About this course
This comprehensive bundle includes Level 4 Diplomas in Forensic Science, Criminology, and Criminal Psychology, giving you a deep, well-rounded understanding of the criminal justice system, investigative techniques, and the psychological drivers behind crime. Whether you're looking to pursue a career in criminal justice or simply want to expand your knowledge, this comprehensive bundle delivers real insight and real value.
Forensic Science Diploma Level 4
Advance your understanding of crime scene investigation with this in-depth course designed for those looking to deepen their scientific knowledge in the field of forensics. Across 20 detailed modules, you’ll explore the full spectrum of forensic evidence—from biological materials, fingerprints and firearms to digital data, toxicology, explosives and questioned documents. You'll also examine forensic disciplines such as pathology, anthropology, entomology and odontology, gaining insight into how professionals identify human remains, estimate time of death, and link suspects to crime scenes.
The course offers a progression from Level 3, with more complex content, practical analysis and a strong emphasis on maintaining the chain of evidence throughout all forensic processes. Assessment is via tutor-marked assignments, and study is fully flexible, making it ideal for learners balancing other commitments.
Criminology Advanced Diploma Level 4
This advanced criminology course explores the causes, patterns and societal responses to crime in greater depth. You'll investigate key debates in criminological theory and policy, focusing on persistent crime challenges such as youth offending, violence, drug-related crime, and anti-social behaviour. The course encourages you to think critically about crime in contemporary Britain, examine how political and social attitudes shape criminal justice responses, and explore the tension between public opinion, evidence, and policymaking. Designed to help you build a broader and more thoughtful understanding of crime and its impact, the course introduces fresh perspectives and ideas that go beyond surface-level explanations.
Criminal Psychology Diploma Level 4
Understand what drives criminal behaviour in this comprehensive Level 4 course exploring the psychological roots of crime. With 17 modules to complete, you'll cover major psychological, biological, sociological and developmental theories of offending, while also examining specific crime types such as arson, sexual offences, terrorism, and stalking. Topics like addiction, mental health and offender profiling are also explored in detail, giving you a broad yet focused look into the mind of the criminal.
This course not only looks at the factors that influence criminality, but also how psychology contributes to prevention, investigation, prosecution and rehabilitation. You’ll learn to organise your thinking through essay-based assignments, develop analytical skills, and build a strong foundation for careers in criminal psychology or future degree-level study. You’ll complete written tasks throughout the course to help consolidate your learning, and with full tutor support, you’ll be guided every step of the way. Like the other courses in this bundle, you can study flexibly and at your own pace.
Why Study All Three?
Studying these three Level 4 diplomas together gives you a well-rounded view of crime and the criminal justice system. Each course offers valuable insights on its own, but together they help you understand how evidence is gathered, why people commit crimes, and how society responds to them.
You’ll build your knowledge from different angles, improve your critical thinking, and develop a clearer understanding of how the world of crime really works. This bundle is a great choice if you’re keen to explore the subject in more depth.
You will be assigned a personal tutor who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have throughout the duration of your studies on our dedicated learning portal. The learner will have access to tutor support via our dedicated learning portal.

Learner FAQs
These FAQs relate specifically to this course, for our general FAQs click here
NCC originally stood for the National Consortium of FE (Further Education) Colleges. This brought together the FE Colleges to achieve the best provision. Regular national meetings were attended by both Colleges and Government agencies who funded them. This was very helpful to them both to best deliver training to their students.
For more than 25 years NCC has supplied FE Colleges with learning materials as well as student marketing.
NCC now specialise in online training of a very high quality to students both self-funded, paid for by schools, employers and training providers.
Distance learning is the most flexible and convenient approach to studying. There is no need for you to attend college and you can study anytime, anyplace, anywhere that fits in with your lifestyle. Distance learning programmes are ideal for people who may have a job, family commitments, or any other commitment that won’t allow them time off to study.
Both our online and paper courses are completed via an online learning portal (LMS) which you can access after you receive your login details by email. Please ensure that you check your junk email if you do not receive your login details within 48 hours.
All learners will submit their assignments, receive feedback and correspond with their tutor directly through the LMS. If you require help from our support team, then simply email [email protected].
If you opt for the online course, you will not receive any course materials through the post. Everything is available via the LMS.
If you opt for the paper version, you are simply paying for a study book to be printed and posted to your home, or place of work. You will use this book as a reference guide, but you will still be required to upload your assignments and correspond with your tutor via the LMS.
If you are unable to access our online LMS, we do have alternative options available, so please email [email protected] in order to request further support.
We recommend that you choose a course that will interest you and help you to achieve your ambitions. If you would like some advice, or further information, contact us here or dial 0333 3445 690.
To purchase a course, simply click on the ‘Buy now’ button against your chosen course and follow the on screen instructions. Alternatively if you would prefer to purchase the course over the phone, call 0333 3445 690 and speak to one of our expert course advisors.
The price largely depends on the size and duration of the course. The course cost is determined by the expenses associated with its provision, taking into consideration the course's size and complexity, development costs, study materials, and the level of tutor support required. Some courses also necessitate additional in-person assessments by assessors, which incur additional expenses and consequently affect the course's cost.
The cost for each course is always listed clearly on the course description page before you make a purchase.
Additionally, extra fees may apply for courses that require externally monitored assessments (such as A Levels or ICB qualifications). For more details, it's best to consult with one of our course advisors.
Once you've chosen your course, you have two options for enrolment:
- You can purchase the course online by clicking the "Buy now" button, which will enrol you automatically.

All courses are available to purchase in full or via affordable monthly payments over 12 months. A £29 non-refundable deposit is required for monthly payments, and you will be required to set up a monthly direct debit.
We do not require you to complete a credit check to sign up for monthly payments.
We ensure that you will receive your ordered course materials within 5 working days of registration, though for many courses, delivery may take as little as 48 hours.
Your course materials will be sent through a tracked courier service to guarantee delivery of your study book within the specified timeframe.
All the relevant information required to complete your course is available via the LMS. Additional research via the internet is encouraged, depending on the level you are working at, to bolster knowledge of the subject area.
There is no requirement to purchase any additional materials.
You will have access to a dedicated personal tutor whom you can contact through the Learning Management System (LMS) for assistance and guidance on any course-related matters. Your tutor will only initiate contact in response to your messages. If you encounter any difficulties reaching your tutor, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].
Many courses require you to submit work to your tutor during the period of study, and your tutor will assess your work and provide feedback to you within 10 working days. Your tutor is available to you as much as you need them.
Please note that the course includes tutor support for a duration of 12 months. If you require additional time, please inform us, and we will make every effort to provide you with an option for a paid extension, if feasible, to assist you in completing your course.
Please be aware that our tutors are actively assisting multiple learners, and to ensure they are not inundated with excessive workloads, we have implemented a policy limiting learners to submitting a maximum of three units of work for evaluation at any given time. We recommend that you upload your completed units as you finish them. This way, you can benefit from your tutor's feedback to enhance your future assignment submissions.
Your work will be marked and feedback returned to you within 10 working days after submission. This is because our tutors are required to provide detailed, considered feedback to our learners that may take a while to formulate. We find that by working this way, our learners actually complete their course in less time, as they rarely need to submit an assignment more than twice.
Whilst it is possible to submit multiple assignments at the same time, we advise that our learners submit only one at a time. We want our learners to develop as they progress through their course, and find this is best achieved when a student embarks on a new module having taken into account tutor feedback from the previous submission.
Kindly note that our tutors are currently supporting multiple learners simultaneously. In order to maintain a balanced workload for them, we have established a policy that restricts learners to submitting a maximum of three units of work for evaluation at any given time.
The time needed to complete your course depends on the specific course you've chosen and the time you're able to dedicate. Generally, it can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 12 months. You'll usually have up to 12 months from the date of purchase to complete your course if you wish to receive your certificate, this is your end of support date.
One of the biggest advantages of distance learning is the flexibility it offers. You can study at your own pace, fitting your coursework around your personal schedule and commitments. There's no pressure—no one will be chasing you to submit work or asking why you haven't turned in an assignment.
That said, we recommend considering your availability before enrolling to ensure you can devote enough time to stay motivated and complete the course within a reasonable timeframe.
All of our courses are fully accredited, and to successfully complete them, you'll need to demonstrate your understanding. Depending on the course you choose, this could involve an examination, but the assessment methods can vary.
For some courses, you'll be continuously assessed throughout your studies, while others may require a final exam or an assignment, which can be done from home and submitted to your tutor.
For specific qualifications like A-levels and GCSEs, you will need to sit invigilated exams at a registered test centre. You'll be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of these exams, but full guidance will be provided by the centre delivering the qualification.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We can help or connect you with the course provider for more details.
All of our courses are accredited and you will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
For more information about this please see the section of the website that details how awarding bodies work and what the different types of qualifications are: https://www.ncchomelearning.co.uk/awarding-organisations
Yes, you can take as many courses as your time allows, but we would recommend that you clearly evaluate how much time you can commit to your courses of study.
The good news is that if your circumstances change you can always take a limited break and come back to your studies to save your paid for support.
If you decide to enrol on more than one course at the same time, speak to our enquiries team for any bundle deals or offers.
Absolutely! In most cases, our courses are accessible regardless of where you're located. However, some courses may have geographical restrictions set by the Awarding Organisation, and any such limitations will be clearly outlined in the course details.
Keep in mind that all of our tutors are UK-based, and while most work can be submitted via email, there may be rare instances where submissions need to be sent by post.
For courses that require a monitored exam, there are many test centres available internationally. If you're planning to study from abroad, we recommend reaching out to us before purchasing the course to ensure everything is in place for your studies.
If, after receiving the course, you decide it isn’t the right course for you, you may return the materials within 14 days, provided you have not yet submitted any coursework for evaluation. Please note that you will be responsible for covering the return shipping costs. We will refund your payment, minus a non-refundable deposit of £29.
