SIAK is responsible for training the 33.000 employees of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and its subordinated Directorates and Offices.
The Central Coordination Office of the Central European Police Academy (CEPA) and the Secretariat-General of the Association of European Police Colleges (AEPC) are located in SIAK; the activities of both institutions are guided and coordinated by SIAK.
SIAK provides this training with the University of Applied Sciences in Wiener Neustadt as a bachelor-course "Police Leadership".
The basic SIAK training for administrative staff is set up in modules in correspondence with the requirements of the individual post of the various service levels (A1/v1 – A4/v2).
Staff in the Function Group A1 (officials) or the Function Group v1 (employees in civil service on a contractual basis) follow an academic career, whereas staff in the A2/v2 grades can enter this career path with a Higher School Diploma (A-Level Diploma).
SIAK has ten Training Centres (German abbreviation: BZS) for police officers in Austria.
