Police Courtroom Skills Training - Witness Familiarisation reviews

4.9 (228 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.

This has to be one of the best courses of my career (24 years!). I attended thinking "Why am I attending this course when I have been to court many times?", but embraced the further learning opportunity and I am thankful I did, as I have come away with good knowledge of tactics used by Defence barristers and tools I can use against these. I would recommend this course to everyone who attends court to give evidence. It was very well delivered at a good pace and the extremely knowledgeable trainer gave opportunity for examples to be given. The small number of attendees made this easier. The IT issue made it a better experience for me, as instead of focusing on what was written on a Powerpoint presentation, I was able to focus and engage on the trainer and process the information better (I have dyslexia). Although the cross examination scenario is uncomfortable, it is much less so than being in court for real and enabled me to try out some of the techniques in a safe environment and to see the impact and benefits. I left the course with a feeling of elation (I was still 'buzzing' when I arrived home) and a new level of confidence, ahead of pending court trials where I am looking forward to using the techniques taught (Stick to the Brick and Use the Judge). Thank you so very much Rob.

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.
