"Having just completed the course, I thought it prudent to show my appreciation to all staff concerned in the preparation of the course. What a wonderful, knowledgeable and interesting course. As we are all aware our industry starts licensing next year and having already obtained 2 SIA Licenses for other sectors within the profession I have to say that this is by far the most informative course I have done."

FULLY ACCREDITED

 

The Academy of Professional Investigation is an established and respected investigation training school and is approved to offer Edexcel BTEC Qualifications through accredited Learning Courses for those wishing to become a private investigator, or receive further specialist investigative training.

 

BEING YOUR OWN BOSS!

 

Most people dream of being their own boss and long for the freedom, power and control over their own destiny which this brings; they also like the fact that you keep all the money you make! In other words, when you are your own boss you are working to make yourself rich not someone else!

 

FULL OR PART TIME - HOURS TO SUIT YOU!

 

This is one of the few businesses that can be operated full or part time, to suit your needs. The choice is yours; but the great thing is that it's your choice not someone else choosing for you. Many private investigators start their careers on a part-time basis. Very quickly though, they realise that there is far more money and excitement to be had in going full time into their new career and abandon their old, dull, routine job.
