| FIV150 | Collegiate Technical Investigation Skills | Quick View Course Description
FIV150 – Collegiate Technical Investigation SkillsThose who investigate and process crime scenes perform a critical role in the criminal justice system as their findings are the underpinnings of criminal casework that determine verdicts of guilt or innocence. The Collegiate Technical Investigation Skills Program (CTISP) is a blended learning opportunity consisting of 272 hours of specialized forensic training. Participants learn sound, field-tested, current methodologies and technical skills rooted in science-based practices. This application-intensive program instructs participants how to effectively identify, document, collect and process evidence found at crime scenes as preparation for employment in the forensic industry. CTISP is delivered through a collegiate semester-based course offering schedule and consists of a mixture of eLearning courses, traditional classroom instruction and practical application. Participants have dual enrollment in the TEEX Texas Forensic Science Academy (TFSA) and Blinn College. Upon successful completion of this program, students receive 18 hours of collegiate credit through Blinn College and a Forensic Investigation & Evidence Management professional certificate through the TEEX Texas Forensic Science Academy. The course fees for CTISP total $5,480.00 This amount is paid directly to Blinn College by the student. The Federal Criminal History Background Check totaling $50.00 is a separate fee paid directly to TEEX by the student (unless the student makes arrangements for another provider to conduct the background check). This fee, regardless of result or admittance into CTISP, is non-refundable. Participants enrolling in this program musts be admitted to Blinn College as a student.
