BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF OFFENDERS WHO COMMIT VIOLENCE IN WORK AND SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS: PREDICTION AND INTERVENTION (Webinar On Demand)
This three-day training is designed to enhance the knowledge, techniques and skills of those already certified as forensic mental health evaluators (CFMHE). This intensive three-day training was conducted by retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Gregory M. Vecchi, who was the Unit Chief of the legendary FBI Behavioral Science Unit and hostage/crisis negotiator. The "on demand" webinar entails viewing video footage of the live webinar event that was originally conducted in June 2016.
After completing the webinar, attendees must pass a 10-question post-test with a score of 80% or higher in order to receive CEU credit.

If you are not a CFMHE but want to become a CFBA, you will need to obtain your CFMHE credential first.
