Bond Solon Reviews

Excellent

Richard stone is worth his weight in gold.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I had previously been trained 'in house' for an add-on role in team as an open source investigator and, on reflection, that training was insufficient for the duties I was expected to undertake. I would (and will be) recommending that my employer consider this training for colleagues taking on the OSI function as an add-on to their role.

Excellent course and well taught, great involvement with all students

Richard was excellent. Clearly knowledgeable and clear in delivery. He answered a questions and took time to find answers not so readily available. Course length, pace and content was also very good.

Very informative session Trainer was very knowledgeable and kept the day interesting/engaging

The trainer had extensive knowledge, had a confident and engaging delivery style. The training was pitched at the right level and the examples used were really helpful in allowing participants to apply powers and key points to real life cases and to make sure nothing gets missed in preparation of s16 POCA statements.

Thank you to the trainer delivering this course.

It would have been useful to have more examples of confiscation court cases that have taken place and to have feedback from what the barristers thought about the s16's produced by FI's and what they need from us.

Trainer very knowledgeable and came across very well. Excellent knowledge of case law and how it could be applied. Difficult for NI officers as course content was for Eng and Wales and therefore I was continually having to think of NI equivalent sections of the law. No Crim Procedure Rules in NI. For NI officers we would need additional course applicable to the jurisdiction and how it works in practice with PPS/High Court and International. It would have been useful to have had a bespoke course for NI and then attend this course as there is always the possibility of NI officers doing confiscations in Eng & Wales.
