Assessment Details
Following the completion of the course, you will engage in the Investigation Simulator. Here, you will conduct an online inquiry into an incident, involving tasks such as collecting evidence, managing witness interviews, and formulating an action plan. The evaluation involves submitting an online action plan outlining the immediate, underlying, and root causes of the incident, along with your suggested measures to prevent recurrence.
