Booking Through Us vs. Finding an Examiner on Your Own

On your own

  • You must confirm the training school is genuinely APA-accredited — many “certificates” come from unaccredited courses.
  • You must check that memberships are real and have not lapsed.
  • You must verify the state licence with the NC Polygraph Examiners Licensing Board yourself.
  • Few people think to ask about professional liability insurance.
  • A sole operator often has no published standards and no complaints route.
  • You may pay in full for a test your situation is not suitable for.

Booking through us

  • Training, accreditation, and credentials already verified.
  • Memberships checked and kept current.
  • State licence confirmed for every North Carolina examiner.
  • Professional liability insurance in place.
