"Investigator Upgrade” is the newest and most contemporary training product in the market for those already in the investigative field, bringing together investigators from both the government and business sectors. Together they can develop their professional and personal skills, as well as have the opportunity to network with other practicing investigators.  It is headed up by Ray Foster and Wayne Nixon, who are currently involved in investigator training in Victoria, delivering packages across the board.

Program presenters are all active in the investigation and training fields, with many years of hands on experience in both private and government areas.  “Investigator Upgrade” brings real experience and contemporary training to the table for your investigators to use.

 The Training

Two (2)  unique training programs have been specially designed for those investigators desirous of upgrading their skills and confidence in this specialized profession.  The first is a one week forum that re-affirms the broad principles of investigations, “Investigator Upgrade” looks at the rules of evidence, evidence collection, investigation planning and avenues of enquiry.  A special focus is on    interviewing skills – probably the most important skill required by all investigators, in eliciting information from witnesses and suspects.  It also concentrates on how to prepare, plan and organise an interview of a suspect or person of interest.  Using the now worldwide recognised cognitive interviewing model - P.E.A.C.E. - students will come away with enhanced skills that lead to the prospect of better outcomes.  The second is a two day investigative interviewing package only as described above.

The forum provides formal lectures and tutorials, as well as practical application of their learning.  It also garners opportunities for networking, liaison and development of professional partnerships.  Having a broad spectrum of investigation professionals together provides a unique opportunity to compare processes and skills from other areas.

 Ray and Wayne are happy to talk to you about any specific training or other programs you might require for in-house training at your business as well.  We conduct our training at the “Airlie Police College” in Domain Rd. South Yarra, as numbers permit.

GRAHAM WHITESIDE – Proprietor -         WHITESIDE ANDREWS (CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT)

 I have been in practice for over 40 years and specialize in tax advantaged finance and business restructuring. I am also providing estate planning services for preparation of effective wills.

My background includes employment in Government and industry but the bulk of my working life has been spent in the provision of accounting and taxation services to small and medium sized business owners.         

I was a partner in Deloitte providing these services to a multitude of clients for 10 years.

I have retained a small client base of successful clients and aim to add more of the same over the next 2-3 years. The small client numbers provide me with the opportunity to service them efficiently and quickly.

My fees are established with the client on a set basis at the start of the year – the client knows what his costs will be – no surprises – and also that he can contact me without fear of being charged for every minute of time.

I am happy to work with positive and ambitious people to achieve the type of business and lifestyle they would like to enjoy.
