Anti-Terrorism Credentials Program

(For those US Navy Personnel using Navy COOL funding) 


The Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (Navy COOL) program provides funding for enlisted personnel to obtain civilian/industry licenses and certifications related to their military ratings, jobs, designators, and occupations. Many licenses and certifications are widely-recognized in the civilian sector and oftentimes provide a distinct advantage when seeking employment opportunities. Navy COOL was developed in coordination with the Departments of Defense and Labor as part of the Navy's inventory of blended training solutions. For more information visit the official Navy COOL website at https://www.cool.navy.mil. 

ATAB, in conjunction with the Navy's Center for Security Forces, initially established criteria for US Navy Master at Arms personnel in grades E-5 to E-9 with at least four years experience in the field of terrorism detection, deterrence and/or response to apply for certification as a Certified Anti-terrorism Specialist (CAS) through the Navy COOL program. Today, ATAB and the Navy COOL program have expanded the certification programs to allow US Navy personnel in additional rating communities to participate. All candidates must meet the minimum qualifying requirements as determined by ATAB and the Navy COOL program. 

The Anti-terrorism Accreditation Board (ATAB) provides certifications to US Navy personnel under the Navy COOL program by assisting participants in acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and competencies required to understand and combat the threat of global terrorism. ATAB evaluates program applications based on individual qualifications acquired through education, training, and experience, and awards certifications to US Navy personnel who meet performance, proficiency, and passing standards as set by the International Society of Anti-terrorism Professionals and the ATAB Board of Directors. These certifications are voluntary, and US Navy personnel are evaluated against predetermined standards of knowledge, skills, and competencies associated with the war against terrorism. 

ATAB reviews and evaluates each application and determines the applicant's current level of knowledge, skills, and competencies. Assessments are not designed to evaluate mastery of any specific training program, class, course, or seminar, and ATAB is not the sole source of any education or training that is required for their certification programs. Rather, ATAB evaluates each application on its own merits against specific criteria. Upon favorable assessment, US Navy personnel receive program reference and training materials and begin the selected course of study. US Navy personnel successfully completing all requirements and achieving a score of 75% or higher on the final examination are awarded certification. ATAB reserves the right to waive certain eligibility and/or the final examination requirement under special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. 

ATAB acknowledges the continuing efforts of the Institute of Credentialing Excellence (ICE) and concurs with their defining principles for quality certification and assessment-based certificate programs.

------------------------- 

ATAB continues to develop training materials and certification programs designed for personnel to enhance current proficiency, as well as provide new, cutting-edge information. For example, we have recently developed a MS-PowerPoint presentation on "Transportation Security" that addresses seaport and maritime security, as well as air, rail and trucking. Additionally, ATAB developed a series on "Conducting Security Surveys and Audits", which covers the skills required to conduct and develop a comprehensive report for a security survey and risk assessment. We are also developing a program on "Confronting a Possible Terrorist". This program will provide you with the skills needed to recognize signs of deception while interviewing a subject, and how to recognize covert or disguised weapons. We thank you for your service to our country and look forward to having you join us. Welcome aboard.
