Transcription

1 EIA Certificate in Behavior Analysis and Investigative Interviewing (BAII) It takes 10,000 hrs to become an expert. This programme is designed to support professionals to structure their practice on that journey to mastery in a focused way as we see a new type of professional enter the marketplace in behavior analysis and investigative interviewing. Following the successful three years of our pilot programs we are pleased to open applications for the 2015/2016 program. It is a blended program using online support and resources with only 7 days of masterclasses in one block of study. This is designed to serve an international group as we are looking for a wide representation across organizational, business and professional sectors. The program will be centered in the UK though we expect the attendance element of the program to be widened in other global regions in the future. The goal of the BAII Certificate is to provide a six-module foundation that will include: Ø *Emotional Skills and Competencies Ø *Evaluating Truthfulness and Credibility Ø The Anatomy of the Face (FACS) Ø Attentiveness and Mindfulness Ø Psychophysiology Ø Investigative Interviewing and Conversation Management. These post-graduate level modules will be delivered in a blended, modular format using texts, workbooks and other media plus online resources and support so as to minimize travel, accommodation and time away from work and home. The program not only draws from wide professional and academic contexts, it also leads onto research and real world applications in the final year across a diverse spectrum to take this science into the many professional sectors that need it. *Those who have good passes in these specific modules, with any of our Paul Ekman International approved centers, will be given credit against those modules of the program. Inside Ø Overview of the MSc modules this unique program brings together the best of Dr Paul Ekman s pioneering research along with other leading scientists in the fields of emotion awareness and deception detection drawing from the traditional University disciplines of Psychology, Linguistics, Sociology, Criminology, Forensics and Communications. Ø Further details - on costs, entry requirements, approaches and the application process attached. *Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) recognises the EIA modules as appropriate qualifications to enable direct entry into the PG Diploma and MSc in Communication and Behavior Analysis. The innovative MSc is subject to validation at MMU for a June 2015 start to this Stage 1 and a January 2016 start to Stage 2.
