AI summary of reviews

Practical mock-court cross-examination is the course’s most valued feature, giving attendees a safe, realistic way to practise giving evidence and managing challenging questions. They describe the trainers as highly knowledgeable, approachable and engaging, using real-world examples and clear explanations to illuminate court procedure, defence and prosecution tactics, and witness expectations. The well-paced, interactive sessions build confidence and provide techniques attendees apply in their roles, though some would welcome more time for practice and feedback.

Really good course and input which helped to settle nerves. Learning defence tactics helps with remaining calm and knowing how to deal with it.

The interactive part of the course where a mock court environment is probably the most valuable as as a participant the experience will help but conversely watching the process as an observer has massive value to to pick up on the tools and methods used by the defence and be able to process and hopefully combat these in court.

Was a very good course and probably the best course that I have been on within the police and it is nice to have the input as this is something that isn't really covered anywhere else.

Very relevant to my role. I had no experience of court previously and now I feel like I have the basic understanding of how it works, addressing the judge and jury and how to answer questions by the defence.

Trainer was very good at presenting, charismatic and knowledgeable regarding court and overall legal system. Very useful to have this experience without going to court.

I had no experience of the court process before this lesson. The only thing I had done is sat in on a hearing case, so had an idea of the lay out of the magistrates court. I do agree with with some comments that it could be potentially done over two days. It is a long day and our group was 9 - 19:30. So although it was all useful and interesting it was difficult to maintain 100% concentration. I do feel a bit more prepared if I get called to court so I feel this day was essential to the training course.
