You CAN Sponsor an NCIT
Sponsoring an offering of the National Certified Investigator/Inspector Training (NCIT) program is easy. If your agency (or a group of agencies) can guarantee 60 attendees for a Basic Program, or 30 attendees for a Specialized Program, that's all it takes. In fact, even if you don't have quite that many people to guarantee CLEAR staff can work with you to locate attendees from other places in order to make up the necessary number. The form for prospective hosts is online (http://www.clearhq.org/NCIT_Hosting_Form.htm).
