Content & Availability

FDR is the industry standard in fraud training, with content provided directly by federal, state, and provincial issuing agencies. This is critical training for anyone handling documents of any kind as part of their job duties. A 100+ page reference manual is included, so staff will always have the fraud tools they need close at hand. This interactive, computer-based training is fully narrated, user friendly, and appropriate for all staff levels.

FDR Level I

This suite of modules introduces the basic techniques of fraudulent document recognition that staff can employ without the need for expensive forensic tools. By providing in-depth examples and explanations of the types of security features in circulation today, and most importantly, how to identify them, the modules provide the tools needed to flag documents for review that may have otherwise been accepted at face value as genuine.

Because the program includes a printable job aid and “quick tips” covering essential concepts and document features, staff will always be armed with the fraud detection tools they need. FDR Level I's modules range from 30-45 minutes each (including a knowledge assessment at the end of each module). Jurisdiction Members may deliver the suite as a whole or choose to offer only those modules that are of highest priority/interest.

FDR Level II

Level II is a natural progression of Level I's concepts in order to bring document examination to the next level. The courseware introduces covert security features and develops student skills in the use of magnification, auxiliary lighting and UV tools.

Although covert features are presented generically (a review of detailed covert features of specific documents is NOT provided), the course will provide a solid understanding of how to begin a second-level review in today's fraud environment. With this foundation, students can effectively engage with local fraud experts and document issuers in detailed reviews of documents important to their specific job duties.

Member Agency Implementation

Managers of agency business units are not prohibited from downloading the courseware, however, AAMVA advises managers to coordinate with your agency training and IT staff.

A number of courseware formats are available. FDR can be easily printed, distributed via CD, installed on an agency intranet or Learning Management System (LMS), or be used to develop classroom training.
