PURPOSE
The IAI is committed to continue bringing

Forensic awareness around the world.

Translating the Ten print Certification program is
a project that will allow our overseas examiners
to reach their dreams of becoming certified.
Certification programs are created to promote
education, and build confident practitioners .
We thanked God for the opportunity of blessing
others with our passion for the Science of
Fingerprints.

PROGRESS REPORT
1. At the IAI conference in Florida 2009, the

project was presented to the board, and we

received their support.

and copyrights managers are supporting our
project and looking forward to start the
translation.
3. In 2010 at the IAI Forensic Conference in Costa
Rica, the certification class was presented, and
received an overwhelming response of examiners
requesting the opportunity to take the test.
