Our courses help build a foundation of knowledge that is increasingly required by the courts. The National Academy of Sciences in their report to Congress on the state of forensics in the United States recommended that all laboratories, agencies or units providing forensic services should be accredited and all individual examiners should be certified. As the exclusive training partner of the International Association for Identification, all courses offered by Ron Smith and Associates, Inc. have been approved for both certification and re-certification purposes. The SWGFAST Guidelines for "training to competency" also require a comprehensive program that we can help with.

Lower costs through hosting may allow you to bring a series of courses to your area over a period of time rather than having fewer personnel trained more randomly. You save dollars and your agency gets properly trained examiners, working cases more efficiently and effectively as well as testifying more confidently.
