Our 5 day ( 40 hours ) Bloodstain Pattern Analysis on Textile Course is designed to give the participants 40 hours of lectures, practical’s (experiments and mock scenes) to increase knowledge and skills on blood stain analysis on textile.
Examination of bloodstained clothing is a common request of the bloodstain pattern analyst.
