Rehabilitation of Offenders Short course
Rehabilitation of Offenders
Overview
If you want to become a probation officer – and you have at least a Level 5 Higher Education award but haven't covered the four knowledge entry requirements from the Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP) – then this is the course for you.
On this Rehabilitation of Offenders Knowledge Entry Module, you'll explore the many definitions and approaches to understand the rehabilitation of offenders. You'll evaluate approaches for rehabilitation, highlighting both the ‘What Works’ policy, and the significance of research and policy formation.
You'll learn in your own time, at your own pace, and after successful completion of the four Knowledge Modules, you'll be entered into the University of Portsmouth Community Justice Learning Gateway Assessment Service (GAS) for verification of your achievements to the National Offender Management Service.
