The trainer delivered the course in an engaging and informative manner, applying her own experience to the course materials and expanded on those provided. This allowed the group to build up a rapport with the trainer and listen to real life examples in which the information we were being taught and discussing could be applied. At times, the material in the course hand book was a little difficult to follow in regard to its application to my specific role/area of work due to the focus on criminal law and proceedings when it is very rare we would need to go to court. Areas that did feel useful were discussions about collecting evidence and the evidence that is needed to present a solid case. Despite not all areas of the course applying to my role, I found all the information interesting and fascinating to learn about.

Good trainer with lots of experience in the field. Able to make things understandable.

It would have been useful to have more examples of confiscation court cases that have taken place and to have feedback from what the barristers thought about the s16's produced by FI's and what they need from us.

It is relevant to my role and improved my knowledge of good record keeping

I found the legal side extremely interesting and Tim brought this to life really well for us. Within my role, the legal side is probably not as important as it would be for some of the other delegates but understanding the framework will support approach to interviews going forward. A lot of the information was similar to how I would already approach an interview but served to underline the correct process.

I think the course would be more relevant once you had 2 or 3 years experience. Would have been useful to know we needed a completed case for the 1 day event. The case law was useful but maybe a little too much of it. Would have been useful to have some HMRC examples. The Court overview was good but most of us have attended Court a lot in our jobs so things like a Map of the courtroom were a bit too basic (great if you have not been before) Would have liked the cross examination section to be a bit more specific to a s16 statement rather than generic cross examination. The course director was very knowledgeable and used her own examples to make the course more interesting.
