Founded in 1982, the US based firm Wicklander-Zulawski, (WZ), have been the industry standard in their territory for training interview techniques to the private sector.

The WZ method is a uniquely developed approach to interviewing dishonest employees or non-employees with proven results of obtaining the truth without confrontation.

WZ’s 18-step method is a structured approach to investigatory interviews and provides both new and experienced investigators with a tool to increase their effectiveness.

In an exclusive partnership with Cardinal, WZ-UK is now able to offer the 2-day Investigatory Interview Techniques seminar, where you’ll see how to conduct interviews that lead to admission from the guilty, without destroying the morale of the innocent.

This specialised seminar covers every phase of an interview, the most common obstacles you face, responses you often hear, and the critical insights and techniques you need to complete your investigations successfully.

Some of the topics covered in the seminar are:

·         Room setting and preparation

·         Interpretation of Verbal and Physical behaviour

·         W-Z methodology of non-confrontation

·         Establishing credibility

·         Handling Denials

·         Development of Admissions

·         Obtaining Admissions

·         Non-Accusatory Behavioural Interviews

·         Assumptive questions

·         Enticement questions

The learning doesn’t have to stop at the end of the 2-days though as there’s additional support materials available to purchase at reduced seminar prices.

Details of our seminar schedule for the remainder of 2009 and into 2010 will be available shortly.
