VIN Chip’s IMI Course Draws Global Experts for Advanced Forensic VIN Training

VIN Chip’s accredited IMI course in Gloucestershire has once again proven to be a great success, attracting police officers from the UK and Denmark, along with fully vetted private sector investigators from the UK insurance industry. Together, they participated in a hands-on, in-depth training on forensic VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) recovery.

Course Highlights: Real-World, Hands-On Training

The course, aimed at equipping professionals with vital forensic vehicle examination skills, was praised for its practical, real-world approach. Nick Mayell, an IMI Interpol Trainer and Identification Specialist for Construction Plant and Agricultural Machinery, said, "We pride ourselves not only on the quality of our courses but also on offering ongoing mentorship. It's impossible to cover everything in a few days, so we stay committed to helping our students throughout their careers."

He continued, “Just last week, I was able to assist one of my ex-students with a specific forensic issue — and he attended my course over 7 years ago.”

Valuable Feedback from Course Attendees

Feedback from course participants reinforced the course’s value. Martin Normann, a forensic technician with the Danish Police, said, "This course is perfect for anyone learning how to re-etch." Jack Jackson from West Mercia Police found it "incredibly informative, a must-have for modern policing." AXA Insurance’s Darren Beirne commented, "Great practical course, spot on!"

The Importance of VIN Recovery Training for UK Professionals

For UK professionals, particularly in law enforcement and insurance, VIN recovery training is essential in combating vehicle theft, fraud, and the growing problem of vehicle cloning. The ability to identify and recover stolen vehicles or machinery through forensic VIN examination is crucial for protecting businesses and the public from financial and legal risks. The training equips officers and investigators with the skills needed to detect altered or tampered VINs, support criminal investigations, and validate insurance claims — all of which are becoming increasingly important in the fight against modern-day fraud.
