Third Degree is built on one principle: the best training comes from people who have done the work. If you've spent a career investigating, interviewing, and solving, and you're ready to multiply that impact by passing it to the next generation of investigators. We want to hear from you.
We recruit for two distinct roles, and we're direct about what each requires.
These are recognized leaders in their field, active or recently retired professionals with deep investigative expertise and a track record others respect. You bring real cases, real outcomes, and real credibility into the room.
Teaching experience is strongly preferred, though some of the best investigators in the country have never stood in front of a class.
If that's you, we can work with that.
These are active-duty professionals who are serious about mastering their craft and willing to share what they're learning in real time. You don't need a full instructor resume.
You need subject matter depth, a commitment to growth, and the drive to become the kind of practitioner others learn from.
We will help you develop the adult learning skills to do it well.
Most of our instructor positions are filled by professionals who have been with us for years. We are always looking to expand, and right now we have an active need for qualified Digital Forensics instructors and coaches.
If digital forensics is your specialty and you want to teach it at the highest level, this is the conversation to have.

Our instructors don't lecture. They facilitate. They challenge.
They create the conditions for students to discover what they're capable of.
Adults learn by doing and by listening. They bring experience into the room and need to connect new material to what they already know. Our instructors don't lecture. They facilitate. They challenge. They create the conditions for students to discover what they're capable of. We train our instructors in this methodology and support them as they develop it.
We know you have a job. We know you have a family. Teaching for Third Degree is designed to complement both, not compete with them. Courses run as one-day (8-hour), two-day (16-hour), three-day (24-hour), and occasionally 40-hour formats, scheduled well in advance so you can plan around your operational commitments and personal life. You choose the engagements that work for you. The goal is a long-term relationship built on mutual respect, not a demand on your time that burns you out.
You'll work alongside some of the most experienced investigators and attorneys in the country. You'll contribute to a curriculum that is constantly refined based on real feedback from real cases. Every class you teach will directly impact the solve culture of agencies across the country, meaning more victims getting closure, more cases getting solved, and more investigators who know what they're doing when it matters most.
