July 28, 2026
Advanced Title IX Investigation Certification is an intensive training designed for investigators, coordinators, and compliance professionals who are ready to move beyond foundational concepts and build the specialized skills required for impartial, trauma informed investigative practice. This course blends legal rigor with human centered methodology to ensure investigations are fair, defensible, and procedurally sound.
Through live instruction, structured exercises, and interactive simulations, participants learn how to manage complex cases, gather and evaluate evidence, and produce clear investigative reports that withstand both institutional review and external scrutiny. The course reinforces the investigator’s dual responsibility: to remain a neutral fact finder while upholding the integrity of the investigative process from intake to conclusion.
The cost of this certification is $395 per participant and includes live sessions, investigative labs, peer review exercises, and access to post event materials. Institutions enrolling groups of ten or more may qualify for a reduced flat rate.
