Ensuring that Incident Commanders/Managers and field search resources are well-trained is crucial to the success of any search operation. It's important that these roles are not taken on by those who are unprepared or inadequately equipped. With this in mind, the National Center for Virtual Search is dedicated to offering top-notch, professional training, utilizing the latest methods and taught by field experts.

Our courses are hosted on a campus currently under development for the center. Additionally, to cater to diverse needs, we offer the services of traveling instructors when required. We can also set up customized courses for local jurisdictions as the need emerges. Regardless of the location, our primary aim is to deliver exceptional value to our students.

All of our courses are designed by seasoned professionals with decades of field experience and expertise in their respective areas. The delivery of our courses is a blend of dynamic in-class experiences and online learning through our web-based platform, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and accessibility for our users.
