Module 1 – An Introduction to UK Private Investigation and building your business

In the first module we look at the characteristics needed by private investigators, and the key requirements for carrying out the job successfully. We also examine who will be your clients and how to approach them. What forums are available and what ones are worth while. We look at the the Data Protection Act, and how it effects us. and look at various personal indemnity insurance company’s.

We also look at the art of marketing your company – that is, advertising and selling your services as a UK professional private investigator, we look at websites and how to make yourself visible on search engines whether it be on natural listings such as Google/ Yahoo/ Altavista/ Bing/ Jeeves/ Ask.com or pay per click (Google/ Yahoo adwords)

Just added to this module is one of the most overlooked skills of a Investigator- sales techniques, if you have no experience in this then closing sales will be difficult, and nothing is worst than loosing a sale that another “sales savy” investigator gets handed on a plate.

Module 2 – Surveillance Secrets

Surveillance is one of the most important aspects of private investigation work. In this module we will explain the various occasions when surveillance could be required, with various senarios and hints and tips on how to go about it successfully.

NEW: We have recently added 5 days on the job surveillance with an experienced operative or surveillance team to teach you the basic techniques involved in successfully observing targets undetected.

Module 3 – Tracing Debtors, Missing Persons

For many detective agencies, tracing or people finding is their bread-and-butter. In this module we look at why people ‘disappear’ and why various other people (your clients) wish to trace them. We reveal a wide range of methods for tracing people, We also look at the way the Internet and various databases are used to find people in the UK and Internationally.

Module 4 – Matrimonial and Domestic Cases

Matrimonial work generally means checking up on cheating spouses Domestic work covers a very wide range of jobs, including means reporting, child care and custody matters, adoption enquiries and peace of mind reports. This module sets out what work may be available and how to go about it. In Business Basics we look at invoicing and financial record-keeping.

Module 5 – Counter-Espionage

Forget about James Bond and MI5. For private investigators, counter-espionage is about commercial spying. In this module we look at why companies try to steal one another’s secrets, and what can be done to counter it. We also examine electronic surveillance, counter-surveillance, “de-bugging”, and so on.

Module 6 – Process Serving

Process serving describes the service of legal documents such as non-molestation orders and statutory demands, bankruptcy papers, and notices to quit premises or repay a debt etc etc. The business is usually straight-forward and is all about making sure documents reach the people they are intended for. The module explains what the work involves and who are your most likely clients. It also explains your options if the person concerned does not wish to accept the document(s).

Module 7 – Conclusion and Final Assessment

In this module we offer a further wide range of tips and advice on all aspects of running a successful private investigation agency. The module also includes essential contact addresses, including forums & organisations for PIs, further reading, suppliers of electronic surveillance equipment, and so on. The module concludes with a final self-study exercise with which you can test your knowledge of private investigation. And, in recognition of your hard work and dedication in completing the course, you will receive the Diploma in Professional Private Investigation, an attractive and prestigious document to frame and put on your wall to impress your clients.
