The Level One Course utilizes a combination of theory-based lectures and hands-on practical exercises involving group tasks and investigation scenarios with professional actors.

During Level Two, the majority of time in the Program is spent on interviewing witnesses; with interviews occurring throughout Level Two. Participants are guided through interviewing witnesses; developing a witness statement, obtaining witness signature for the statement and preparing questions for the witnesses.  On the completion of witness interviews, participants prepare for and conduct re-direct interviews with the primary parties. The areas of practical learning in Level Two are:

Interview Preparation
Witness Interviews 
Statement Development and Signature
Preparation for re-direct interviews
Re-direct interviews 
Weighing evidence and forming conclusions
Providing evidence to support conclusions

In Level Two we truly take it to the next level. There are more interviews, but we will advance the conversation to explore the Art of interviewing, the subtleties, not just the basics. The Level Two program focuses intensely on the immediate feedback of our experienced facilitator.
