Dear Friend,
After years of pleading and begging from our "handwriting analysis" students, we have assembled the country's only comprehensive A-Z forensic document examination training, apprenticeship, expert witness, and career building school.

An expert witness is often the key to winning or losing a case with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. Attorneys and victims of forgeries are lining up to pay. There is a shortage of qualified document examiners. Because of the ever-increasing demand, many in the industry charge $1,200 or more to evaluate a single document.
However, if you have ever attempted investigating how to become a forgery expert, you have found that training is very hard to come by.
There are hundreds of qualified document examiners in this country. But, when asked how they were trained... they all have different answers. The truth is - they all learned from some form of an apprenticeship which is not duplicatable. Most of the great mentors with whom they trained have either retired or are deceased.
Until now, you could not receive training in this area with any consistency, credibility, and which included business planning.
Up until this moment, there has never been a formal institutional A-Z training course in forensic document examination that combines an apprenticeship training program, a home study course, and a career building coaching program.
What we have created is amazing.
We have assembled 2 years of lectures, tele-classes, textbooks, marketing knowledge, and hands-on real case studies. It is truly a comprehensive program that turns your interest into a lucrative career helping people solve problems.
The results are simple to explain. During our 2-year program, you will learn how to spot even the most finely crafted forgery using the known samples and the questioned document.
This scientific process will set you apart in the courtroom and as a consultant to attorneys and clients nationwide. What's more, we will teach you how to market yourself as an expert to demand TOP DOLLAR for your skill. The program is comprehensive and you learn by solving real cases.
What this program is not:
This is not just a book that you read. (You will be assigned textbooks to read as part of the course.)
This is not a CD course where you just listen.
This is not a simple course where you mail in tests to an unknown test grader.
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme where you are promised easy money. You will have the ability and know-how to earn hundreds of dollars per hour with your new profession, and our staff will help to guide you toward that goal.

Our tele-classes
will by held by phone weekly with one of our trained faculty members.
"Classes are recorded, so that you can listen later to a missed
class". You can listen to the class via the Internet and make
up the material on your own time.
Each week, you will attend lectures via tele-class. You will also examine real-life forgery cases, make a determination on the authenticity, and discuss your findings. At the end of the program, you will have helped to solve over 60 cases.
Plus, once you are sufficiently trained in the basics, you can begin the apprenticeship program, where you will handle an "active client case" and work side-by-side with a faculty mentor to solve cases. You will not only gain experience in solving "live cases" to build your resume, but you will also be paid a percentage of the revenue while you learn.
How much money can you earn?
Like any school or training facility, we cannot make any guarantees on the income you will earn after graduation. We know, however, that there is ample demand for professionals in this field. Prices for document examining range from a few hundred dollars, to over a thousand for an expert opinion.
Recent advertised positions for full-time document examiners ranged from $66,000 to over $90,000 per year.
Curt Baggett, your lead instructor, is routinely paid $150-$300 per hour to examine and evaluate documents, and up to $1200 per day to appear in court as an expert witness.
Upon graduation, you will be an independent entreprenuer. Your annual income will depend on how many cases you examine. Our program also includes detailed marketing and business administration classes which will reveal easy-to-follow, successful models for marketing your skills, recruiting new clients, and managing your career.
What is an education worth?
A college degree from a private institution can cost upwards of $25,000 per year. However, students at many Liberal Arts colleges often have no marketable skills upon graduation.
When you graduate from our training program, you will have already worked (and been paid) as a professional Document Examiner. If you don't have real-case experience, you will NOT qualify to graduate!
I recently researched the option of getting my doctoral in neuro-psychology from Barron University here in Los Angeles. They have on-campus classes as well as a home study course element. I was surprised that their tuition just $12,000 for the two year program. Heck, that was cheaper than my freshman year at Pepperdine University.
I tell you this so you realize we are not offering you a textbook and a fill-in-the-blank home study test.
This is not a $700 home study course where you watch a few videos and read a book. This is an intensive 2-year program where you will walk away with a new skill that can bring unlimited potential income.
To help make the cost of the program manageable, all students accepted into our program will be offered a 2-year financing option. Remember, you will also earn money through the apprenticeship program during your training, which can help to offset the cost of tuition.
