Overview
Criminal profiling is a valuable tool that can be used to help law enforcement catch criminals. By analyzing crime scenes and victimology, profilers can develop a psychological profile of the offender. This information can then be used to narrow the search for suspects and develop investigative strategies. The field of criminal profiling is relatively new, but it has already significantly impacted law enforcement. Profilers have been instrumental in solving some of the most notorious crimes in history, including the Zodiac Killer, the BTK Killer, and the Unabomber. If you are interested in a career in law enforcement or criminal justice, then criminal profiling is a valuable skill. This Criminal Profiling: Science, Logic and Metacognition course will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a successful criminal profiler.

What is a ‘regulated qualification’?
A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.
What is an ‘endorsed’ course?
An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body’s logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
