2 LEARNING & ASSESSMENT 2 How wll I learn? We beleve that most learners are self motvated and learn best f they are fully engaged wth materal that s clearly related to the real problems they face. Most mportantly we beleve learners need the chance to practce, get feedback, and make sense of ther learnng for themselves. What help wll I get?

Learnng for Grown Ups In the ACFS programme we ensure all learnng actvtes embrace what we know about the way adults learn. Ths s that adult learners are self drectng; through ther own experence adult learners provde a rch resource for both ther own learnng and the learnng of others; that real lfe problems faced by learners provde the best bass for effectve learnng and that adult learners are naturally curous about the world and provde ther own nternal motvaton to learn. These are not jargon phrases sutable only for the world of the HR professonal. We frmly beleve that our role s to facltate learnng through provdng a motvatng and exctng envronment for the learner. Learnng actvtes must be based on real lfe ssues facng the delegates.

Two n course tests and a post course assgnment where you revew how your organsaton supports nvestgatons through ntellgence. Intellgence s not optonal The problem wth ntellgence s that t s often seen as an optonal extra to the real work of nvestgaton. Intellgence used on an ad-hoc bass n ths way may have some benefts, but t can never be truly effectve. All organsatons depend on nformaton to make decsons and fndng the rght nformaton s a key task on whch ther busness depends. All companes have to dscover what ther customers want and what ther compettors are dong. The process of fndng out ths ntellgence s not ancllary to ther busness t must be nformng the company s decsons every step of the way. Fraud nvestgatons are no dfferent. wll be able to: 1.
