Mastering the "Comparison Phase" of the IAI Certification Exam

Fingerprint Classification and Comparison Class
Examiners who are preparing to take the Latent Print Certification exam are often more concerned about the comparison phase of the exam. Even though the exam is now 8 hours rather than 6.5 hours long, many still have a concern about running out of time and not completing the necessary 12 identifications. This class is being offered to help latent examiners overcome this fear.

In this 40-hour course, emphasis will be placed on recognizing valuable search clues when comparing latent finger and palm prints. Valuable tips will be offered to help improve time management skills during the exam. Numerous “timed” exercises, containing latent prints similar in difficulty to the IAI exam, will be administered and evaluated. Although this class mainly focuses on the comparison phase of the exam, information will also be provided to aid students in regards to the pattern recognition and written portions.
