Investigation Certificate

Formations

Upcoming Dates

The Investigation Certificate will be offered again in fall 2025. It will be held in person in downtown Montreal.

This four (4) day course is designed for anyone who is responsible for investigating complaints of harassment in the workplace. Through this course, you will acquire in-depth knowledge of investigations, including methodology, conducting interviews, analysis and report drafting.

Hands-On Training

In addition to reviewing the fundamental principles of investigations, you will have the opportunity to take part in a carefully designed mock investigation, which will take you through all the stages of an investigation, from its initiation to the delivery of the final report. This immersive approach will allow you to actually experience an investigation and, in doing so, become familiar with how to deal with complaints in a structured and effective way while avoiding common pitfalls.

Your Toolbox

As part of the training, you will receive a copy of the Investigator’s Guide, which includes tools and templates for the various stages of an investigation. This guide will be an invaluable resource for your professional practice.

Certificate and Continuing Education

At the end of this course, each participant will receive a certificate of attendance. This document will attest to the skills and knowledge acquired during the four (4) days.

As part of the mandatory continuing education required by the Barreau du Québec, the Chambre des notaires du Québec and the Ordre des conseillers en ressources humaines et en relations industrielles agréés du Québec, participants select the training activities that are relevant to the practice of their profession and that best meet their needs. A certificate of attendance will be issued, but recognition of the provider is no longer required. It is the participant’s responsibility to declare their training hours.

If you have any questions about the declaration and recognition of continuing education activities, please contact the relevant professional orders directly.
