While this by no means perfectly replicates the live experience, we’ve done our best to recreate something more accessible to students.

CrossExamined Instructor Academy - Online Course

PREMIUM (Certificate Course)


When you attend CIA in-person you get to make amazing new friends, take photos, and even share meals with them. It’s an INCREDIBLE experience.

But what you CAN’T do is...

--> Attend every single teaching session (some run at the same time). 🤯

--> You also can’t hit “replay” if you missed something important. 😰

--> You don't have access to quizzes, question and answer keys, and course commentary. 🤨

So we created CIA ONLINE to solve all of those problems + save you the time and expenses involved with traveling!

You will see presentations from...

+ Frank Turek

+ J. Warner Wallace

+ Greg Koukl

+ Alisa Childers

+ Richard Howe

+ Sean McDowell

+ Brett Kunkle

+ Natasha Crain

+ David Wood

+ Jorge Gil

Who will you be presenting to?

Two of the following:

  • Frank Turek
  • J. Warner Wallace
  • Alisa Childers
  • Natasha Crain

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

  • When do the live Zoom sessions take place?

Please download the course schedule to see the various days and times of the zoom sessions.

  • What type of payments do you accept?

Currently we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and check cards (as long as they are connected with one of the major credit card companies listed above) as well as PayPal.

  • Is my information safe and secure?

In order to ensure security, all payments are processed through Authorize.net or PayPal. These are highly secure and use industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe.

  • Can one person enroll in the course and multiple people attend the Zoom session with the student?

Unfortunately, due to copyright, privacy and security issues the answer to this question is NO.  We understand the desire to share these awesome sessions in this manner, but each course is a “closed” course.  This means that each student enrolled in a course with LIVE recorded sessions, through their enrollment, has given permission for recording of the Zoom sessions for use by the student’s in their enrolled class ONLY and verified that they are not a minor.   To remain GDPR compliant and protect privacy and security, we authenticate each student joining our Zoom meetings. This privacy is also sought to create a place where our students get to know the others in their group and feel comfortable in sharing personal thoughts and questions.
