Rapport-based interviewing is a collection of skills that allow the interviewer to develop a level of trust with a subject for the purpose of obtaining information.

This style of interviewing is non-confrontational and conversational in approach. This is for training support in Harpers Ferry, WV at the Advanced Training Center (ATC) for a base year plus four, one-year options contract. There can be up to 24 sessions of DDER training delivered per year. The number of sessions scheduled will be based on fiscal year funding.
