This interactive course combines lectures and demonstrations supplemented with homework assignments and a written examination at the end of the course. Participants also must conduct a 30-minute interview of a professional actor playing the role of a sexually abused child after which the interviewer is critiqued by a professional forensic interviewer and a group of fellow students. Completion of this training does not result in any recognized state professional “certification” to conduct forensic interviews. Requirements.

Anyone who misses a session, does not complete the practical exercises, or fails the examination will not be awarded a certificate of course completion. Tuition is $425.00 per person.
