Additional information
- This is an online course held remotely.
- This course will not prepare learners to use the PNC enquiry or updating functionality, as the focus of the course is to learn how to manage an organisation’s access to these functions, not how to use them. If you require operator access to the PNC, please attend the appropriate PNC course for the area you require access to.
- The PNC managers course is only delivered by the College of Policing and must be completed before access to PNC manager functionality will be provided.
- There is no assessment at the end of this course.
