Former U.S. Department of Justice attorney Michael Johnson leads three webinars that challenge common beliefs about how to interview witnesses and spot deception in internal investigations. You will:
- Learn about scientifically validated investigative techniques by examining videos, transcripts and case studies of real-life investigations
- Leave the sessions more confident in your ability to interview witnesses and determine who is telling the truth
Attend live and/or recorded versions of the webinars described below, which past attendees have described as “eye-opening,” “engaging,” and “riveting.” You can buy one, two, or all three webinars in this series. If you buy all three webinars, the price will be discounted to $447 ($90 discount).

Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.

I found the webinar very enlightening. The content was very specific to the topic and gave good insight to techniques used in interviews. More importantly it outlined the positives and negatives of said techniques. All of the information will be extremely helpful in my current position, and I would sincerely recommend the course to others.

This was very informative. While I am sure I will not spot a liar all the time, most likely more often than before I took this class. I am looking forward to the other webinars.
