ACADEMY FOR SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIVE TRAINING BASIC POLYGRAPH COURSE
The Academy for Scientific Investigative Training will be returning to Gauteng, South Africa, from 8 April 2025 to 14 June 2025 to present an American Polygraph Association Accredited basic polygraph examiner training course with world renowned Nate Gordon.
The Academy for Scientific Investigative Training is a professional institution offering a comprehensive education in the art of the detection of deception. Studies of theory, history and psychophysiology are pursued through lecture and assigned reading. Theory is quickly put into practice as students receive hands on instruction with a variety of polygraph instrumentation, from the older mechanical instruments, to the most modern electronic and computerized instrumentation available. Students become thoroughly versed in all major techniques, including that of Reid, Backster, Utah, Matte, Marcy, Federal Zone, Peak of Tension, Concealed Information Test, Positive Control and the Academy’s “Integrated Zone of Comparison Technique,” and “Polygraph Verification Technique.”
Several methods of chart interpretation and numerical scoring, including the Academy’s own “Horizontal Scoring System,” are mastered by the students, in a modern classroom facility while they observe ongoing testing and participate in mock examinations. Experience in a variety of testing situations is provided, from criminal to business investigation, and pre-employment analysis. The Academy is the only school offering an education in the Morgan Interview Thematic Technique (MITT), a projective test that assists in assessing a person’s truthfulness as well as provides important information that can be used in post-test interviews.
The Academy’s educational concept is distinguished as one that aims for total involvement of the student, from theory, techniques and instrumentation, through direct student involvement and participation in the testing procedure. Eligible candidates enter the Academy for comprehensive study and ten weeks later graduate as professionally trained Forensic Psychophysiologists. Students leave the Academy with an operational expertise geared to his or her individual working style and environment.
