Three practical lessons combine clear explanations, fictional case decisions and worked answers. No trainer is required. Allow approximately 60–90 minutes including practice and assessment, split into short sessions to suit you.

Your learning journey
- Test competing explanations — Plan enquiries that could disprove your preferred explanation, not merely collect support for it.
- Resolve conflicts and strengthen the chain — Explain each causal link, retain contradictions and distinguish confidence from consensus.
- Turn a reviewed finding into measurable improvement — Connect a supported finding to an accountable action and an effectiveness review across the suite.
Practice and assessment
Use a notebook or an authorised fictional training workspace. Do not upload real witness statements or company evidence to a demonstration. Each lesson includes a task and an expandable worked answer. The final assessment has ten questions worth one point each. Seven correct answers achieve the 70% pass mark. Complete the required learning and assessment to earn the course certificate.
