Practical Investigation Skills™

A world-class course for developing capability and knowledge to conduct workplace investigations

Course overview

The Practical Investigation Skills™ course is a comprehensive two-day programme designed to equip delegates with the expertise to conduct effective workplace investigations. Participants will learn how to set up, manage, and report on investigations, covering every step from defining terms of reference to interviewing, evidence gathering, and report writing.

The course also prepares attendees to present findings and provide evidence at panels and appeals when necessary. Upon completion, delegates may refer themselves as a TCM Accredited Investigator, demonstrating their competency and commitment to excellence in workplace investigations.

Who should attend

This course is ideal for in-house investigators, consultants, HR professionals, and managers tasked with handling workplace investigations. It is particularly relevant for those addressing disciplinary matters, allegations of bullying, harassment, or discrimination, where outcomes may include formal warnings or dismissals. Perfect for professionals seeking to enhance their investigation skills and ensure fair, thorough, and defensible outcomes.

TCM provided a knowledgeable tutor and the learners dashboard gave a wealth of information into the subject being taught. Great that the learner can then access this dashboard even after completion of the course. Everything in one place!
