“The tutor’s knowledge brought the subjects to life for me in a really engaging way. Really got a lot out of the training, the presenter was able to explain the subjects in a way which brought them to life. The whole day was really useful, but the case study tests were great for making you consider the implications of how an expert witness conducts themselves. The content was delivered in a way which made it really interesting.”
