As the Learning and Development Manager responsible for the professional development of the workforce I chose to use IGC as our preferred investigation training provider because of the vast amount of current operational experience of their trainers.  The overwhelming positive feedback from delegates within Mid-Devon District Council and those with Devon, Cornwall and Somerset who attended the various courses we arranged reinforced that this was a very good decision. Outside the training delivered IGC provided excellent support and advice in investigative matters, covert surveillance and the use of RIPA. IGC are extremely professional, highly experienced and present engaging learning events. I highly recommended them.

IGC have demonstrated that they are quick to understand our objectives, scope and criteria of the tasks required and have produced great results supported by comprehensive reports which have been praised by a national regulatory organisation.

Integritas quickly identified  how we could benefit through systematically achieving enhanced incident investigation management, getting to the root causes and leading to incident reduction with a better preventative approach.

I am extremely pleased with the training provided by IGC for the CSI Stage 1 (VCSI). Completing the training in the Environmental Training Area provided a real life feel to the sessions which is rarely replicated, our trainer delivered the content professionally and it was evident he had a wealth of experience, providing us with a briefing and time limits before assessment sessions helping to recreate that real crime scene assessment feel. As a result of such accurate training I feel very confident and capable to attend volume crime back in my home force, and keen to progress and further develop. I thoroughly enjoyed the training, and if at all possible I will be requesting a return to IGC for the next stage of my career development.

I believe the CSI Stage 1 training course was excellent in a number of ways; it was delivered by instructors who really know the forensic industry, and within an Environmental Training Area which is matched by no other similar courses. Because of this, I passed the course feeling confident in my skills to be an operational VCSI at my home force. The instructor was knowledgable, up to date with current forensic developments, such as ISO 17020, and was welcoming to different forces’ Standard Operating Procedures. Moreover, the support provided by IGC has not ceased after the course, as all documents/lectures given are continuously available to IGC alumni online. I enjoyed every aspect of the course and hope to return for the Stage 2 course in the future.

Only positive things are to be said about this course, with the perfect training facility we were able to really learn all the skills required as a Stage 1 CSI. Delivered in a well-structured and well-presented training package IGC went above and beyond to ensure we left feeling confident and ready to be operational in the world of Crime Scene Investigation. The support didn’t end with the course either, with open approach to training you left feeling comfortable to ask for advice or answers to any questions you may have when you start work operationally.

10 out of 10 IGC.
