Forensic Biology / DNA
Program Overview
CTS Forensic Biology/DNA tests are scheduled with reliability in mind: participants can choose tests from either the Forensic Biology or DNA Sample Specific series and remain in compliance with FBI Quality Assurance Standards (QAS) test frequency requirements, allowing participants to start testing at almost any time of the year. We also recognize that some examiners work in very specialized roles; we offer an Other Biology/DNA Tests series to meet these specific proficiency testing needs, as well as several on-demand options across subdisciplines for testing on an even more flexible schedule.
