Pre Course
The pre-course for the Investigations module will be sent out individually to you by the Course Manager; however, you may download the links to the documents to commence the pre-course study. Pre-course assessment is to be returned to the Course Manager no later than 10 working days prior to the commencement of the course. Should there be trainees who have been selected late for this course, they are to contact the Course Manager and arrange an alternate timeframe for the completion of the pre-course study guide.
The aim of the pre-course is to be a self-paced guide as a prelude to the residential phase of the course. The pre-course will lead you through the various legislative and investigative procedures relating to Service Police investigations.
The pre-course study guide forms the formative linkage between the theoretical and the practical components of this module. The completion of the readings and the confirmatory questions will ensure you are conversant with the relevant doctrine, documentation, procedures and will facilitate a successful residential phase of the course.
