AI summary of reviews

Interactive court and inquiry role-play is the course’s distinctive strength, giving attendees a realistic taste of questioning while building confidence for giving evidence. They value knowledgeable, experienced trainers who explain complex content accessibly, adapt it to different roles and draw on real-life examples. Practical case studies, discussion and feedback make key points—such as note-taking, answering techniques and decision-making—easy to apply at work. Some attendees find the scope or materials less aligned with expectations.

The trainer seemed highly informed re the content matters however there were some issues re the course contents. The training was then done off hand based on some questions that applied to our area so felt a little disjointed in regards to the training and course material.

The course did not fully deliver on the original brief or expectations set beforehand. Some key topics that were anticipated were either only briefly touched on or not covered at all. This made it difficult to connect the learning outcomes with the objectives that initially motivated my participation. In summary, while the course had value and provided useful takeaways, it fell short of its potential. With better alignment to the original brief, clearer structure, and deeper exploration of key topics, it could have been a much more impactful learning experience.

I was expecting a course aimed at strategic or tactical leaders being at enquiries and under examination. The course was more focused on introductory level training for those with limited experience. Good content for those with limited experience but not what I was expecting for more expected personnel.

I understood this to be training for strategic officers (I only attended as no police execs were spare). The content was mostly basic, probably a suitable introduction for people with little or no knowledge of the courts. The council sent junior EPO's, which the training was suitable for, but could have been done more effectively in house.

I appreciate that the course was general in a sense but it would have been great to have some written material to reinforce the learning from today
