Thinking about work in victim support or probation? This course covers profiling, cybercrime, trauma and radicalisation. It is an introduction, open to beginners, with no exams.
A low cost way to find out if this field holds you.
Victim support and probation teams work with these ideas daily.
No fixed classes, no deadlines and no exams to sit.
These ideas sit behind a lot of justice and support work. Days look like listening, writing notes and walking people through a process.
Sit with people after a crime and listen.
Help keep case records and appointments on track.
Support learning programmes inside a prison.
Handle records and reporting for a policing team.
Support community safety work and outreach.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different. Psychology and counselling roles in Ireland need approved study and registration.
Ten topics, from what leads to crime to what happens after.
Three things to know before you start.
Profiling, cybercrime, terrorism, white collar crime and prison life.
A year of student membership with the International Association for Counselling.
An introduction to the field, not a route to registration.
Plus a year of association membership
Issued by the college when you finish.
A year with the International Association for Counselling.
Job listings, CV review and interview prep.
Support work, further study, or plain interest.
An advisor is straight about what this does not do.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and open the first topics.
No prior study is needed. The course starts from the beginning.
Six months of access, and around one hundred hours of material.
None, ever. You move through the topics at your own speed.
Profiling, cybercrime, terrorism, white collar crime, custody work and prison life.
A Certificate of Achievement, plus a year of association membership.
This is a low cost way to test the interest first. On its own it does not lead to registration as a psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist in Ireland. What you get is grounding in profiling, trauma and how the justice system handles people.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. It is not a QQI course and not a national award. It is an introduction to the field, and it is priced and paced like one.
