Credentials that hold up
in the field and in court.
Four paths.
One standard.
Each track is completed online at your own pace. Continuing education is required to maintain certification. Certifications don't expire because you paid a renewal fee. They expire because the field moves and competence requires upkeep.
What the certification includes.
When you complete an RTI certification track, you receive a framable certificate mailed to you, a unique certification number tied to your name and credential, and an expiration date that requires continuing education to renew.
The certification number means it is trackable and verifiable. The expiration date means it does not sit in a drawer and collect dust while the field moves on without you.

Certifications are tied to a continuing education requirement. RTI will provide renewal pathways as those programs develop. The expiration date is built into the credential by design.
Current certification tracks are built entirely from online coursework and we've had several agencies around the country use the program for new investigator onboarding. Contact RTI if your agency wants to discuss a hosted in-person training arrangement.
