Who's Feti For?
The Participant (Interviewee)
The most amazing part about FETI is since it is a science-based, impartial interviewing methodology, we can use it on any participant, no matter their background or trauma.
Using the FETI® approach in higher education investigations allows us to gather information effectively and appropriately from all parties and witnesses, and interviewing for clarification ensures that the information gathered can be integrated into our investigations in a manner that is fair and equitable for all parties.
