Interesting and engaging

Emma was very knowledgeable and helpful, she made the course very enjoyable. Thank you Emma

I thought the trainer was outstanding. Knew his field and more importantly was able to deliver what he knew with a genuine passion for the subject. His answers to questions were clear, there was no ambiguity. The trainer has helped me as a trainee collision investigator become more confident about what lies ahead as an expert witness in court. Although I haven't yet written a formal report myself I now feel more confident when this day arises.

Intensive 2 day course, useful refresher and increase of learning court room skills, tactics used and how to deal with them. What could easily be a heavy and dry subject, lifted and injected with life by the passion, good humour and experience of the trainer.

Great session
