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.

I didn't think the course worked well online and would have been better in person, sometimes there was delays and it was a bit awkward rather than free flowing. The trainers lack of IT skills slowed the training down. Sometimes we were put into rooms on teams for too long for the task. The course was delayed starting due to IT problems and we still had a full hour for lunch and breaks as well. Had the trainer had better IT stills the course could probably have been run in half a day.

I thought Rob Gray was absolutely brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and professional. It was clear to me that he really took the time to go through all of our statements, and find real and genuine things to grill us on which therefore made it more realistic and allowed me to feel the pressure and nerves so that when the time comes I will know exactly how it will make me feel and then I can calm myself down knowing that it is not as scary as it seems and that really I shouldn't be scared of giving evidence. I also like how Rob gave each one of us a fair and deserved grilling despite there being so many of us in the class! I now know that I can turn to the judge and ask that I be given time to answer the question properly should the barrister talk over me. I also feel empowered now because I know that when the defence barrister attacks witnesses, it is never personal and is simply a case of them doing their job. I also understand that I should not try to anticipate what I will be asked and try not to think too far ahead, instead I should just answer the question put in front of me. Thank you very much, Rob

Rob Grey was an amazing trainer he came in and had an enormous amount of knowledge and give such good tips and tricks for dealing with a cross examination and being in the box. It was one of my favourite days on the whole 5 week course.

Very Informative and left me with greater understanding of how to give good evidence in court as a professional witness. Emailing the course material directly would improve the course by ensuring we have the material prior to the course.
