Short Courses

Anti-Fraud and Transparency Policy Making (1 Week)

Because transparency is a necessary factor to promote and continuity in any organisation, this course will be of benefit to professionals in a variety of capacities.

Courtroom Skills (1 to 2 Weeks)

The witness box is a lonely place. Many witnesses or indeed experts feel they are on trial, standing in the dock rather than giving independent testimony to assist the court. Often these people are unfamiliar with this environment as few cases go to full trial, but a poor performance can undermine confidence and credibility.

This Courtroom Skills training is an intensive one/two week, highly practical and experimental training course. This is no mere lecture with hints and tips. An experienced lawyer, who is a trained trainer, will examine the theory, practice and procedure of giving evidence, and demystifying the process. This course will be run in partnership with Nottingham Trent University whose facilities are set up for such activity. An experienced Magistrate will be presiding over the proceedings to bring a sense of realism to this training.

To keep pace with these events this course will develop skills to keep ahead of the criminal fraternity.
