method. The course includes training on the VIEW Questionnaire, a useful investigative
tool.
The LSI SCAN Advanced Workshop: Immediately following the LSI SCAN Basic
Course,the LSI SCAN Advanced Workshop will give the student hands-on guided practice
in analyzing statements for various types of cases, enabling the student to utilize his/her
knowledge of the SCAN technique in a more efficient and effective way.

reading. The guided reading enables the student to test the rules discussed during
the sessions.
b. The student is given additional material to read at the conclusion of the course. This
last assignment serves the student as a test of his ability to utilize the rules learned in
the course.
C. It is estimated that the student must devote 2 hours each evening for the reading
material,total reading time 6 hours.
5. Length of training: session hours = 36 hours.
reading assignments = 6 hours.
