The Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) exam is the benchmark for professional crash reconstructionists. This course is designed to help you confidently prepare for and succeed on the ACTAR exam.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn what to expect on exam day—from required supplies to question formats—and develop strategies for tackling both theory-based and scenario-based problems. We’ll also cover practical techniques for calculating approach and departure angles, determining departure distances, and review specialty topics such as Event Data Recorder (EDR) analysis and tire-related questions that often appear on the test.
