Criminology Courses
Whether you are studying criminology or law at A Level or university, considering a career within the criminal justice system, or simply seeking to broaden your understanding of crime and investigation, our specialist courses are designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world practice.
Drawing upon decades of operational policing, intelligence and investigative experience, our courses provide a unique insight into how criminal investigations are conducted, how intelligence is gathered and evaluated, and how evidence is used to support the pursuit of justice. Students are encouraged to think critically, challenge assumptions and develop the analytical and professional skills required across a wide range of careers.
Our programmes are ideal for students aspiring to work within policing, law, criminology, intelligence, the prison and probation services, security, safeguarding, fraud investigation and many other professions where investigative thinking and sound judgement are essential.
More than simply preparing students for examinations, our aim is to inspire confidence, develop practical understanding and equip learners with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in higher education and the workplace.

Whitechapel: Crime, Policing and the Inner City
Whitechapel: Crime, Policing and the Inner City (c.1870–1900)
Designed specifically to support the GCSE History Historic Environment study, this engaging and interactive course brings Victorian Whitechapel vividly to life. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, students are immersed in the social conditions, poverty, overcrowding and policing challenges of one of London's most infamous districts, helping them develop a deeper understanding of the people, places and events that shaped the period.
Using real historical evidence and contemporary sources, students explore the development of policing and criminal investigation during the late nineteenth century. Through carefully selected case studies, including the lives of several of the women who became victims of the Whitechapel murders, the course examines the investigative techniques available to detectives at the time, including witness interviews, crime scene sketches, early forensic photography and the gathering of evidence.
Students also investigate the operational challenges faced by the Metropolitan Police, the City of London Police and Scotland Yard as they attempted to identify an unknown serial killer operating across different policing jurisdictions. By examining the limitations of Victorian policing alongside the innovations that emerged during the investigation, learners gain a richer appreciation of how detective work evolved and how policing continues to develop today.
Delivered by former detectives and experienced educators, this course encourages students to think critically about historical evidence, challenge popular myths surrounding the Jack the Ripper murders and gain valuable insight into crime, policing and Victorian society. It provides an informative, memorable and curriculum-focused learning experience that supports both examination success and a genuine interest in history.

Jack the Ripper Investigative Tours
Our Jack the Ripper tours offer a unique and thought-provoking perspective on one of history's most enduring criminal investigations. Unlike conventional walking tours, every tour is delivered by experienced former detectives and professional investigators, combining historical research with real investigative expertise.
Rather than focusing solely on the murders themselves, we examine the Whitechapel investigation through the eyes of a serious crime investigator and experienced Ripperologist. Using original evidence, historical records and the streets where the events unfolded, we explore how detectives approached the investigation, the challenges they faced and the decisions that shaped one of the world's most famous unsolved cases.
Throughout the tour we consider crime scene examination, witness evidence, investigative strategy, suspect identification, offender profiling and the limitations of Victorian policing. We also compare the methods available in 1888 with those used by modern major crime investigation teams, demonstrating how advances in forensic science, intelligence gathering and investigative practice might influence such an enquiry today.
Our aim is not to sensationalise the Whitechapel murders, but to encourage critical thinking, evidence-based discussion and a deeper understanding of the social conditions, policing and criminal investigation of Victorian London. Whether you are a history enthusiast, student, police professional or simply fascinated by one of history's greatest mysteries, our tours provide an engaging and informative experience unlike any other.
Join us as we examine the evidence, separate fact from fiction and investigate the mystery through the eyes of those who have spent their careers solving serious crime.

Conflict Awareness Courses
Conflict Awareness and Resolution Courses
Conflict rarely begins with confrontation. More often, it develops through misunderstanding, poor communication, frustration or unresolved personal circumstances. Recognising the early warning signs and responding positively can prevent situations from escalating and create opportunities for lasting change.
Our Conflict Awareness and Resolution Courses are designed to equip individuals, schools, youth organisations and community groups with the practical skills and confidence to understand conflict, manage difficult situations and encourage positive behavioural change. Drawing upon decades of experience in policing, education and working alongside young people, including those with additional needs and challenging behaviours, our programmes combine proven techniques with real-life experience.
Built around a practical three-stage approach, the course explores how to recognise conflict, communicate effectively and develop constructive strategies that promote respect, responsibility and personal growth. Participants are encouraged to understand not only the behaviour they encounter but also the factors that often lie behind it, enabling them to respond with confidence, empathy and professionalism.
Whether you are seeking to improve communication within your organisation, support young people facing challenges, reduce conflict in educational settings or simply develop greater confidence in managing difficult situations, our courses provide practical, engaging and evidence-based learning that can make a genuine and lasting difference.
Because lasting change begins not with confrontation, but with understanding.
