About this programme
Deception Detection is a self-paced course delivered by expert Pamela Meyer that teaches coaches to recognize deceptive behavior through evidence-based observation and interviewing techniques. The programme combines foundational knowledge about the psychology of deception with practical skills in analyzing verbal and nonverbal cues to establish client baselines and differentiate honest from deceptive narratives. Participants work through case studies and exercises that develop competence in designing effective questions, managing resistant or passive-aggressive responses, and building psychological rapport in challenging conversations. The course covers the seven key facial expressions associated with emotion and introduces a structured four-step PREP interviewing framework designed to extract truthful information. Research indicates that coaches who complete proper training in deception detection can improve their ability to identify deception by up to 50 percent.
