What a few students had to say about the course.

If you are looking to get into forensics or are thinking of a career change you have definitely found the right program. Thanks to Darren, Tammy and their team I passed my final and have recently just passed the National ABMDI exam. I could have never done it without this program. Thank you!

Thank you Darren and everyone at DIT Academy for creating this training and giving people like me who want to enter the death investigation field, a way to do that without knowing someone in the business already. This training is beyond incredible! I have done a lot of research, reading, and training in my own before completing the course but I learned so much more and gained invaluable resources. Thank you again to the entire DITA Team!!

Great Course ! Very informative and well-constructed course. So glad I signed up and completed the course. Learned a tremendous amount.

Great course!! Darren and the rest of the staff were awesome, kind, and professional. I would recommend this course for those that want to begin a career in death investigation.

As an MDI in Indiana, I look for course to help keep me refresh my skills and learn new insights. This course was ideal. Each segment had great information and was well presented. Thank you!

Thank you for a class that was comprehensive and provided real-world examples of the principles taught.

This is a great introduction to death investigation! I have been an emergency nurse for 23 years and I cannot tell you how much this program taught me ! So many concepts should be taught to ER nurses, Medics, and anyone caring for victims of crime ! I will recommend this program to my forensic nursing professors and students !
