Important note:
We DO NOT recommend this
package for most persons.
For most persons, they are
FAR
better off attending a
hands-on seminar or boot-camp.
THE PACKAGE:
LEARN ABOUT LIE-DETECTION:
BASICS, ADVANCED, & BUSINESS
two versions available of the
'Polygraph Training
Guide Package 2023'!
also known as
the 50-pound 'polygraph-academy-in-a box'!
(and a much-lighter version, at a much lower price,
with virtually all the same material, but less heavy-duty
and mostly or all black & white, is also available!)
(index text and support materials of fundamental
TOPICS, KEY POINTS, and DATA
--and much, much more!--
for polygraph classrooms, workshops,
self-teaching, seminars, and agencies)
Note:
no polygraph hardware or instrument is included;
these training packages are paper only!
The 'secret formula':
The best in private polygraph training materials
+
the best in government polygraph training materials
=
the most powerful polygraph training package in the world!
You can choose:
1. Learn from schools that are almost out of business,
ran by guys who have NEVER had a successful polygraph business of their own,
-or-
>>> 2. Learn from guys who have earned a living from doing polygraph exams! <<<
NOTE:
two different versions of this package are available!
See ordering information at the end of this long document.
Contains copies of past polygraph manufacturer advertising,
likely for the models you might find available used now!
THE ULTIMATE LIE-DETECTION PRIMER
and
START OR IMPROVE A POLYGRAPH BUSINESS NOW GUIDE
and
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUMENT OPERATION GUIDES
compiled & written
by John Grogan
Polygraph Instructor/Polygraph Examiner
Secret #1:
We have the complete training materials from all major
polygraph schools AND the Federal polygraph academy.
We made our package better!
Visit PolygraphAcademy.com for more details and
for the newest version of this comprehensive package
Your package may slightly differ in content and order;
all specifications subject to change slightly without prior notice.
Page-counts and weights are approximate but very close.
Updated for 2023:
Learn why Federal polygraph examiners are said to be the best:
This updated version now also includes many 'tips', 'notes', 'variations',
and even past training materials previously or currently
being used & taught at DODPI/DACA/NCCA
(Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment),
the US Government's 10-week polygraph school)
on many different lie-detection topics.
Our staff recently spent a month reviewing all materials,
notes, and hand-outs of the modern Federal polygraph
program, and we updated our materials with that knowledge!
DODPI/DACA (now renamed NCCA)
is where FBI & CIA polygraphers,
military polygraphers, and about 20 other Federal
agencies get all of their polygraph training.
Greatly differing from that taught by private
polygraph academies, DACA also oversees extensive
reasearch designed to improve the accuracy of
polygraph examination results. New techniques
and data developed here seems to sometimes never
'trickle down' to the civilian polygraph academies!
Learn some of what Federal examiners know:
at no additional cost to you,
this 2013 package includes more than a dozen past training
material sets issued in the past by the Federal polygraph academy!
For example:
Materials from some schools still tell that certain breathing
patterns indicate LYING, while more recent DACA research shows
that those same breathing patterns do NOT indicate deception.
- - -
Secret #2:
Another west coast polygraph academy opened-- then quickly closed!
Offering 'half-price' tuition to its first (and very small) class,
it soon later closed down!
Lie-Detection work is
an excellent avocational situation:
"av·o·ca·tion (av'O-kAshun); noun:
An activity taken up in addition to
one's regular work or profession".
Most lie-detection is done by examiners
around their regular occupation or income!
For both conventional (analog) and computerized polygraph instruments.
Condenses the fundamental topics, key points, and data of
a typical full-term polygraph academy --and far more!--
into a primer-plus package to study at your own pace and schedule.
Referred to as "like a polygraph academy in a box"!
Many colored-ink text pages are printed with colors on
white inkjet sheet paper and most are clear-sheathed..
(The much lower-priced version is greatly lighter,
less heavy-duty, no sheathing, and is mostly or all black & white).
Includes some current trends, techniques, and specialties
of private and government polygraph examiners nationwide.
Is the actual 50-pound package used by some
polygraph classes as their complete foundation.
NOTE: new pages and/or improvements are often added!
2023 edition has changes:
new or updated data added, some redundant or old data deleted.
For 2023: included, at no extra charge:
a confidential interview with the most
televised polygraph examiner in the world.
Learn in this consultation why some
examiners are busy while others have no work!
Includes past interviews and past technical input
from every polygraph instrument manufacturer!
--- Specifications and prices are subject
to slight change; your package may differ
slightly from this index in content and order ---
Written and compiled by a polygraph instructor/examiner
who has computerized polygraph instruments
from ALL FOUR polygraph manufacturers,
and several analog instruments from BOTH manufacturers!

Secret #3:
Most people don't need to sit in an academy for 10 weeks.
In 25 states, there is NO polygraph license:
all you need is 2 things-- knowledge and equipment.
"I am a former peace officer with over 16 years of
law enforcement and investigative experience. After reading about John
Grogan's extensive background in the Investigative and Polygraph
professions, I decided to invest time and money into
PolygraphAcademy.com's self-study course.
I had previously taken several college on-line courses
from different schools working toward my college degree. I said to myself,
'Why not try learning from this course?' Besides, I didn't have the time to
take off from my business to attend an 8-week course.
As I started reviewing the material, I realized it was a wealth
of information! It was so easy to read and to comprehend.
I couldn't wait to get through the 50-pounds of material and to
expand my private investigation business to include lie-detection.
Mr Grogan provided me tremendous e-mail and phone support for any
questions I had. I was uncertain where to shop for a polygraph instrument,
and John gave me the secrets on which is best and how to get the best price.
And then he shared secrets-- that worked-- on how to develop a polygraph
business (which by the way, is not part of any other poly school's lesson plan).
I went to Los Angeles on business and decided to pay him a visit.
While visiting him at one of his offices, he supplied me with a lot
of hands-on training for computerized instruments-- free. It reinforced
what I had already learned from the exhaustive material I had studied.
After many exams for the public and for businesses, I am completely
competent as a Polygraph Examiner, thanks to John. The polygraph
training he offers is the best investment I ever made in my business.
If anyone wants to learn polygraph,
PolygraphAcademy.com is the place to do it.".

We are NOT a 'school' or a 'diploma mill';
you are learning directly from polygraph
examiners who have actually earned a living
in the private practice of this profession.
Much of this package is actual handouts and training pages
developed for state-approved polygraph schools.
Some even have the dates of design!
Some 8 X 10 color photographs printed on high-resolution photo-paper stock.
Many full-color 'screenshots', as if the polygraph was right in front of you.
Follow this comprehensive package with practice, in-person training,
and continuing education to become a competent examiner
(this is what all polygraph training sources say!).
Read and re-read the material; if you retain
what is provided, you are well-prepared.
Available free: a 'hands-on' session.
Which of the four brands of computerized polygraph instruments
is the one to buy?! This package gives you an advance-look at
all of them, so you can be knowledgeable BEFORE you invest,
so that you DONT buy the bad wrong choice!
Secret: when you buy the one polygraph that a school
recommends to you, that school gets a $1000 commission,
and often the one they push is the choice to avoid!
We get ZERO commission, so we are
unbiased and can 'tell it like it is'.

"My partner and I purchased the "Polygraph Academy In A Box"
and found it to be what we expected and more. We were promised
very extensive set of study materials and that is exactly what
we recieved. Also we would like to thank many PEOA members for
all the profession support via the many telephone conversations,
email correspondence, and in person study time given to us.
We were told we could call anytime for help, and we have done
so without any problems whatsoever. To our complete satisfaction
you have provided us with what we were guaranteed before
purchasing the package. We feel completely competent with our
knowledge and practical application of the Polygraph instrument
and the testing process. I would recommend this package to anyone
who wants to learn the polygraph instrument, the testing process,
and how to make a living in the polygraph business.
We purposely chose not to go to a vocational school offering
polygraph training, because we wanted to learn this trade from someone
who actually earns a living with his polygraph, and not in a
classroom. We are former law enforcement officers who wanted to add
polygraph services to our Private Investigations firm, and we have now
done so. Thank you again for all.".

"It is apparent that you put a lot of thought
and time into its development. Thank you.
I would certainly recommend this product for
anyone starting out in the Polygraph Industry.
And an experienced examiner could benefit too,
with the great deal of information on the business
aspects of polygraphy. The extensive operational
info you have on all the polygraph manufacturers
will allow an experienced examiner to switch
instruments in an emergency. You have included
all of the Computerized Scoring Systems and

my thoughts on to students and other examiners".

Learn how you can have a new computerized
polygraph instrument in your hands in 24 hours!
Developed with many years of research;
continually improved;
also includes topics that many polygraph schools lack.
We know of schools/trainers that CHANGED their curriculum
after reading the 80-page index (table of contents) below!
We have copies of their OLD websites, etc,
and can show the dates they were changed!
Not all polygraph schools are equal:
Recently, we completely reviewed a set
of every hand-out, guide, study-sheet, notes, etc,
--virtually the complete & entire curriculum--
from a recent class of a respected full-term
'approved by an association' polygraph academy;
OUCH- the quality was terrible.
Other than pieces provided by visitors or 'guest instructors',
it was mostly hundreds of pages of dull, black-on-white photocopies,
many off-centered and/or originally printed using an
outdated typewriter instead of modern fonts and printers.
Hard to read; tiny print; boring and 'hard on the eyes'.
Some were dated more than 25 years ago.
And NOTHING regarding the 'business end' of polygraphy.
The depressing lack of color and/or photographs made for
a far-less enjoyable learning situation, and is far-less likely
to ever be seriously re-read in the future. We learn 'visually', and those
materials were sub-standard for a modern learning environment.
Poor materials make for useless later review;
perhaps this is why so many of their students need
to later pay this school for a 'refresher course'.

There are only 4 ways to learn polygraph:
1) Learn by your own study and practice, with no guidance.
the good- low financial cost.
the bad- your hundreds of hours of Internet searching
and book-buying might only scratch the surface.
2) 'Preceptor': learning while working under a polygraph examiner.
the good- it is 'fun'.
the bad- unless it is with a long-experienced,
high-volume examiner, you will never learn enough.
3) Attending an 8-to-10-week school.
the good- structured.
the bad- poor choice of time and cost spent-ratio.
4) Learn at your own pace, at home or office, with PolygraphAcademy.com.
the good- learn polygraph basics, business, and advanced.
the bad- none!
Fully independent, so you receive accurate & unbiased
data regarding the use of, and purchase from, the several
polygraph manufacturers. Their literature is supplied.

"I don't know where to start. First, I am a retired police officer and
have been the owner of a private investigation firm for two years.
Recently, after a client inquired about taking a polygraph for a marital
problem, I found out that the client had to drive 60 miles away and pay
600 dollars for the exam. I started checking the Internet on polygraph
schools and came across your 50 pound package. Again, remember I said
I was a retired police officer so I then checked the internet and read
about you. I decided to give you a call and I am glad I did.
After speaking to you on the phone and you reassured me that the training
package was a complete guide to polygraph, I purchased the package.
Four 6-inch binders full of information and training materials.
I read and reread the materials which is exhausting in itself.
I called you several times with questions and you always took time
to talk with me. You invited me to a free training seminar, which was
attended by several polygraphers from across the country. I got to see
the four different polygraph instruments and received hands-on training
on all of them. You even let me accompany you and observe you conduct
polygraph exams for your clients. When I felt I was ready to start
my business, you said Not Yet-- you then requested me to take two more
exams regarding my training. It was then that it was confirmed that you
just don't pass just anybody. You have proven to me to be a top-notch
trainer, professional and most of all, person. Your hospitality was
second to none.
To this day, I still call you with questions and ask your
opinions regarding polygraph and PI work. You have never ignored
my calls or blew me off. I am writing this testimonial to you because
I feel that you deserve this positive review and (those who say you must
spend 8 weeks in a school) are totally wrong in my opinion.
I highly recommend your training package for anyone interested in polygraph.
One warning to those; this package is not a fly-by-night study guide,
it takes 4-6 weeks of studying and more. Thank you so much for this training.

Are you a government-agency polygraph examiner,
and want to retire and start a private polygraph practice?
Other polygraphers in your area do not want you
(you are competing for the same clients they are),
so they will not be of much help;
we can help make the transition smoother:
--needed techniques you are not aware of
--'secrets' to getting government contracts
--how to get clients
--samples of private-sector exam reports
--payment issues
--overcoming the many headaches of dealing with the public
--low-cost advertising methods that produce results
--and much more!

" I was polygraphed for a job in the late 1980s

amd Interview and Interrogation. That same
decade, I often assisted him in teaching
basic classes for these specialties.

Why have so many polygraph 'instructors' NEVER
operated a successful polygraph agency of their own?!
If they never supported their family by obtaining and satisying
polygraph clients, how in the world can they teach someone else to?!
The truth is, almost every polygraph examiner you will ever
meet has NOT ever paid his/her bills with a 'polygraph business':
instead, he/she either has a 'real' job, a pension, or a working spouse!
Why? The work IS there and available-- you just need to direct it to YOU.
Can send the 50-pound package , or its lighter version, in one delivery--
or more often, can send either in four logically-timed deliveries!
Experienced, and want to do contract work for law-enforcement agencies?
All typical form letters, tips, and questionaires used for
pre-employment testing are included; no need to 'reinvent the wheel'!
Many documents and instructions are from major law-enforcement agencies.

"After nearly 20 years of Military Intelligence as analyst,
law enforcement, criminal & insurance fraud investigations,
as well as a criminal justice and psychology background, . . .
. . . .I studied the available curriculum at 'so-called expert' polygraph schools,
and realized that their curriculum content was somewhat weak. . ..
I found PolygraphAcademy.com.
Needless to say, there was literally no comparison in curriculum,
personal instruction, training, and of course the cost.
The depth and level of knowledge, including both military
and federal polygraph techniques was second to none.
As such, I jumped on it. Taking the knowledge from PolygraphAcademy.com
afforded me the opportunity to start generating an income much sooner,
as well as affording me the ability to obtain the instrument.
After the learning, I realized you're not just 'thrown to the wolves'
but can remain in a professional relationship with John Grogan,
who has more experience in this industry than most examiners
and has always made himself readily available to myself.
Clearly, anyone learning from the comprehensive
package will enter the polygraph
profession more knowledgeable, better trained and
prepared than by any school. Period.
Needless to say, I obviously and
highly recommend PolygraphAcademy.com
to anyone desiring to get into this
lucrative and honorable career field".

Not all polygraph schools are equal:
A sad 'secret'-
Many good polygraph examiners write terrible reports.
As a director who approves examiners to receive referrals
for polygraph examinations from the nationwide polygraph
referral network Polygraph Examiners Of America
(www.peoa.US), I am required to review a sample report
from every member before they can receive a referral.
Some excellent examiners are found to be producing a
final work product, their written report, that is so poor
that it lessens the value of their work. These reports,
read later by other persons, do not reflect the skill of
the examiner. Instead, some wrongly look like amateurs.
Interviewing many polygraph academy
graduates revealed a common statement:
"In school, we didn't spend much time on writing reports".
And some schools spent NO time on report writing!
When a completed examination is later being discussed,
you are not there: your report is standing there for you.
A crummy report could mean that your client wasted the money.
Included in this 50-pounder are enough sample reports to
assist any examiner in writing respectable examination reports.
Update:
Recently, another recent graduate of an 'association approved'
polygraph academy advised "I have a client now and I need a report
sample-- the $5000 8-week school I just graduated from did absolutely
no mentioning of how to do a report, not even giving us a single sample".
More proof that some polygraph academy owners know this sad truth:
most $5000 graduates will NEVER have a real polygraph business after finishing.

"As a Private Investigator for over 11 years you have a tendency to be
somewhat suspicious of people. I saw PolygraphAcademy.com's polygraph package
on the Internet and it seemed too good to be true. After mulling this purchase
over for weeks and speaking to John Grogan several times on the phone,
I purchased the extensive Polygraph package. I was extremely impressed with
the content of the package. This is without a doubt the most comprehensive
polygraph training program in America. The materials are an exhaustive
reference for anything involved with the polygraph business, from history,
marketing, techniques, protocol, to the various polygraph instruments on
the market. I was assisted with the secrets on deciding which polygraph
instrument to purchase and I received a large discount on a computerized
polygraph instrument just for learning via this extensive program.
I also attended a www.PEOA.us workshop which I found to be informative,
educational and entertaining. The fellow attendees were a wealth of

students at the distant academies, get the extensive "Polygraph Academy in a Box".
Honestly, I looked into several training
programs that were very expensive
and took several months to complete.
None had all the coverage I was looking for.
Instead, I went with the PolygraphAcademy.com
package-- it was exhaustively
thorough and very detailed. It is the
kind of materials that teach you all
that you need to know in order to
be a competent examiner, quickly
and completely, without wasting your
time in long class sessions where they
spend much of their time on non-essential
time-wasting matters.

This includes the two nearly undetectable methods, which if not
spotted could allow a lying person to be scored as truthful

Research is important:
For example, there are currently two 10-week polygraph academies
in California alone (there was five, three closed).
NOTE: in the last 2 years, most of the above polygraph schools
were either completely closed or had most 10-week classes cancelled.
We thoroughly reviewed recent & complete sets of all issued
training materials and student notes from EVERY one of these schools.
NONE has near the range of coverage that these packages have:
examine the skimpy indexes on their own websites !
Don't count on the class dates listed on a school's website:
many schools quietly 'skip' scheduled class dates,
entire 8 or 9 week blocks,
when there were not enough students to 'make it worth it';
this often happens AFTER you have paid and have
arranged to be off work for those entire months!
One 'approved' school, listed a calendar last year
that 'showed' back-to-back classes the entire year:
but really only 2 of those scheduled classes ever were held!
- - - - - -
Hundreds of dollars/hours of continuing education
every year are used to continually improve this package!
Also improved for the 2019 edition:
every section and page listed in the giant index (table of contents)
has been reviewed by a series of polygraph examiners,
below new and old, for suggested improvements and updating.
Those modifications, removals, and additions have all been included!

Also learn about the extensive use of polygraph examinations
at sporting events (bodybuilding tournaments, races, fishing, cycling,
and many others). Why polygraph has replaced drug testing and more!
Why are most graduates of 8-week polygraph academies,

Instead of just 'theory', learn from those with years of 'applied use' of
lie-detection: learn from the real-world successes -and mistakes- of others!

I have had other polygraph training, as well as

I was a little hesitant in purchasing
the Polygraph Academy manuals,
wondering if it would be of value to my continuing
education. I couldn't have been more satisfied.
I found that not only did it include any
type of polygraph scenario possible, but also it
offered "real world" knowledge, education,
business advice, and continuing education on a
regular basis. I am also continually pleased
with the expediency of the PEOA referral service.
It really take the time to send me the referrals
as quickly as I request them. I also find PEOA

Not all polygraph schools are equa
Recently, we completely reviewed a set
of every hand-out, guide, study-sheet, notes, etc,
--virtually the complete & entire curriculum--
from a recent class of DACA
(Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment),
the Federal government polygraph academy previously
known as DoD-PI (Department of Defense Polygraph Institute).
Very good - orderly and well-researched. But 'dry'.
No photographs. No color; all black and white photocopies.
And it is based on the type of exams conducted by government
examiners-- where in most situations, the examinee is required
to submit to the exam. So, the DACA materials are excellent for
that, but are lacking in training for the many variables encountered
in private-sector exams (and of course, no polygraph 'business' materials).
Note: many tidbits of updated research & technique information were
obtained during this review, and they have been added to this 2011 version!

Learn how some examiners can have a new computerized
polygraph instrument in your hands in 24 hours!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Trying to 'fluff up' the 'hours of teaching',
some schools advertise that their schedule
includes TEN to FIFTEEN hours
on 'History of Lie-Detection'.
Do you think that you that you will be a better
polygraph examiner by knowing how the ancient Indians
or the Salem Witch Trials did lie-detection?!!!

"I wanted to take a minute and
thank you for your polygraph training program.
The books are all you said they are,
including the weight! The binders that you
have assembled based on your knowledge in
the polygraph profession offer a wealth
of information to help me become an expert
as a polygraph examiner. I would also
like to thank you for the ongoing training
and answering the numerous questions
I have when I call you for help."
Richard Fitzpatrick, POLYGRAPH EXAMINER, California

"The Polygraph Training Guide is
one of the most informative and complete
curriculums that I have been able
to find on polygraph examining.
It is easy to read and understand with
a lot of real world experience put into it.
For the amount of information and years
of experience compiled into one package,
I can genuinely say that this training guide
is well worth the purchase".
S.F. Lukas, POLYGRAPH EXAMINER

Many good polygraphers have only little business:
they are well-skilled, but are lacking in 'marketing savvy'.
Included in this package are samples of PROVEN
marketing tools- relatively inexpensive yet effective!

Learn which 5 little parts get lost or broken
the most often, so you can keep spares with you.
(Have these backup parts with your instrument;
these are all very low-priced, yet could keep
you from working until a replacement arrived)

"I purchased this polygraph package and I could not believe
how extensive and thorough it is. Everything is fully illustrated
and in color. When they say these manuals are 50+ pounds, believe it.
As a manual writer myself, I know what to look for in another’s work.
I spent over a year writing one. John Grogan clearly spent many years
compiling this package. It is obvious that the information comes from
his personal experience, which is the key ingredient to having a truly
informational/technical manual like this.
PI’s are very adept for the most part with the ability to gather key
facts and information on an issue and for the most part they are very
well trained to be able to write their conclusions of the investigation
they were assigned. It behooves all us PI’s who may be considering the
field of Polygraph to NOT try to reinvent the wheel but instead glean
what has already been done by perhaps one of the best in the business.
I am totally blown away with the details it has in it.
Professionally speaking, he has out-done himself with this work.
He details all the equipment out there and where to purchase it.
He shares with you all the various other places one can go to take
any training offering to teach polygraph, but you needn't go elsewhere.
John’s manuals cut to the chase for what you need to know right now,
versus wasting away in a classroom for 8 or more weeks. Many academies
for the most part really want to get $5000 from you and then teach you
the minimum basics and about the body parts and history of polygraph.
I really couldn't care less about how
lie-detection was done a thousand years ago!
Nice to know stuff, but is it really necessary?!
Then you have to make sure they are even a credible
agency out of the numerous ones out there teaching CRAP!
Personally, I wanted to cut to the chase and learn the techniques
of the polygraph instrument and how to read the results for the client,
and I have now done that and far more."

Also learn about PCSOT Examinations
(Post-Conviction Sexual Offender Testing),
the most popular polygraph continuing-education choice.
There are about 40 states that require
sex offenders to submit to polygraph testing!
Includes some of the knowledge gained from attending
three 40-hour 'approved by a polygraph organization'
PCSOT seminars and from years of actually
conducting real PCSOT examinations.
NOTE: a polygraph organization recently revealed
a disturbing fact: many PCSOT 'instructors' teaching
at 'approved 40-hour PCSOT courses' actually have
litle or NO real-life experience in actually
conducting this type of exam!
The writers/compilers of this 2022 version have hands-on
PAID experience administering this type of examination
for government agencies, county through Federal.

SPECIALTY: TV AND OTHER MEDIA APPEARANCES
(A note about TV and entertainment polygraph exams:
Most exams were actually conducted off-camera.
What you see on TV is usually a pretend exam
filmed next, for TV purposes. The movements,
unusual questions and silly answers are not
what you can expect on a real examination.
Plus, many have 'scripted', 'predetermined',
or 'known solution' results.)
