Recognition and certification

In 2021, the International Anti Crime Academy submitted the 'Interrogation, Interview Techniques and Body Language (VIB)' to the Centre for Post-Initial Education (CPION) for assessment. This organization serves as the official point of contact for educational institutions wishing to have their post-initial courses registered as accredited registered courses. The CPION is responsible for ensuring the quality of, among others, the Foundation for Continuing Education Netherlands (SPEN). Only courses that meet strict quality criteria are eligible for the 'registered course' designation and are also included in the Dutch Course Database.

A requirement for registration with the SPEN is that the course material offered—in this case, the Interrogation, Interview Techniques and Body Language® course—meets the expectations of a registered program in terms of level, depth, topicality and relevance to the job market, as assessed by the expert Advisory Committee affiliated with the institute. When assessing a registered program, various elements such as content, duration, number of teaching hours, study load, practical assignments, exam assignments and so on are reviewed and monitored by this Advisory Committee.

The above procedure has resulted in the International Anti Crime Academy being the only party authorized to issue a registered and recognized diploma for the training:

  • Interrogation, Interview Techniques and Body Language®

To ensure the quality and relevance of this training for the labor market, the International Anti Crime Academy has also set up an external HUMINT Advisory Committee, consisting of members active in the sectors of Investigation (semi-governmental), Intelligence (governmental), and Civil investigation, surveillance and detection (non-governmental).

The Advisory Committee monitors and advises on the alignment of the Interrogation, Interview Techniques and Body Language® training with practical application in the aforementioned sectors of the labor market.
