Course Summary
Vestigo Consulting in partnership with Platinum3p are delighted to offer this unique training experience.
This is a hands on, practical and immersive course suitable for those who use the internet to conduct covert investigations such as test purchase, online surveillance and other covert online investigations.
The subjects dealt with will enhance the effectiveness of any investigator conducting Internet investigations.
Delegates will grapple with several online exercises throughout the course with a final interactive exercise designed to test participants online against real people.
Delegates will also build personal confidence in this area of expertise and have an opportunity to identify how they will use new knowledge and skills in the working environment.
The course will be facilitated by two former police online undercover officers and trainers, an accomplished business psychologist and a former police senior investigating officer to provide the depth of knowledge and tradecraft required when operating in this challenging area of business.
The facilitators are current practitioners in their fields, ensuring delegates are provided with training based on recent and authentic operational experiences.
Sessions will be approached from an operational perspective, with psychological issues explored to ensure delegates can operate safely whilst maximising investigative opportunities.
This course will be delivered over 5 days.
