Candidate Profile - Application Instructions - Application Form
The ICCT curriculum allows participants to review the interagency institutional coordination process among countries, plus international and domestic agencies (such as the military, law enforcement, civil and non-governmental organizations) with the purpose of maximizing any cooperation required to face any security and defense challenges in general and, especially, counterterrorism. This course is a critical learning experience with emphasis on the significance of collaboration between national ministries and agencies, and international cooperation to strengthen any existing efforts to prevent, fight and eliminate terrorism.
Guest speakers, international professors, experts and students will be available with their experience to supplement presentations, seminar and hands-on exercises. The course will review, from a policy and strategy standpoint, any topics related to decision-making and implementation of counterterrorism actions, the organizational and planning culture, and any information sharing together with the alignment of available resources and operations in terms of security. The program is designed for civilian public servants working at a middle-management level within the military, law enforcement and civil agencies. The course is also designed for staff from international and non-governmental organizations that may have any duties and responsibilities in terms of terrorism and security issues (university professors, graduate students, journalists, etc.). Military and police officers, comprising approximately 25% of each course, are also selected to attend the course. All candidates must be professionally engaged in defense or security issues in their countries, hold a university degree or equivalent practical experience.
The ICCT is held once a year and is only offered in Spanish. Candidates for whom Spanish is not their native language will be interviewed telephonically prior to final selection. Military candidates must submit applications through the US Military representatives in their country (US Military Group).
