Investigative Interviewing Reviews

Good course around interviewing techniques. It would have been more beneficial if the role play was done in smaller groups so everyone could have a go instead of two people and everyone watching.

I though that the course was great for people who have not had training recently, but as I have had high level interview training recently I felt that it was less useful for me personally. However, it was good for me to see how everyone else performed, as I like to learn from other colleagues. I felt that some of the training was a little dated, and would benefit from some current theories of interviewing.

The course material was not adapted to the level of the audience at the beginning. Too basic for an advanced training. The trainer adapted the level during the second day, which helped regain interest from the crowd. The examples are very UK law-specific, which is not very well adapted to an international organisation.

Jim was very engaging and knew a lot about the subject. He was friendly and approachable. Would have liked more practise with questioning techniques and preparing topics- this i felt was rushed. The case studies used didn't relate to any of the work carried out by the people on the course- more relevant case studies would be helpful.
