Step Behind the Yellow Tape: Accredited CSI Training from a 36-Year Forensic Veteran

Learn real crime scene investigation skills — not TV drama and earn a certificate accredited by the American Accreditation Association (AAA)

Every crime scene tells a story. The question is —can you read it? This course takes you beyond the glossy drama of television and into the real techniques investigators use to uncover the truth. With 36 years of law enforcement and forensic experience, I’ll guide you step by step through the methods professionals use in the field.

The Truth About CSI: What TV Doesn’t Show You

  • Crimes are solved in under an hour. A computer beeps, a suspect’s name pops up, and the case is closed.

  • Every crime scene is a puzzle. Fingerprints, fibers, bloodstains, and digital trails must be carefully collected and analyzed to uncover the truth.

  • Justice depends on details. Investigators can’t afford shortcuts and neither should you when learning forensic science.

  • After 36 years in law enforcement and forensic work, I created this program to take you behind the yellow tape and teach you the real science of CSI.

Learn From a Forensic Veteran With 36 Years of Experience

I’m Michael Ullemeyer. Over my career, I worked with the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s and Police Departments, eventually serving as a Forensic Unit Supervisor.

I’ve investigated hundreds of crime scenes, trained officers, and supervised complex cases.

Now, I’m bringing that experience online — so you can access professional-level CSI training wherever you are.

This course is officially accredited by the American Accreditation Association (AAA).

That means when you complete it, your certificate isn’t just a piece of paper — it’s a recognized credential you can proudly add to your resume.

What You’ll Master Inside the Virtual Crime Lab

This isn’t a lecture-heavy history class. It’s hands-on, interactive, and designed to give you real skills you can apply. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to:

Learn the techniques professionals use to reveal hidden prints.

Reconstruct scenes with blood, prints, and trace evidence.

Understand how ballistics link weapons to crimes.

Write, photograph, and present findings the way forensic experts do in real cases.

Uncover clues from computers, phones, and online activity.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Hear from students who were once curious visitors, just like you:

"Taking Mr. Ullemeyer's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation course was an eye-opening experience that helped me direct my career goals. I discovered a true passion for forensics, and I am now applying that knowledge and interest in my job search. The course gave me confidence in understanding and discussing the processes used in physical evidence processing, which I know will benefit me in the field. I highly encourage anyone considering a career in forensics to take this class—it’s an invaluable step toward your future."

Great question. Free videos can give you tidbits, but this is a structured, accredited program created by someone with 36 years of real forensic experience.
