In the world of research and information gathering, skills in conducting interrogations and interviews are crucial. The primary goal of an interrogation or interview is to obtain in-depth background information or intelligence, which plays a fundamental role in uncovering the truth or gathering essential information for a particular investigation or operation. This form of information collection is known as ‘Human Intelligence’ (HUMINT).
Our training in interrogation, interview techniques, and body language is designed to equip professionals with practical and effective techniques for conducting conversations and conducting interrogations and interviews. During this intensive training, participants are immersed in a series of practical interrogation and interview techniques that have been scientifically proven to be effective. What sets this training apart is the integrated approach that combines interrogation techniques with statement analysis and the ability to ‘read’ body language and micro-expressions.
The training enables participants to:
To learn and practice various interrogation and interview techniques with a professional actor, providing a realistic learning experience.
To apply statement analysis to evaluate the consistency and truthfulness of the obtained information.
To gain insight into body language and micro-expressions for a deeper understanding of the non-verbal communication of the interviewee.
The synergy of the right interrogation technique, statement analysis, and body language forms a solid foundation for effectively interviewing and interrogating individuals and gathering crucial background information. Participants find our training particularly applicable and practical. The theory presented during the lessons is regularly complemented with practical exercises, allowing the learned methods to be immediately applied in the participants’ daily professional practices. With the skills and knowledge acquired during this training, participants are well-equipped to conduct effective interrogations and interviews in their professional pursuits.
