Overview

The Criminology & Profiling Diploma is an in-depth exploration of criminal behaviour and the tools used to understand, classify, and prevent crime. This course takes a structured approach to studying crime, profiling, and criminal psychology, providing learners with essential insights into how criminal activities are investigated and the science behind the behaviours of offenders.

With a focus on criminological theory and practice, the course covers topics such as violent crimes, crime scenes, forensic science, and the criminal justice system, with an emphasis on the role of criminal profiling in investigative work.

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.

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.
