Yes. This course is open to students who are wanting to enter the field of death investigation as well as working professionals. It is our goal to help you prepare for the job you are wanting by providing nationally accepted training.
The only difference is the start date and session groups. The best way we found to distinguish between courses was to have a session number, That number relates to the month and year of the course start. #0122 January #0322 March. However, the content is the same.
You will have access to the course material for six months. This, however, does not take into account natural disasters or a major interruption in business.
This course is designed in such a way that one or more instructors will be live two or more times throughout the first six weeks. These are not tied to any particular course or set of courses, but rather at regular intervals during the first six weeks.
The Medicolegal Death Investigator course is an all-inclusive course. So, each student will receive a certificate at the end of all coursework.
After you have completed the course you will be given an option to take the certification examination. This is an optional online exam given by a third-party testing company and taken at a proctor exam location such as a college or library.

Students will receive a full refund of tuition to the online MDI training program prior to the start of the course. However, if a student has begun the course, the following refund policy will be in place. Should a student cancel enrollment after the three (3) business day cancelation period, the school will provide a fair and equitable refund formula. The refund formula is as follows: Online Tuition: 10% completion is a 90% Refund 25% completion is a 75% Refund *No refund will be given after 30 days or if completion is 50% or more* Multiple payments for the same course: In case the participant made extra payment (same course bought multiple times) for the same course, a refund will be issued upon request.
