Great Course

Throughout my 23 years in emergency services, I have taken numerous online courses. This was by far one of the easiest to use and best-structured courses I've ever taken. Even if you're not pursuing an MDI, all branches of Emergency Services would learn useful knowledge from this course.

Fantastic Training

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken. The content, presentation, and instruction are excellent. I don't believe there is a better course on the market to prepare you for a career in the field of Death Investigation.

by Jack Smith

Concise and thorough information!

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this field. I’m a forensic nurse looking to get into death investigation. Darren is very knowledgeable and detailed. He knows his stuff and presents it in a fun way! I feel confident in moving forward in my career.

Great Course!

Great course! The content was very well explained by a very knowledgeable instructor. I have taken a class from him in the past and was impressed. I am looking forward to working in this field as a side job (for now) and look forward to continuing my education in the future. Thank you!

Fantastic Content

I was very impressed with the format and the content contained in this course. I thought the course taught me far more than I learned having previously attended our local law enforcement academy. The training focused more on what I NEEDED to learn instead of a broad overview of stuff irrelevant to my job. I would definitely recommend this course to future investigators!

by Justin Brown

Great Academy! Worth EVERY dollar!

These courses were very informative, and I learned so much! Darren is super and explains things in a manner that all can understand. And anytime I had a question I ALWAYS got a response promptly! I highly recommend Medicolegal Death Investigator Online Academy!

Highly Recommend

I thought that this course was very detailed and taught well. I learned many things and looked forward to the lessons. I like that it was working at your own pace, and I was able to take a few weeks off when I became busy at my job.

About

Hi, I'm Darren,
I created this Academy for people just like you...

I’ve been in the world of death investigation for over 35 years. I worked as a law enforcement investigator and a medicolegal death investigator for the Coroner/M.E office. I found a few years ago that training specifically for death investigation was limited or non-existent in many areas. My love for teaching and desire to leave this field better than I found it resulted in the academy you are now a part of.

Whether you are here to hone the skills you already have or are ready to get the training you need to start your career, I promise to do all I can to make you a better investigator.
