencies financially support their analysts in becoming certified.

Law Enforcement Analytic Standards

Countries in which analysts have been certified include Canada, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
