PEAK Basic Examiner's Course

Date: September 1 - November 7, 2025
Location: Lakeland, FL

Our basic polygraph examiner course aims to prepare students to thrive not only as polygraph examiners, but as polygraph professionals. We use immersive learning, commonly used in learning a foreign language, to ensure our students do not just learn how to conduct a polygraph but understand the “whys” behind every aspect of the polygraph testing process. We teach using best practices based on scientific evidence and research. This allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, while enhancing their skills and understanding of the polygraph process. This approach provides students with valuable insights, hands on experience, and real-world perspectives for a deeper comprehension of polygraph methodology. Ultimately setting them up for success upon graduation. We have integrated role-playing, hands-on activities, scenario-based practicum, and mock examinations into our curriculum allowing our graduates to experience realistic field situations during our basic polygraph examiner course. To our knowledge, our students complete more practice examinations than any other polygraph training program.
