The Computer Industry Association of SA Incorporated is an independent association, funded and run equally by a cross section of the computer industry, including retailers, wholesalers, training and technical organisations.
The association was originally formed to protect both the buying public and association members from unscrupulous business practices being employed by some within the computer industry.
The CIASA is now a recognised body, working with government and trade bodies to introduce standards and certifications within our industry. Being a member of the association means being committed to the ideals of the association and development of a more professional approach.
# Members Display their Certification on their premises and documentation

The association is working to develop standards and procedures to guide its members as they run their businesses.
We have done considerable work on workshops and the technical standards and practices employed within them.
CIASA member workshops can now receive accreditation when they meet a set of standards that accommodates the typical range of member workshops. The public will be able to recognise this achievement by the display of a large accredited workshop poster/window label.
A CIASA workshop certification will be a customer�s assurance that the personnel employed within the workshop are formally qualified and have genuine technical expertise and experience..
