Mixed issue screening is quietly costing your program clarity, defensibility, and qualified candidates. You will learn how to move from omnibus batteries to single issue SIST, a three stage successive hurdles model, and risk banded reporting you can actually stand behind with your QA team and adjudicators.

If your screening work still leans on 4-6 topic DLST batteries and binary "pass/fail" calls, this webinar was built with you in mind. We will walk through base rate math, salience effects, DLST vs. SIST, and a practical three stage framework that cuts avoidable false positives, protects truthful candidates, and strengthens your programs legal and policy footing.

At the end of this webinar, you will have a field ready roadmap to better screening: cleaner single issue structures, standardized Stage 1 protocols, structured Stage 2 clarification, targeted Stage 3 confirmatory testing, and risk banded reporting instead of vague omnibus calls.

Come ready to stress test your current model and leave with specific changes you can pilot in your own program on Monday.

This webinar will be offered twice this spring, be sure to sign up if you work in law enforcement pre-employment, PCSOT, government screening, or any high-stakes decision environment—this topic will matter to you.

PEAK Basic Examiner's Course

Date: September 14 - November 20, 2026
Location: Caldwell, ID

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 Lead Instructor, Chip Morgan.
