Handwriting Analysis Courses
AHAF members come from various schools of handwriting analysis. We welcome all students and professionals from all schools into our organization. AHAF does not have its own courses, but we do offer continuing education.
There are two distinct areas of Handwriting Analysis: Graphology that deals with behavioral and personality, and Questioned Document Examination, which deals with the forensic aspects of handwriting authentication.
We only recommend courses that meet our certification requirements, which were submitted for review and approval.
