COURSE OVERVIEW

Quickly get to the truth in fact-finding investigations by learning to think and act like a detective

Interviewing people is a difficult skill to master. When faced with uncooperative, evasive or even deceptive interviewees, it’s hard to extract the information you need.

And sometimes you’re simply talking to someone who can’t remember the facts.

Whether you’re interviewing employees for HR issues, or you’re investigating customer complaints, miss-selling or potential fraud, being able to get to the truth is crucial.

 

In fact, it’s estimated that 85% of all information collected in a fact-finding investigation is done so by speaking to people.

 

So instead of relying on intuition, guesswork, or just standard questioning, develop advanced interviewing skills at our practical one-day course in London.
