How to Gain a Qualification in Workplace Investigating

“a fantastic course which I would definitely recommend to others! The content was spot on and the material very well presented.”

Last week 12 delegates representing a variety of international and UK-based organisations successfully completed the first Workplace Investigation and Interviewing Course at ARC’s training centre in Berkshire. Delivered by Angus Darroch-Warren, the course is an approved Edexcel Level 4 Professional Award and is believed to be the first course of this type to receive this recognition in the UK.

The delegates learnt how to conduct effective and legally compliant workplace investigations. Delegates studied theoretical concepts in the classroom, covering topics such as risk management, the law, criminal and civil procedure, the disciplinary process and communication skills. They were also tasked with managing a set of practical scenarios which required them to collect and analyse investigation material, conduct interviews and present their findings in a workplace context. In the words of one delegate it was a “fantastic course which I would definitely recommend to others! The content was spot on and the material very well presented.”

The next Edexcel Level 4 Professional Award in Workplace Investigations and Interviewing Course takes place 3-6 October. This is becoming a very popular course, so do be sure to register early, by contacting Janet.
