After enrolling in the course, learners can immediately start their initial online self-paced proficiency training and, after completion, schedule instructor-led mock collections and scenario training via Zoom.

Our instructor-led mock collections and scenario training via Zoom provides learners with the qualifications and training to perform buccal swab collections, overcome the most common issues regarding collection samples, and send collected samples to DNA testing laboratories for confirmation testing following chain of custody procedures and protocols.
