Continuing Education Program

Though only mandatory if employed by a DoD component, the vast majority of National Center for Credibility Assessment (NCCA) graduates participate in the Federal Polygraph Continuing Education Certification Program. This program, established in 1996, requires every federal examiner to earn a minimum of 80 hours of continuing education credit every two years. This educational requirement can be met through attendance at NCCA sponsored or approved courses and seminars, or a selection from the 26 continuing education courses offered on campus at NCCA or at other locations.
