About This Course

Crime can pay! At least it does when you can write a good detective, mystery or crime story. Have you witnessed in recent years the overwhelming number of television shows, motion pictures and novels dealing in crime and the number of hungry fans devouring these stories the moment they are produced? This fast-growing industry is both intriguing and rewarding for the author.
Throughout this course, you will learn how to research police reports, forensic techniques, crime scenes and the criminal mind, so that you're able to write the most authentic and gritty crime fiction out there. This diploma will take you from amateur crime writer to published author in no time.

Great that it can be completed in your own time

My Animal Psychology Diploma was a well written and informative course. Easy to follow and complete. Great that it can be completed in your own time, allows for day to day activities to be undertaken and study to fit in when it can.

Professional and helpful - 100% would use again!

I took the online Level 3 Dog Grooming course with the final exam at the end. I know it is just an online course with no practical skills required but this is the next best thing! It provided me with amazing resources and informative modules of different areas. I found this course very good and would definitely recommend it!

When people know you have a disabilit...
