Law, Policing and Protective Services

Newcastle College Protective Services specialises in delivering courses that equip people for a career in the criminal justice industry, fire and rescue services or the military. We offer college (16-18), adult and undergraduate courses in policing, law and criminology, protective services and criminal justice.

Our hands-on courses are taught by former police officers and criminal justice workers. The focus of our courses is to prepare students for a career in the protective services, through work experience and entrance test preparation. We offer both academic and practical routes into the industry. We work with support from Northumbria Police, Newcastle Crown Courts, Royal Navy, Army, Ambulance and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue.

Brandon James Edwards-Jary

BSc Professional Policing

"I first came to Newcastle College when I was 16. I’d left school with no qualifications at all as I’d been let down by the system. I have autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia and I don’t think they knew what to do with me. My dream from the start was to become a police officer. The tutors here are so supportive. They've been behind me every step of the way, making sure I get through my courses and succeed. If you’d said to me, say five years ago, that I’d be graduating with a degree this year, I’d have laughed at you, but here I am!"

Sarah Lane

Level 2 Uniformed and Protective Services

"I was welcomed by the course tutors, Dave, George and Kev and felt that no matter whether I was having a good day or bad day, they let me work at my own pace. The tutors are always there to talk to whenever I need them. The course has helped give me experiences and opportunities I wouldn’t have been able to get from school. HITZ has really helped guide me."

David Lee

FdA Police and Criminal Justice

"I decided the career that I wanted to pursue was in policing. After researching the requirements, I found that a degree was necessary. The modules in this course really stood out to me as I felt they were relevant and interesting."
