In cooperation with Counter Terrorism Certification Board (CTCB)

WHAT IS THE CITA CERTIFICATION SCHEME?

The Counter Terrorism Certification Board has established and maintains a voluntary and
comprehensive certification scheme — Certified Intelligence Analyst (CITA). The Counter Terrorism
Certification Board grants the CITA certification and maintains it as the recognized standard of
excellence for competent counter terrorism and intelligence.

WHY EARN THE CITA CREDENTIAL?

Intelligence Analysts use critical thinking, analytic techniques, and subject matter expertise to identify,
understand and evaluate threats, and to provide judgment and recommendations to decision makers
in a timely manner. They are familiar and involved in the entire intelligence cycle, from understanding
customers’ needs and requirements, through collection management, production and analysis, to
drafting and disseminating a wide range of intelligence products. They communicate effectively with
all stakeholders, have deep insight into the languages and cultures of specific regions, are proficient in
intelligence tools and techniques, and are aware of the legal and ethical frameworks within which
they operate. The program is meant for intelligence and security professionals. Earning a CITA
Credential demonstrates your competency in 5 main domains: Intelligence Process, Subject Matter
Expertise, Program Management and Communication, Technical, and Compliance.
