In order to receive a certificate of completion, participants must complete mock child forensic interviews with actors and pass a test following the conclusion of the Clinic.

The APSAC Child Forensic Interview Clinic is intended as an initial training for professionals whose job responsibilities include conducting in-depth forensic investigative interviews of children who may have experienced or witnessed maltreatment, exploitation, neglect or other crimes. These interviews are conducted as part of a multidisciplinary team investigative process in affiliation with a Child Advocacy Center (CAC), police agency, or government-sponsored child protection agency. This clinic has been approved by the National Children’s Alliance (NCA).

Scholarship funds are available for law enforcement officers interested in attending the clinics.
