What our students say:
"In April 2010 I enrolled on a Criminal Psychology Course with NCC Home Learning. I had been away from study for nearly 6 years and I decided I would like to study something interesting and this course was something that has always interested me as why does crime occur? For example is it nature or nurture? Is it society or political interference? Does the media play a role?
At first I was a little nervous especially when I saw all the additional reading however these are there as tools to help and books can be bought off Amazon for a few pound and the internet always has good information on. I did at first not really understand the concept of referencing as this was a different level to what I had previously studied, however my tutor was always on hand and gave me advice on this and how to formulate my essays to place my own stamp upon them, which I did and I ended up getting better feedback and grew in confidence as the course progressed. I would say that from inception of the course all staff I was involved with were helpful and always on hand and the course was very well written and I enjoyed studying it so much I enrolled on a Diploma In Forensic Psychology before completing the Criminal Psychology Course (which I am now enjoying). Overall I would say to anybody considering learning this course to do it."
S Hodgins, Birmingham - Criminal Psychology Diploma
"I have not studied for over 20 years so starting home learning was a huge step for me. The Criminal Psychology course material I received was excellent and I found myself wanting to research more about the topics I was studying before any essays were sent in. Tom my tutor was fantastic always on hand if I had any queries. His feedback was excellent I learnt so much from him. I would definitely recommend Home learning, working at your own pace and gaining knowledge as well as receiving a qualification at the end of it."
S Noakes - Liverpool, Criminal Psychology Diploma
"I am really enjoying this course as it has always been a subject of interest to me. The essays really get down to the nitty gritty. You do need to extra research which I have found amazing as when I start reading into an area I can't seem to stop!!"
L Lewis - Liverpool, Criminal Psychology Diploma
“I was really excited to get stuck into my Criminal Psychology course and I was not disappointed! The tutor support was excellent and a huge reassurance. The course materials were fascinating and the assignments seemed more like a hobby than homework!
I have just received my Criminal Psychology course Diploma Certificate and am so thrilled I am now looking into doing a second course with NCC Home Learning!”
P Davies - Southampton, Criminal Psychology Diploma
