Membership of ACIA provides Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for staff, in a cost effective fashion, and encourages them to take responsibility for their own development. It complements the significant investment made by employers in formal analytical training as ACIA helps fill the gap between attending courses and delivering competent products.
The association facilitates networking with other members across a diverse range of analytical backgrounds (government, law enforcement and private sector). This practitioner-to-practitioner connection is of significant benefit to employers as members share skills and experiences to help each other apply analytical practise to problems affecting communities and businesses across the UK and Ireland.

The association facilitates networking with other members across a diverse range of analytical backgrounds (government, law enforcement and private sector).
