**The new Higher National Certificate in Public Services course is designed to equip students with the skillsets, knowledge and understanding necessary to achieve high performance in the fast-changing public services environment.

The emphasis is on developing leadership, team-building, communication and organisational skills. The course will provide insight and understanding into the wide range of roles within the public services, recognising the importance of collaboration at all levels and to equip students with knowledge and understanding of multi-faceted societies and organisations, cross-cultural issues, and an appreciation of diversity and core values. **First year (HNC) modules may include:** - Organisational Structures and Culture - Mental Health and Wellbeing - Equality, Diversity and Fair Treatment - Public Services in Contemporary Society - Personal and Professional Development - Crime and Substance Misuse - Personnel Protection in Civil Protection Agencies - Event Management and Safety - Psychology of Behaviour **Second year (HND) modules may include:** - Research Project - Reflective Professional Practice - Physical Activity, Lifestyle and Health - International Policing - Training, Coaching and Mentoring Techniques - Youth Offending - Offender Management - Resource and Talent Planning **Assessment** Individual and group assessments may include: written reports, presentations, projects, also tasks designed to test the understanding and use of professional, sector-specific language. **Bursaries** We want our courses to be accessible to students from any background, so we’ve put together a cash support package in the form of non-repayable bursaries to provide financial help where it’s really needed. Details for 2022-23 will be advertised once approved by the university regulator – the Office for Students (OfS). Please check our website - www.nottinghamcollege.ac.uk - for more information. **Qualification awarded** Pearson Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Public Services **Possible careers and progression** On successful completion of the Higher National Certificate (HNC), you could progress to the Higher National Diploma (HND).
