We are dedicated to providing fire investigators, law enforcement, and attorneys with quality continuing eduction opportunities. Our instructors are committed to creating an engaging and interactive learning environment; one that challenges the students to improve and has real-world relevance. Students should leave the course with more tools in their toolbox and the confidence to apply what they have learned.

Just like medical professionals, investigators are held to a standard of care that is acceptable within their industry. Fire investigators are expected to perform their duties at a level that would be reasonable for forensic science practitioners under similar circumstances. Although the documents themselves are not standards, an overarching standard of care is established through NFPA 1033, NFPA 921, and other peer-reviewed treatises. Agencies and investigators who fail to meet the standard of care open themselves up to liability, reduce trust in forensic science and the judicial system, and can negatively impact the victims of fire. Our training services will ensure your staff meets or exceeds the standard of care.

In addition to stand-alone courses, we offer on-going professional development programs that identify knowledge or skills gaps and target those areas for improvement. If you don't see a course below that suits your needs, please contact us to request a specific topic.
