4.9 (225 reviews)
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.

Rob was engaging from the start - the IT within the venue failed yet I felt it gave a better experience as Rob discussed the course content rather than review the material on power point. There was good engagement from the attendees. Everyone asked questions and they were well answered by Rob, it was a comfortable learning environment. Rob described various personal experiences which, for me, added value to the learning experience.

The trainer had a wealth of experiencing which was extremely interesting and provided a great learning opportunity in itself. listening and group discussions on case studies and experience encouraged the group to impart their experiences, good and bad which raised questions and led to further discussions tips and pointers which were really useful.

This was a really helpful day in my detective training. Court is something that I know for myself but also many others, can create a lot of anxiety and especially being cross-examined. This can also be something that takes years to ever happen and so learning tips is really helpful. The learning was also not taught in a way that was full on, it was well paced, true examples were provided for context and then being able to put it into practice helped to give perspective and create a memory.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one day course and think it is imperative to have on our DDP course and for other future trainee detectives. I have made a suggestion to our own training team to consider using this course for our initial training as it is highly probable that all officers at some point in their career will have to attend court at one time or another. I found Rob very interesting and highly knowledgeable. This course has made me feel immensely more confident for attending court.
