About Our Forensic Psychology Course

This forensic psychology training course provides an overview of the use of psychological principles to understand the behaviour of criminals and the value of psychology in the detection of crime. The course covers different research methods and how they can help us research criminal behaviour, current theory in relation to the committing of offences, typical personal traits of offenders and how profiling can assist detection of crime, witness testimony and the behaviour of witnesses in the courtroom, and the use of forensic psychology in prevention of re-offending.

What Could I Do After Taking This Forensic Psychology Course?

Pay using a 19+ Loan

What is a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?

The Government has introduced 19+ Advanced Learner Loans to help learners, aged 19 and over, in further education pay the college or training organisation fee. Getting a Loan doesn’t depend on your household income and there’s no credit check. You won’t have to pay anything back until you’re earning over £21,000 a year. Once you earn over this amount you pay back 9% of the earnings you receive above this figure.

Total Loan Amount: £0.00

What are my repayments likely to be?

That depends on how much you earn, click on the link to the repayment calculator below to see how monthly payments relate to earnings.

To view our repayment calculator, please click here

REMEMBER: loan repayments only start when you are earning over £21,000 per year.

What if I never earn more than £21,000 per annum?

Currently if you do not exceed an annual salary of more than £21,000 your loan will never be repaid.

Repayments won’t start for any course until April 2016, but you can make voluntary repayments before then.

Can the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan be written off or cancelled?

Normally any outstanding loan you have will be written off 30 years after it becomes eligible to be repaid.

If you receive a disability-related benefit and are permanently unfit for work, it will be cancelled.

In addition, if you’re undertaking an Access to HE Diploma and then go on to complete an HE qualification the outstanding balance of your 19+ Advanced Learner Loan will be written off. To qualify for this write off you must have fully completed both courses. You do not need to take out a loan for the HE course. However, it must be eligible for funding by Student Finance England. The HE course does not have to relate to the Access to HE course you complete.

Who is eligible for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?

To be eligible for the loan you must be:

19 or older on the first day of your course (there’s no upper age limit)
living in the UK on the first day of your course, and have lived in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for 3 years immediately before this starting your course on or after 1 August 2013

Is there an upper age limit?

There is no upper age limit in order to apply for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan.

Is there a maximum amount of Loan available?

The course fees of the Stonebridge courses eligible for the 19+ Advanced Learner Loans can be entirely covered by the loan amount you are able to take out.

Who is providing my Course with the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan?
