Steve Berry –
Very clear instructions
Easy to digest material
Videos are abit ‘stuck in the 80’s” perhaps need updating abit
I did find that one of the links in the manual was out of date, may need to give the documents a review every so often to ensure that the links are still correct and relevant.
Would be good to be able to test your understanding of what information should be recorded separately. There is one example in the manual, but I feel that I would have benefitted from a little exercise where you have to break down which information can be put on one report.
Feedback from my interviewer was that the information provided in this course was better than the internal communications that the Police were given when they changed from 5x5x5 to 3x5x2.

Really interesting, lots of information clearly laid out in a short course. Recommended. As an initial introduction to the complexity of the methods involved might want to consider breaking down some of the sections even further to eight or even nine modules, with greater details on the confidence matrix (this could be very helpful when preparing a briefing or written report), dissemination, report completion, and the risk assessment. Maybe these are things that are reinforced on the job. (?)

The course was good as it explained the new evaluation codes for intelligence and gave me a better understanding.

Some quiz questions required re- evaluation before answering – Had to spend longer reading them and reviewing before answering. A great course
