Witness courses advantages
Our online courses offer several distinct advantages for witnesses. These include:
Gain witness skills, understanding and confidence
Ability for witnesses to conduct such courses in their own time, and at a time convenient for them
Fully independent and ethical
Courses prepared and delivered by practising legal professionals
Ability for witnesses to conduct these courses flexibly. There is no need to do the entire course in one sitting. The creation of a series of shorter modules on various topics allows a witness to learn in shorter segments, rather than being exposed to an entire session in one hit
Ability for witnesses to fit the courses in around other commitments – work, family, travel etc.
The ability for witnesses to undertake the sessions remotely, throughout Australia or worldwide, from the comfort of their own home or office
The ability for witnesses to go back and re-watch and re-consider certain key parts of the training
The option for witnesses to conduct further study and gain practical experience through subsequent intensive, live training workshops run in small groups with our trainers
Focus on practical training and skills in additional to fundamentals
