Often times we receive comments about our "Certification" and "CPI" credentials. Following is a description of the use of the CPI credentials, as well as Certification.

Do you have to be Certified to be a Paranormal Investigator?

No! You do not have to be Certified to be a Paranormal Investigator. The Certification course that SPIRITswp takes at ParaNexus Academy is only to add credibility to our organization. It is an added benefit to our clients in the case that they are worried about our services. This process is verifiable through ParaNexus & ParaNexus Academy, therefore the client is able to do a little "Background Check" on us to make them feel more at ease. It is common for groups to run with no certification process.

Does not having a Certification make a group any less reliable?

No! Again, this is just something that SPIRITswp takes part in. There are credible groups that do not follow this process. To deem a group reliable or unreliable is not up to SPIRITswp, it is up to the clients that are in need of the groups services.

More On the Certification:

It is customary among some well-known names in the paranormal field to criticize any paranormal "certification" course. However, the time has come when there is simply too much to know to effectively get it on your own in a reasonable time period. Such things as the effective methods of conducting an investigation, client interaction, obtaining and reviewing evidence, and what constitutes acceptable evidence are built on experience. For the newcomer to the field--and many who are currently doing paranormal research--the info-overload can be tremendous. This course was designed to shorten and simplify the learning curve. And for that, a certification course is justified. It is common and accepted for such fields as Hypnosis, Reiki, and Homeopathy to have certification courses. Parapsychologists have been getting undergraduate degrees in Parapsychology for years. It is now time to bring professionalism and dignity to what is essentially the same thing as Parapsychology. Another huge advantage is perceived credibility with clients who are looking for competent investigators to help them. Certification lets our clients know that we are serious about what we do, and not just "ghost hunters." (Extracted from ParaNexus, Click Here!)

The "Meaning" of Certification Status

SPIRITswp does not claim to be Certified to know everything in the Paranormal Field - because nobody does. It simply means that we have taken a course at ParaNexus Academy and are Certified through them that we have taken the course. The course is an in-depth and great knowledge foundation into the world of the paranormal. Thus, we are Certified Paranormal Investigators through ParaNexus and ParaNexus Academy. Again, we only take part in this as an added benefit to our own knowledge and for the possible comfort of our clients. Certification can be taken the wrong way in this field. It is a shame, but true. We do this to better the knowledge of our new investigators as they are beginning to delve into the field. It really is a great course!
