The Facial Examination Training (F.I.T. 202) curriculum is designed to enhance the skill set of analysts and is the most comprehensive course offered by the FaCE. This 40-hour course equips examiners with essential strategies and techniques for conducting facial comparisons.
With a low student-to-instructor ratio (12:1), participants benefit from extensive comparison exercises, real-time instructor feedback, and collaborative class reviews. It is an ideal course for professionals in federal, state, local, commercial, or international organizations involved in facial recognition or facial comparisons.
Key system-agnostic topics include (but are not limited to):
- History of facial comparison
- The current state of the Facial Identification field, including standards and guidelines
- Facial anatomy, morphology, and the stability of facial features (with detailed analysis of each feature)
- Step-by-step comparisons using ACE-V and morphological analysis methodologies
- Recognizing and managing challenges and bias in Facial Identification
- Practical tips and techniques to assist examiners during comparisons
Throughout the course, students will apply learned concepts to one-to-one comparisons, with a focus on effective documentation—critical for decision-making, quality assurance, and reporting. The course also includes opportunities to perform one-to-many (1:N) comparisons.
Image sets span a wide demographic range, including variations in ancestry, age, health, weight, and more, ensuring exposure to realistic and diverse scenarios.
