Advanced Investigation Techniques is ideal for professionals working in the private sector who have completed the Workplace Investigations and Interviewing course (BTEC Level 4) or already have knowledge and experience of workplace investigations and interviews. The comprehensive syllabus covers: ethics, principles and policy of investigation; incident scene management and evidence recovery; and human factors including interview skills, problem solving and report preparation.

The awarding body, Industry Qualifications, has a reputation for being best in class in terms of assessment integrity and customer service. The organisation is approved by the UK’s regulators of qualifications: Ofqual, CCEA, Qualifications Wales and SQA.

Sarah Hayward-Turton, Head of Sales at Linx International Group, states: “We are proud that this important and extremely relevant course has the deserved prestige of IQ Level 5 accreditation.

“When conducting a workplace investigation, adherence to due process and attention to detail is everything. This course gives those responsible the guidance, skills and confidence to take control and handle the investigation correctly, fairly and consistently.”

The next Advanced Investigation Techniques course takes place in July next year in Oxford and the company can also deliver the course in-house.
