Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Fellow differ from a Diplomate?
The Diplomate is the board's higher designation: at least seven years of documented forensic vocational experience and distinguished performance such as publications, office in a professional organization or awards, against the Fellow's three years. The two certifications share the degree requirement, the examination, the peer-reviewed work product and the code of ethics, and the board takes a separate application for each.
