BPA TRAINING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF FORENSIC SCIENTISTS

Students working together to interpret a simulated crime scene

We really love seeing how students connect with BPA and how quickly they assimilate their new knowledge and put it into practice.


Our recent experiences teaching BPA at Cranfield University and Kingston University were no exception.


The students developed skills in: 

  • Applying objective criteria in pattern recognition

  • Evidence interpretation

  • Critical thinking


    ... and the teamwork was off the charts!





Our University BPA Training Approach

We are proud of the partnerships that we have built with various universities to deliver certified BPA training that enhances the existing curriculum.


Our approach is simple but effective.


Starting with a foundation lecture (2-3 hours), either online or in person, we build an understanding of core concepts in BPA. For institutions with suitable facilities, we supplement this with practical sessions exploring blood dynamics in detail.


It is a privilege for us to watch confidence grow as students consider multiple pattern possibilities and back their conclusions with evidence. Each session becomes part of their professional development journey, and we can provide a Certificate of Attendance for them to add to their CVs.
