Forensic Foundations provide end-to-end proficiency testing to simulate real laboratory work

Forensic Foundations provides end-to-end forensic proficiency tests encompassing all parts of real casework, rather than the traditional analytical stage only. This means we try to remove as much bias as possible, while making the test as interesting and realistic as possible to ensure total proficiency of the work being done.

We are proud to be able to supply this new method of proficiency testing as we feel it’s what many of you are looking for.
