Role Play

The feedback we receive from all delegates confirms how vital it was to them that role play formed an integral part of their training and, without exception, everyone experienced a significant improvement in their communication skills, confidence, awareness and familiarity with the process.

Trevor will prepare you for the rigours of cross examination and to test this you will take part in a mock-trial and experience being cross-examined by Stephen. This will be repeated until you are completely comfortable and confident with the process.

Our programmes are inter-active; you may ask questions at any time and we actively encourage discussion.

You will receive constructive feedback throughout the programme and at its conclusion.
