Our PSP40416 Certificate IV in Government Investigations encompasses two specialist streams, offering generic skills that suit both administrative and criminal investigation roles. It offers vital communication and interviewing skills while stepping inside practical responsibilities such as initiating, planning, conducting and completing investigations. It is particularly valuable to those who wish to develop the skills required to conduct an investigation using appropriate processes in accordance with procedural fairness and legislative requirements.
