Expert course

Expert course "How do I become a document expert?"

This course alone does not make you an expert. Because as an expert, you must first have sufficient expertise, which results from your education and training as well as your professional experience.

Therefore, this course is especially aimed at professionally experienced employees who are involved in identity verification on a daily basis. Examples include employees in the anti-fraud or money laundering departments of banks and insurance companies. If you see your professional future in the confident evaluation, analysis and verification of documents, this course will enable you to deepen your previous knowledge, apply it and apply it to more extensive, written assessments of documents. You will be able to write appraisals with the course content taught. You should also be prepared by your nature to be able to present expert opinions and appraisals orally.

The course is concluded with a written and oral examination. To find out whether this course is suitable for you, we recommend a personal meeting with one of our trainers in advance.
