The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced upcoming course offerings for both the Initial Certified Investigator and the Certified Investigator (CI) Peer Review Courses. Registration is open on myODP.org. The courses posted cover July 2018 to December 2018.

The Initial Certification Couse is a four-day, face-to-face course that was created to ensure all incidents that require an investigation receive a systematic investigation that meets established standards. In order to perform investigations, the investigator must successfully complete all requirements under the ODP CI Training.

The Initial Certification Course consists of three parts:

1. a) Three online prerequisite modules
2. b) Four days of face-to-face training
3. c) Online exam

Once all activities are completed within the current standards, the participant will be certified for three years.

The Peer Review Course was created to support the Peer Review Process. The Peer Review Process is an ongoing evaluation process that is designed to provide information about the overall quality of incident investigations to an organization. The primary objective of the Peer Review Process is to ensure a continued quality improvement of investigatory practices. To support ODP stakeholders in the implementation of the Peer Review practices, ODP, along with Temple University, has created a Peer Review Course. The course is a 3½ hour, face-to-face training.
