How have other people found this course?

“I have just finished my criminology diploma, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It has given me a qualification that I never thought I would have and has given me the confidence to help others. I really enjoyed doing all the research and assignments, the best thing was waiting for my grades, which at school were not very good but I obtained 5 "A"s and a "B" for my diploma so am over the moon. The website was very easy to manoeuvre round and I had no difficulty with handing in assignments, and being able to do these in my own time was ideal for me, being a single parent I don’t always have a lot of time.”
