About this course

About this course

This two-session course will empower learners with a better understanding of the signs of deception, truth and trust. Underpinned by scientific studies, videos and the latest research, this interesting and entertaining online course will highlight how an understanding of our ancient survival instincts may help us to spot a lie.

The course will cover deception, with a look at how liars may leak their true feelings. There will be illustrations, demonstrations and video, with a focus or real cases. 

Myths will have been debunked as learners come to understand the difficulties of detecting deception whilst understanding how to read the signs of comfort and discomfort.  

The course will provide an understanding of how people unconsciously signal their ‘hidden’ true feelings.

An interest in human behaviour or body language is desirable. 

Suggested Reading for the course: 

• ‘Crime Signals’ by David Givens. 
• ‘Truth & Lies’ by Mark Bowden and Tracy Thomson. 
• ‘The Psychology of Lying and Detecting Lies’ by Bella DePaulo.
