New to forum

Hi All,
        I am currently new to the Investigator forum and Cert III in Investigations. I was looking for any feedback on anyone who has completed Cert III in Investigations, and has had any luck finding work experience or a similar scenario. I would appreciate any advice or direction, as I aim to learn and experience anything I can in this exciting Industry.
       Thanks

Hi, and welcome.

I am not able to speak from experience either as I am slowly working through the course in my spare time, (don't have much). But I think my advise is, make every effort on the assignments, network effectively during the time you are studying and speak to the right people. Don't take for granted that work will come to you just because you have completed a course. It's a competitive field so going the extra yard is essential. As mum always said, do something you love, but make sure you have something reliable to fall back on. If something is as easy as it sounds, or as people try to make it sound, then every man and his blind dog would be doing it. I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic.

PS: I do however believe that you have chosen the correct course provider, very experienced in their field..... Good Luck

Hi Eduard,
               Thank you for finding time to reply to my post. I too am studying Cert III on the side, of my full time job now. Thanks for you advice, I am slowly understanding that realistically it is a very difficult industry to get a head start in. Good luck with your course.

Kind regards,
