DNA Paternity Collector Training

Training includes mock collections, scenario training, and initial supplies. We also offer discounts with our all-in-one training bundles.

DNA Paternity Collector Training, which includes legal and curiosity, will take about 3 hours to complete, and there are no prerequisites or prior training required to enroll. After enrolling in the course, learners can immediately start their initial online self-paced proficiency training and, after completion, schedule instructor-led mock collections and scenario training via Zoom.

Our live instructor-led mock collections and scenario training via Zoom provides learners with the qualifications and training to perform buccal swab collections, overcome the most common issues regarding collection samples, and send collected samples to DNA testing laboratories for confirmation testing following chain of custody procedures and protocols.

Qualification training for DNA testing, whether for legal or curiosity paternity, is important for ensuring accuracy and maintaining the integrity of the process. Trained professionals collect, label, and store specimens following strict protocols, minimizing the risk of contamination or errors that could affect the results. In legal settings, following the property chain-of-custody procedures is vital for the DNA tests to be accepted in court. In addition, properly qualified collectors learn to handle the process professionally and sensitively, protecting confidentiality and upholding ethical standards.

This DNA collector training program is ideal for individuals seeking employment or entrepreneurs aiming to start their own mobile or onsite DNA testing business. We also provide lab contact information to help learners. While we can facilitate introductions to a lab, opening an account is subject to various factors and cannot be guaranteed. Please note that this course focuses solely on training and does not include business advice. If you are looking for small business advice, free resources and coaching are available from the Small Business Administration.

Upon completing the online exam and mock collections, learners can download a certificate of completion, which provides proof of training and qualifications.
