IAI CERTIFICATIONS

The International Association for Identification’s
Certification Program

The International Association for Identification (IAI) has established a certification program in order to identify qualified practitioners working in the various disciplines of forensic science.  These certifications are not available to individuals with no experience or those working outside the field.  The following is an excerpt from the IAI’s Certification Manual: 

The need to identify qualified individuals who can provide essential professional forensic services has long been recognized. In response to this need and to promote ethical and professional practices among its participants, the IAI Certification Program was established to provide a program of certification in the profession of forensic identification, investigation, and scientific examination of physical evidence. In purpose, function and organization, the IAI Certification Boards are thus analogous to the certifying boards of other specialties and scientific fields.

The Certification Boards were established to set the standards and qualifications for those who practice specific disciplines within the forensic sciences; to establish voluntary certification testing of applicants who meet or exceed the training, educational, professional experience requirements set by the specific Certification Board; and to annually review, and if necessary, revise the standards and qualifications, as well as the specific Board’s provisions in the operations manual.

Each course offered by Tri-Tech Forensics has been presented to each of the certification boards applicable to the subject matter of the training.  As new courses are added to our course catalog, these new courses are also submitted to this review.  Upon review, courses meeting the requirements of the respective boards are approved for certification and/or re-certification training credit.  The courses listed on the following table have been approved for the number of hours reflected in the table.  Please refer to the certification manual at the following URL for training requirements of the various boards and further details.
