The Deal

This course provides a detailed introduction to the world of forensic science, teaching students about the theoretical and practical methods used to solve crimes. Armed with just a computer, students need no more than a basic grasp of maths and science, as well as a healthy dose of enthusiasm. The course covers 33 units over 3 modules, and participants can expect to learn about the human anatomy, as well as how to understand certain crimes and criminal statistics. The forensics unit also focuses on an introduction to various practical methods used on the job, such as fingerprinting and crime scene analysis.

A series of assignments will be set by tutors, which can be completed over the course of 12 months, while customer service support is available weekdays between 9am and 5pm. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an MDLC Diploma.
