Investigative Interviewing Reviews

Jim was very knowledgeable about the subject and showed a real interest in it. We did a mix of different exercises which engaged us with the course. This course has given me confidence in my investigative interviewing going forward.

Really good course - enjoyed it and got a lot from it.

Course was good and engaging.

Second course with Jim who made the two days interactive and enjoyable. Thank you.

Tim managed to tailor the training to our organisation, and implement the training provided into the follow up session and develop our skills further.

The initial training provided a good foundation to equip participants to be able to practically carry out interviews. The interviewing session itself felt very relevant and useful. I could see the benefits of the skills learnt and also how these could be applied to a number of evidence gathering methods.

Hi Tim, I wanted to express my appreciation for such a well-executed and impactful training session. From the moment it began, it was clear that the content was thoughtfully designed and delivered with real expertise. The session maintained a strong pace and focus throughout, and I found myself fully engaged from the introduction right through to the hands-on interview practice. Having previously trained police officers in interviewing, I’ve seen a range of trainer approaches, but your method stood out for its clarity, relevance, and adaptability to the SRA’s environment. The practical exercise was especially effective, allowing me to apply techniques in a realistic and constructive way. It was a great balance of theory and application. I came away with new insights and a renewed sense of confidence in my interviewing ability. Thank you for a truly professional and energising experience.

Excellent to have the opportunity to put interview skills and planning into practice and to obtain feedback from such an experienced interviewer. The role play exercise was extremely realistic and enabled me to practice the skills and techniques that had been covered in the training.

Training was really useful and informative and delivery was really engaging - looking forward to implementing what I've learned into my role.

I found Mr Sullivan to be well versed in his role as a trainer and he was able to use his professional expertise to make the training relational in every way. Quite interactive and engaging too.
