Exam
Upon completion of AIST’s Fingerprint Course, you will take an examination, which will consist of four
parts: Part (1) 50 true or false questions; Part (2) 50 multiple questions; Part (3) 55 actual fingerprints to
examine for comparison; and Part (4) 50 actual fingerprints to classify . You must score a 70% or
higher, on each part of the examination, in order to pass the course and receive a certification of
completion.
All students who pass the AIST examination will receive their certification and have the knowledge and
experience to test for an entry level position as a Fingerprint Classifier, also known as a Fingerprint
Examiner, Fingerprint Expert, Identification Specialist, Forensic Specialist / Technician, Latent
Fingerprint Analyst, or its equivalent.
If you score below 70% you will have one opportunity to retake the examination. The retake will consist
only of the part(s) of the exam that you did not pass.
