PEAK Basic Training Courses
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.
We are excited to begin holding PEAK courses on the west coast!. Our first west coast course will be September 14 - November 20, 2026 and is directed by Chip Morgan.

Post Conviction Sex Offender Testing (PCSOT) Course
The Post-Conviction Sex Offender Testing (PCSOT) Course prepares students to successfully complete the End of Course Written Examination, approved and recognized by the APA. This examination is only required for those seeking to become PCSOT certified with the American Polygraph Association (APA). The course will consist of a minimum of 40 hours of specialized instruction approved by the APA. The course will review various types of PCSOT examinations, including Instant Offense, Instant Offense Investigative, Prior Allegation, Sexual History I, Sexual History II, Maintenance, and Monitoring Examinations. The course will also include a review of the containment approach, victimology, deviant behavior and treatment for sex offenses, the APA's model PCSOT policy, the APA's & ASTM's standards of practice pertaining to PCSOT testing, and proper test question construction for PCSOT testing.
Law enforcement examiners in particular benefit from this course because the specialized instruction covers a wide range of sex crimes. Whether law enforcement examiners conduct pre-employment, criminal, or internal affairs examinations, they will be prepared to properly interview and test this unique set of crimes. This course also prepares law enforcement examiners who are preparing for leadership positions in law enforcement where they might be required to supervise any or all of the following departments: polygraph, forensics, major crimes, sex crimes, field investigations, human resources and recruitment, or internal affairs programs and personnel.
The course also qualifies for continuing education credits (units) for those who are already PCSOT certified.
