What students say about Pinnacle Forensics training
The testimonials below are excerpts from student reviews. Full, unedited reviews are available on our Testimonials page.
“I’d recommend the 40-hour ‘Crime Scene Photography’ course for anyone looking for applicable techniques you can really use in the field to advance your crime scene photography skills in a professional, practical way.”
Megan Heichel
Montgomery County Coroner’s Office
“I learned so much about crime scene photography that I know I’ll actually use out in the field. I really appreciated that the class focused on practical, real world skills rather than just teaching interesting techniques that we may never actually use on the job.”
Kassy Chandler
Port Arthur Police Department
“This class was amazing. From the lectures, to the hands on experiments it covered everything! My training binder has not only been a constant resource for myself, but others at my lab who weren’t as lucky as I was to have taken this class.”
