National Certified Investigator/Inspector Training (NCIT) – Specialized Program – March 2027

CLEAR's National Certified Investigator/Inspector Training (NCIT) – Specialized Program offers advanced certification in three individual subject areas for regulatory investigators and inspectors who have successfully completed the NCIT Basic Program and passed the final exam. Building on the foundational skills established in the Basic Program, the Specialized Program takes participants deeper into the craft of regulatory investigation through interactive, applied learning.

The three subject areas covered in this program are:

• Advanced Interviewing Skills
• Advanced Investigative Analysis
• Investigative Report Development

This program is delivered as an intensive three-day, in-person training that combines instructor-led sessions with practical exercises and real-world case applications. Each module is designed to promote interaction through the use of small groups, role-playing exercises, and case studies. The program culminates in an examination administered on Day Three by CLEAR staff.

Participants who successfully complete all three modules and pass the examination are eligible to receive NCIT Specialized digital badges in each subject area.

Registration and check-in will take place at the training venue on the morning of Day One. Full program information and a detailed schedule will be emailed to registered attendees prior to the program start date.

Successful completion of this program requires attending all three days in their entirety and passing the final examination on Day Three.
