I recently became ink fingerprint certified through LiveScan, as part of an employer based course. The best part of my LiveScan Training is having JW Reed as my instructor. He is knowledgeable, funny, patient, and understanding.

I also like the support after you finish the program, and how I can send in actual cards for feedback before sending them out for the background checks.

It is very convenient and it makes me feel better knowing I can rely on LiveScan even after having completed the course. The key is to practice on different people.
