Advanced training for polygraph instructors
The success of a polygraph examiner depends on his skills and ability to read the situation and analyze the person he faces. Therefore, in addition to mastering the technical aspects of a polygraph examination, it is highly important to enable the examiner to analyze the human factor. To deliver and maintain this knowledge takes an experienced instructor with excellent instructing skills. The Advanced training for polygraph instructors provides students with tools allowing them to train and teach new polygraph examiners. The students shall practice instructing methods, analyze real-life situations based on their own experience, learn how to deal with possible dilemmas, and get experienced in practical instructing.
Polygraph Lab Directors training
One of the major problems of a polygraph laboratory director is maintaining the reliability of results despite performing a successive multiple examination. It means that a polygraph lab director must at the same time follow an intense schedule, as well as maintain the lab's professional standards and guarantee the reliability of examinations results. The Polygraph Lab Directors training deals with this as well as other polygraph lab director's professional dilemmas. In addition, the students shall learn how to properly supervise a polygraph lab, how to conduct an internship under the APA and Israeli Polygraph Association regulations; learn what is meant by quality control; and learn about many other subjects from the highly experienced lecturers who are former Israeli intelligent services and privately-owned polygraph lab directors.
