Investigative Interviewing Reviews

Thank you for an excellent session. I feel a lot more confident now to go out there and conduct interviews. I feel confident that I will be able to apply the skills you have taught me.

really enjoyed the course - Tim delivered an excellent session with humour. The role play was engaging and informative

Tim was engaging and provided easy to understand content from personal experience and made it role specific to my role and my organisation. It was a very good experience.

The trainer was excellent, and some of the most engaging training I have ever had. He made a point to keep everyone included and paced himself really well so that it was easy to keep up and understand what he was saying. The content itself is familiar to me but I have not had formal training before, this was a good overview of what it is and how to apply it. I think if the SRA could have funded more days, at least one more day would have been useful. I think it was heavily tailored to police/suspect interviewing, whereas in my specific role and most of those in investigation in the SRA, we tend to have casual phone calls and take civil statements, and I think this training could have been more tailored to our specific roles rather than generic. As I think its unlikely I will do this level of interviewing in my role.

I really enjoyed the course. The trainer Tim was very engaging and I learned some useful skills

Really good course, well explained and engaging trainer. Kept it interesting and relevant to our role.

very engaging trainer and practical examples worked very well

The trainer kept everyone engaged through using role play, asking questions direct to each person in the room, giving regular breaks to ensure we did not lose our attention span. Quite useful all around particularly liked how the role play was used to show us the interview models being used in real time.

I enjoyed the course and the trainer, Jim Sullivan. The information provided and activities we engaged in will enable me to be a more confident investigator when conducting interviews. Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed this course which is very relevant to my new role. I felt the course went very fast as Jim held the interest of all the participants. He engaged with everyone and explained each topic thoroughly. His real life experiences of interviewing were particularly interesting. Excellent course and would highly recommend.
