Overview

Are you tenacious, inquisitive, and logical? Do you have nerves of steel, and razor-sharp intuition? If so, then you might just have what it takes to become a private investigator. Before you start, however, you’ll need some essential skills.

In this level 3 private investigator course, you’ll gain a nose for surveillance, missing persons’ cases, interviewing and interrogation techniques, and gain essential tips on how to set up and run your own business. You’ll study the ethics of working as a PI, how to follow the law whilst you work, the skills and qualities you’ll need to thrive in the industry, and much more. The knowledge you’ll gain will stand you in good stead for any number of other careers, too, such as working within law firms, insurance companies, policing, and just about any career which prizes outstanding research and analytical skills. Even better, this course is completely flexible, so you study in your own time, at your own pace!

What is the career after taking this course? Is this course accredited?

Answer:

Hi there, this course is more aimed for self-employment. Upon completion, you would be able to open your own business if you so wished. You could work for an agency and once you'd built up enough experience, you could become a senior investigator or team member. Furthermore, you could contact your local authority as having this qualification will give you a lot of transferable skills which could be applied to a role within your community. We hope this helps, and good luck!

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
