Investigations Training

We deliver nationally accredited training in diverse areas, which includes Certificate IV in Government and Diploma of Public Safety, to employees in public sector agencies and departments both at State and Commonwealth levels. We also deliver training programs to statutory bodies such as local government and water authorities.

Our courses are competency based and contextualised to client settings. We train officers using highly-practical exercises to improve skills and maximise workplace performance.

 

Our approach

At ACFEC, we use a learning pedagogy which identifies, designs, develops, implements and evaluates the clients' training needs. We implement this pedagogy through full contextualisation of learning materials and assessment tools. In addressing the clients' training needs and course design, we use the ADDIE model of project management. 

The design process gives effect to the risk management, operational, legislative and governance requirements of clients and ensures that the learning methodology is adapted to the particularities of the client.

 

REGULATORY AREAS 

ACFEC deliver training in various environments so it meets the specific needs of the location and environment, and we cover a number of regulatory areas such as:

  • Environmental Protection

delivering specific units of competency

We are able to support the clients' training needs and levels of capability through designing and developing short courses where specific units of competencies have been identified. As an example, ACFEC can assist you in identifying the relevant units of competency that minimum standards for the appointment of authorised officers, inspectors or rangers. 

 

Assessment

We develop and design assessment tools in collaboration with learning managers, senior managers and senior investigators. At ACFEC, we seek to develop assessment tools such as complex workplace simulations that reflect the operating environment of the client. This approach supports and enhances the learners' understanding of the agencies or departments regulatory approach and investigative guidelines, policies and procedures.

In applying this approach, ACFEC adopts a flipped classroom model, so the formal face-to-face training can focus on practical application of investigative skills
