Online Forensic Interview Training Course

            Introduction

Child maltreatment is both a public safety concern and in many cases a criminal matter. Effectively questioning a child suspected of being maltreated is perhaps the most critical task facing a first responder during the initial response. Providing proper interview instructions, using effective question typology, documenting chain of custody and source monitoring, safety planning. These are all competencies that you must know before you interview a child witness.

Course Description

The 40 hours of evidence-based training webinars are designed to teach the basic entry-level core knowledge competencies associated with an effective child forensic interview. The course covers 40 hours of online knowledge competency instruction. The empirical evidence from two practice job analyses was used in the construct of this curriculum. The course covers the core knowledge competencies, tasks, and functions identified as critical to effective practice. All course participants are required to complete an end-of-course exam. This exam is simply to measure how much of the course content was retained by the participant, it is not a pass or fail exam, it is used to measure the reliability, consistency, and validity of our credentialing examination. This course qualifies the applicant to apply for the Registered Child Forensic Interviewer (RCFI) credential at no cost.

Online Course Testimonial

Good afternoon,

I have completed the final exam. Of all the training I have had through the years while in law enforcement and child welfare, THIS is by far the best training I have ever had. I think it should be the benchmark for all FI training.

Thank you,
