Approach

Activities and case studies are used as part of the course to ensure that the key knowledge and skills are practiced. To facilitate learning and increase self-awareness, participants complete a pre-training questionnaire to rate their current interviewer skills. This programme encourages participant discussion to ensure a thorough understanding of the key points and their application. Real life examples will be used throughout to ensure practicality and interest. Participants will learn best practice and from others’ experience.
