The FBI Virtual Academy is the portal to all FBI training opportunities offered to our external partners. FBI Virtual Academy ... registration is open to all personnel serving in any agency within the criminal justice or intelligence community – including state, local, tribal, and international law enforcement, forensic laboratories, and public safety organizations, among others. The FBI has unveiled the FBI Virtual Academy (FBIVA): a structured, efficient, electronically delivered system of learning that adds value to the forensic science, law enforcement, and judicial communities by providing a single, comprehensive learning solution that offers a web-based means of accessing and acquiring the essential knowledge, skills, and competencies (through relevant and consistent training and materials) needed to support the worldwide criminal justice community. To fulfill this mission, we have taken two important steps: 1.Established training partners to work together with us to standardize key curricula and ensure the development of educationally sound practices in developing both traditional classroom and interactive multimedia instruction and; 2.Purchased and customized a powerful but intuitive learning content management system for the Virtual Academy’s infrastructure. Training Partners Collaborations are valuable because they provide broader perspectives and help in the standardization of training. The training partners will work together under the guidance of the Technical Working Group for Educational Development (TWGED) to: •Develop standard curriculum guidelines for classroom and self-paced continuing professional development courses that will require: ◾defined, job-related instructional objectives ◾pre-assessments to identify current knowledge/competencies ◾content that supports the instructional objectives ◾post-assessments with defined pass/fail parameters https://fbiva.fbiacademy.edu/ read more
