The PISA Integrity Assessment Centre is your leading partner in integrity management solutions. Established in 1986 the company has a long running history of offering professional solutions to suit your personal needs with the wisdom and experience that can only be crafted through years of dedication to the field. We understand the modern challenges faced by businesses and individuals alike and we

use our extensive and ever growing knowledge to provide personalized services of the highest quality. The PISA Integrity Assessment Centre offers a range of services, including polygraph examinations, background checks, psychometric evaluations, verifications and much more. We utilize the multitude of professional tools at our disposal to offer our clients the perfect solutions for their particular needs. Conventional security systems are well known and far too common. With certainty we can say that they are a necessity, but it is our absolute and unquestioning trust in the common security systems that leaves us more vulnerable than a gaping hole in our wall. We spend fortunes building fences, mounting cameras, training guard dogs and installing alarms and yet we fail to adequately scrutinize and attend to the very people whom we trust to maintain these systems essential to our wellbeing. Lest we forget, all security systems are on some level or another based on human trust, so is it not our responsibility to create and maintain a culture of integrity that will foster this very trust and encourage responsibility and respect? The PISA Integrity Assessment Centre is the leader in integrity management on all levels. We offer our clients the information they require for peace of mind and assist in creating a culture of integrity. Any company is responsible for the wellbeing of themselves, their employees and their clients, and our services act as an essential tool in fulfilling that responsibility. Due to the massive advantage that our services can provide to any company it should no longer be considered a luxury, but rather a necessity for the safety and security of all involved.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr Charl du Toit and the amazing team at the The Success Academy for another fantastic event.

Success is never an accident. It is the result of commitment—showing up when it’s hard, staying focused when distractions are loud, and choosing discipline over comfort. Commitment turns goals into habits and habits into achievements. When we commit fully, we unlock consistency, and consistency is what carries us from intention to impact. Success doesn’t belong to the lucky; it belongs to the committed. Let’s choose commitment, and the success will follow.

It was our absolute pleasure to attend this event, and hope there will be many more to come.

PISA Directors Shines at South African Target Rifle Association Championships

Always Aiming for Excellence

From 3 to 5 April 2025, two Directors of the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre; Joanette Karsten and Chris Karsten (CFE) Karsten competed at the South African Target Rifle Association (SATRA) National Championships, held at the Bloemfontein Shooting Centre. This prestigious event is currently the largest gathering of smallbore rifle shooters in South Africa, attracting top talent from across the country. The South African Target Rifle Association is a National Association that was started prior to 1942 and has a long and rich shooting history.

The competition began with a demanding three-position shooting event on the first day. Both Joanette and Chris competed, with Joanette achieving an outstanding second-place finish overall—competing against both male and female shooters.

The remaining days were dedicated to prone position matches, consisting of five individual competitions. Scores from each day were aggregated to determine overall standings. Joanette delivered a standout performance, shooting a personal best of 593/600 on the second day—only to surpass it on the final day with an exceptional score of 595/600. This remarkable achievement was the highest recorded score in the ISSF Open Prone Class for the week.

Both Joanette and Chris were selected to represent the Northern Gauteng Provincial A Team, which went on to win the gold medal for best provincial team performance. Joanette also represented the Pretoria Military Smallbore Club, which secured the gold medal for the best club.

In the final standings, Joanette placed third overall in the highly competitive A-Class, with the top honour going to Freek Senore. She also earned the gold medal for Best Female Shooter of the Championships. Chris delivered a commendable performance as well, securing second place in the B-Class, just behind winner Gretchen Du Plessis.

Speaking to Chris Karsten about the achievements, he said that “We could not have done it without the support of the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre, and the talents we received from God, we are truly grateful. It took hard work and dedication to make the most of the opportunities given, and we will continue to commit ourselves to excellence.” “Yes, we are truly thankful and truly blessed. The fact is that there are no shortcuts, you take what you have, and you put in the time and effort to make the most of it, and we will continue to do so,” added Joanette Karsten.

ACADEMY FOR SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIVE TRAINING BASIC POLYGRAPH COURSE

The Academy for Scientific Investigative Training will be returning to Gauteng, South Africa, from 8 April 2025 to 14 June 2025 to present an American Polygraph Association Accredited basic polygraph examiner training course with world renowned Nate Gordon.

The Academy for Scientific Investigative Training is a professional institution offering a comprehensive education in the art of the detection of deception. Studies of theory, history and psychophysiology are pursued through lecture and assigned reading. Theory is quickly put into practice as students receive hands on instruction with a variety of polygraph instrumentation, from the older mechanical instruments, to the most modern electronic and computerized instrumentation available. Students become thoroughly versed in all major techniques, including that of Reid, Backster, Utah, Matte, Marcy, Federal Zone, Peak of Tension, Concealed Information Test, Positive Control and the Academy’s “Integrated Zone of Comparison Technique,” and “Polygraph Verification Technique.”

Several methods of chart interpretation and numerical scoring, including the Academy’s own “Horizontal Scoring System,” are mastered by the students, in a modern classroom facility while they observe ongoing testing and participate in mock examinations. Experience in a variety of testing situations is provided, from criminal to business investigation, and pre-employment analysis. The Academy is the only school offering an education in the Morgan Interview Thematic Technique (MITT), a projective test that assists in assessing a person’s truthfulness as well as provides important information that can be used in post-test interviews.

The Academy’s educational concept is distinguished as one that aims for total involvement of the student, from theory, techniques and instrumentation, through direct student involvement and participation in the testing procedure. Eligible candidates enter the Academy for comprehensive study and ten weeks later graduate as professionally trained Forensic Psychophysiologists. Students leave the Academy with an operational expertise geared to his or her individual working style and environment.
