Application Form

All prospective students are required to undergo a personal interview with an Indiana Polygraph Institute instructor. Some applicants may be requested to undergo a polygraph examination following an interview if IPI finds it necessary to resolve background ambiguities.

Furthermore, applicants must meet the following minimum requirements of IPI:

  • Must be at least 21 years of age
  • Must not have a record of felony convictions
  • Must be of good character and reputation
  • Must have a baccalaureate degree
  • Must present a certified diploma from an accredited college
  • Must accurately complete the Indiana Polygraph Institute application form
  • Must pay in full the course tuition of $2,000 (trainees from former USSR countries) and $5,000 (worldwide trainees) by the first day of class.

Please print the Application Form. You must fully and legibly complete, and sign. IPI prefers receiving applications prior to interviewing applicants. Therefore, mail, e-mail or fax your completed form to us before your interview. If time does not allow, bring it with you for your personal interview with an IPI instructor.

Applicants must be truthful and accurate in their responses to all inquiries. Failure to disclose any criminal violation or to present truthful and accurate information will result in the denial of your application. IPI reserves the right to submit an applicant to polygraph testing if it is necessary to clarify unresolved background matters.
