Identity Theft

Identity theft is not a new crime, it is probably as old as crime itself, it was until not so long ago known as impersonation.

At the present moment it is estimated that one in four will be a victim of identity theft in the next twelve months and an estimated five hundred percent increase will occur in growth annually.

The results of identity theft can be devastating for the victim. We tend to think of financial loss when we think of becoming a victim of this crime; this though is only part of the many problems that may come about.

This course aims to make the student aware of the different types of identity theft that are currently employed as well as how to identity the signs of identity theft and ways and means of reducing the risk of identity theft.

Brilliant!

Brilliant! I was already studying with learn direct already, so I was a bit worried about how to get into maths functional skills with the exams. I made a call to the lovely team and I had Samuel as my caller. Very nice guy, explained everything well when I felt confused on the payment plan, and where I would take these exams. My application was made successful and am now working on my maths to get me into university next year. Thank you very much :)

Laura was so so helpful and really took the time with me to figure out which courses were right for me and what I wanted to do , she guided me through the process as I was nervous after not studying for many years provided me with all the information I needed to proceed and I’m really looking forward to the process now. Great support in place for those who may be thinking of learn direct courses .
