Description
New EEO Investigator Training — 32-Hour MD-110 Program
Learn the governing standard, produce defensible investigative work, and apply the process in an AI-supported simulation.
This instructor-guided program is designed around the new-investigator training subjects in EEOC Management Directive 110, Chapter 6, and the federal-sector complaint process in 29 C.F.R. Part 1614.
One complete learning pathway
- 32-hour interactive course: Eight sequenced modules covering the federal EEO process, impartial investigation, interviewing, affidavits, evidence, Appendix J planning, and the record of investigation.
- Facilitated cohort: Weekly office hours, instructor announcements, fictional-fact peer discussion, source-verification questions, coaching, and assignment feedback.
- Ellis Case AI Simulation Lab: Applied investigation practice that moves learners from knowing the rule to making and defending decisions under realistic pressure.
- Instructor review: Work-product review, written feedback, targeted remediation, and simulation retry when a competency needs strengthening.
- Verified completion: Assessment, participation, time, and work-product requirements are reviewed before the certificate is issued.
What the program includes
- 32 verified active training hours across eight modules;
- four full-length instructor recordings totaling approximately 23 hours and 26 minutes;
- interactive legal decisions, investigative planning, Appendix J practice, voiced interviews, affidavit drafting, evidence analysis, and ROI preparation;
- five-question knowledge checks in every module and a 20-question final assessment;
- an 80-percent passing requirement;
- formatted PDF and Word learner manuals, workbook activities, a capstone case file, and a recorded-training discussion guide;
- a connected learner cohort with Tuesday office hours from 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET; and
- the assigned Ellis Case Simulation and Reflection with instructor or coach feedback.
Completion standard
Learners must complete every required activity, document at least 90 percent verified viewing of each instructor recording, submit each required discussion response, pass all module checks, complete the applied work products, record 32 active hours, and score at least 80 percent on the final assessment. When assigned through the cohort, learners must also complete the Ellis Case Simulation and Reflection and address any required remediation.
