IAI Crime Scene Certification Preparation CCSI, CCSA & CSCSA

This 28-hour course is specifically designed with the goal of enabling students to pass whichever level of the crime scene certification level examination that they are preparing to become certified for in the near future. This is a concentrated and rapidly-moving review of either two or three books (depending on the examination that you are testing to pass). Each book review will have numerous pre-testing examinations composed of hundreds of extracted questions covering every chapter so that students attending will know their areas of strengths and weaknesses to focus on. Whether novice or experienced, this class is a must for maximizing the chances of successfully passing the examination to improve your credentials and professionalism by becoming certified in the crime scene specialty. Students who attend this course will have a distinct advantage over those who have not attended this dedicated and intensive review course when it comes to testing for IAI certification examinations. Please be aware that the tuition fee listed above covers only the Forensic Pieces course tuition. Examination and application fees are to be handled with the IAI. The International Association for Identification Crime Scene Certification Board will work with the hosting facility to facilitate a proctor to be present for the last day of class in order for the students to sit for the examination. If you plan to take the test after this course, you must have your application submitted to the IAI and approved at least 30 days prior to taking the exam and should be familiar with the application requirements that can be found at the following link: https://www.theiai.org/certifications.php.
