Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
This course will benefit all professionals who either assist in preparing cases for court or appear in courts and tribunals taking the role of the advocate. This course is designed to equip learners with the necessary skills and knowledge for them to carry out the role of the advocate effectively, including questioning witnesses and making speeches at the hearing. This can be a daunting responsibility and cases can be won or lost on the basis of the advocacy. This practical, hands-on advocacy training course will equip learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out this role and will give them a greater understanding of how cases must be prepared.
The Advocacy training course can count towards the 8-day nationally recognised qualification – the Advanced Professional Certificate in Investigative Practice – or towards the 2-day Professional Award in Advocacy.
