Private Investigator Training

The potential licensing and regulation of Private Investigators in the UK will affect all aspects of investigation’ in the private sector such as interviewing, taking statements, conducting investigations, locating debtors, people searching, surveillances and serving legal documents.

• Our training section: Private Investigator Training UK is an approved SFJ Centre that offers the Level Three Award for Professional Investigators.
• The Private Investigator Sector in the UK is not currently licensed, but, the Industry is on the verge of licencing under the Security Industry Authority.
• We offer both licence linked training and general investigator training to supply the knowledge and expertise to operate and maintain a successful private investigation operation. Please remember the key points:
• The first Level 3 Professional Investigator Award training course linked to Licensing that was approved by the Security Industry Authority was completed in 2011, in Surrey. Today, we offer classroom and distance learning options centred around the SFJ Level 3 for Professional Investigators.
