The Words Have It
This course specializes in linguistic – word – analysis (assessing veracity through analyzing the spoken and written word). The student only needs to have a basic knowledge of the English language. With that basic knowledge, through a full or half day training, your investigators/staff will have applicable real world skills that will greatly assist in detecting deception. The skills can be used in all aspects of life from professional to personal relationships. But most importantly the skills can assist in developing and maintaining honest employees and working with quality vendors.
This course provides the new or experienced investigator with insight into how specific words are used in statements and ways the investigator can analyze and exploit these words in assessing the veracity of the statement. By the end of the full course the student will have tangible skills to help assess veracity and glean motivations from the subject’s words. A valuable tool in an investigator’s arsenal of investigative techniques.
This course is normally offered in a four or eight-hour block depending on the level of depth desired by the student. Both courses are designed to give the student or experienced investigator a working knowledge and practical skills they can apply to their daily work.
