 BREAKING NEWS:       The Backster School of Lie Detection's first European 400 hour, Basic (8-week) Polygraph Examiner Training Course (PE-189) will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria begining on May, 27, 2013.   Please contact Assess at polygraph@assess.bg orTodor at todor.todorov1313@gmail.com  

*(PE 190)  is being scheduled for San Diego, CA in Sept, 2013 to bring the Backster School of Lie Detection back into full compliance with APA.  We were forced to cancel a course in 2012 (San Diego) that only had 2 students.  Cleve felt a course of 2 students would not be a conducive learning environment testing one another for 8 weeks.  A complaint was filed with APA and we were found out of compliance with a minor violation.  APA was formally notified of our intent to return to full compliance with PE-190 in San Diego.  The Backster School of Lie Detection fully endorses and supports APA.

   For more information or to be placed on an informational list for upcoming courses, please send us an e-mail:  CleveBackster@cs.com
