SA Polygraph Academy is a DOD testing and training centre with its HQ in Tableview, Cape Town.

We provide a unique service in Cape Town, in that we have several  testing suites, for testing your staff off-site. Instead of waiting an entire day or two to have your staff tested, we can process up to twenty five subjects per normal working day.

It is conducive for employers to test offsite, so that any negative perceptions by examinees are  not associated with their usual workplace.
If you can’t come to us, we can send a team of professionals to you, wherever you are.
