It's actually taught by DFS (Division of Forensic Science) It was 40 hours of in class/ lab work and documented hours of "homework". I can't remember the number of hours though. It was the hardest thing to learn in the academy. It is a lot of information and the tests were not exactly easy. Operators have to be re-certified at least every two years. If you don't pass the re-cert, you have to take the whole thing over again at DFS. (not just the re-cert, the 40+ hours)
