What Our Clients Are Saying

“

What a treat it was to take this course. The facilitators were smart, engaging, honest, well spoken, fun and so much more. I didn't want the course to end, I wanted to keep soaking up the knowledge from them.

Rubin Thomlinson's Advanced Workplace Investigations certificate was recommended to me by a colleague in the field. She did so because RT are seen as leaders in the workplace investigations field and she knows my standards are high. They did not disappoint. Each and every course was well-designed, expertly taught, and engaging. More importantly they passed on their passion and their philosophy, as well as their technical knowledge. Investigations can be seen as simply hard core fact finding, but RT emphasizes an approach that focuses on restoring the health of the workplace through a lens that truly understands and respects equity and diversity. This really inspired me, and validated by second-career choice.

The Basic Investigations Technique course was a perfect introduction to the world of workplace investigations. It is a well-paced, thorough course that was broken down such that it made what is very complex material accessible to all. The instructor was engaging, professional, knowledgeable and it is clear to see why Rubin Thomlinson is a recognized leader in this field of work. I would definitely recommend for general counsel offices, investigations and HR departments. Great building block course and I look forward to taking more advanced courses with this firm.
