Component Certification Authorities


Component Certification Authorities (CCAs) are integral to the success of the Department of Defense (DoD) Security Cooperation Workforce Development Program (SCWDP). If you are a CCA, read on to learn more about your role and the tools available to you.



CCA Role Overview

CCAs help guide the standardization and implementation of the SC workforce development program on behalf of their component.
CCAs hold the following responsibilities as key partners in the Security Cooperation Workforce Development Program (SCWDP):

  • Provide SCWDP supervisors with access to the Security Cooperation Workforce Development Database (SCWD-D)
  • Coordinate quarterly SCWD-D data review
  • Identify SCW positions and key positions in DoD authoritative manpower systems
  • Prioritize training for Component Personnel


CCA Certification Administration Tools

SCWD-D

The Security Cooperation Workforce Development Database (SCWD-D) is the primary tool for DoD Components to keep SCW assignment information up to date. CCAs use the SCWD-D to add, delete and modify SCW billets/positions, area of concentration (AoC) and certification level along with adding/removing the SCW member in a specific SCW position or billet.
