Testimonials

This course was absolutely outstanding. The volume of content delivered over just one week was immense, yet presented in a way that was clear, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable. The training team were exceptional—highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals who brought real passion and expertise to every session.

Personally, this course has been transformative. I now feel confident and enthusiastic about using cameras to their full potential and incorporating light sources more effectively to improve the quality of the evidence I capture. It’s a solid 10/10 experience.

That said, it’s definitely geared towards those with a more advanced skill set—the title says it all!

The course was brilliant, the trainers were so patient, helpful, reassuring, kind, knowledgeable and more. You can tell they really care about the students that pass through the course and having contact after the course is over is really heartwarming too. 

The course offers lots of opportunity to be individualised, students can request extra help with any topics and it will be given and trainers will stay late to offer this help.

Melanie, Sarah and Jess,

It has been great seeing so much going on for the last 6 weeks and its been lovely chatting for the last couple of days. 

Thank you for letting me sit in on a couple of mock courts, read up on exhibit collection, giving me recommendations and things to look up, emails and LinkedIn connections.  Oh and most importantly cake and chocolate!

Hopefully see you all in the near future!

... just to say, I enjoyed the opportunity to gain further insight into the way you teach and approach the mock court examination set-ups this afternoon. It’s always impressive to see the level of professionalism, presence, and engagement you bring onto campus with all that you do.

I really enjoyed the training, learnt a lot in a short space of time but didn’t feel too overwhelmed throughout. Training was at a good pace for me to pick the information up. All the trainers were lovely and supportive, even when I had a few days annual leave during the course everyone was more than happy to help me catch up on what I missed and put extra time in to support me.

I thought that this course was brilliant. Sarah and Jess made me feel so welcomed and at home and all lecturers/teachers were very encouraging and clearly very knowledgeable. The content was taught very well and never seemed like too much of an information overload. I particularly enjoyed the photography aspect of the course as I feel I learnt so much in such a short time and became quite proud of some of the photographs that I took. 

I would really like to thank all tutors for all their help and support throughout the process and I will genuinely miss seeing everyone.

I really cannot fault how the course was run in any way and would recommend this course to any force. From the facilities to the staff everything went very well. I felt that it really puts into perspective your role going forward back into force as a crime scene manager. It definitely pushed and challenged me in a positive way. The practical's were very good and it gave you an opportunity to learn and challenge yourself in a safe environment. Although all the tutors pushed everyone i thought their support was amazing and really appreciated their efforts. Nothing was to much to ask and as a team we were supported from start to finish. Its not often you go on courses and actually want to stay in touch with the people you have met from staff to pupils. Crime Scene Mangers Course 24/01

I had a very great learning experience throughout the 3 weeks despite being an international participant! 🙂 Accommodation being just opposite class was also a great plus point since we are all pretty drained daily.  Definitely not something I would get to experience on such a scale often, or maybe ever again, so I'm glad to have been there!

Excellent tutors and facilities at Cranfield. I was worried about photography before my course, having never really picked up a camera, but now, after the training, I feel that it is one of my strengths! Thank you to all involved for making the last 6 weeks a great learning experience.

Sarah was the glue that held the two lecture days together.  I learnt so much from her and she explained everything in a very simple and informative way that left me feeling very confident with the investigation and evidence collection despite knowing nothin from the beginning.

Sarah's teaching style was so interesting and informative and her anecdotes really helped emphasise key points.  She was very professional in her approach too, which made me very confident in her abilities as a CSI so I felt like I was learning from the best.  I definitely really enjoyed her teaching style and her lectures.
