How do I find a testing location?

Testing Locations

The national certification exam must be given at a testing location that regularly offers proctored online exams. A good place to start is local Colleges, Universities, or libraries. Keep in mind that not every library offers this type of service.

Once the student has located the testing site and has scheduled their testing date and time, they will notify the testing organizer at our Academy at no less than two weeks from the testing date.

Online proctoring services cannot be used for this exam. It must be taken in the presence of a proctor at their same location.

American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators, (ABMDI)

The Medicolegal Death Investigator Certification is not associated with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators, (ABMDI). It is the goal of this certification to move students through the development of skills and experience toward a career in Medicolegal Death Investigation.
