After completing certain CSIA coursework, students are eligible to apply for one or more National Training Standard certifications specifically NSTISSI No. 4011 -- National Training Standard for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals; NSTISSI No. 4012 -- National Training Standard for Designated Approving Authority (DAA); and NSTISSI No. 4015 -- National Training Standard for System Certifiers.

These certifications are useful to some government employers and qualify SFS students who choose to work for some federal agencies for higher rates of pay. GW has been accredited to award these certifications and our SFS graduates receive them once they have completed the appropriate coursework and administratively applied for them.
