Who We Are

Customized Science-Based Training Solutions

What distinguishes Anderson Investigative Associates (AIA) from other training organizations is our unwavering commitment to developing fully customized, science-based programs that align precisely with your organization’s operational requirements and investigative challenges. We recognize that effective training must integrate seamlessly with your organizational culture, existing protocols, and previous training experiences to maximize learning outcomes and practical application.

Evidence-Based Curriculum Development

Our approach to developing courses, capabilities, and technology is grounded in scientific research and empirical evidence from the fields of cognitive psychology, memory science, and behavioral analysis. This commitment to evidence-based practices ensures that every program we create incorporates the latest validated methodologies while remaining adaptable to your organization’s evolving needs.

Through collaboration with academic practitioners and continuous research integration, we employ diverse, scientifically-validated instructional methods designed to create optimal learning experiences for every participant. Our curriculum development process systematically incorporates proven techniques for knowledge retention, skill transfer, and long-term behavioral change.

Flexible Program Structure and Interactive Learning

Based on your specific training objectives and organizational requirements, our programs can be structured from intensive one-day workshops to comprehensive five-day immersive experiences, with the majority of our courses optimally designed as two to three-day programs. Extended programs allow for increased integration of interactive exercises, realistic scenarios, and hands-on applications that reinforce scientific principles through practical experience.

Our interactive methodology ensures that participants don’t simply learn about science-based interviewing techniques—they practice and master them through carefully designed simulations that mirror real-world investigative challenges.

Collaborative Needs Assessment and Program Design

The most effective approach to identifying the optimal training solution for your organization begins with a comprehensive consultation between your training personnel and our subject matter experts. During this collaborative assessment, we evaluate your current capabilities, identify specific skill gaps, analyze your operational environment, and determine how science-based interviewing methodologies can be most effectively integrated into your existing investigative processes.

This thorough needs analysis ensures that every aspect of your customized program is strategically designed to deliver measurable improvements in investigative outcomes while maintaining cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
