Private Investigation Course Reviews
Case studies - Diploma in Private Investigation
Want to know what current students say about the course?
Three months into the course, we ask our learners about their experience - to give us an honest 'warts and all' opinion.
Click 'Read more' on any comment to see what they said. Due to a recent computer glitch we lost most of our late 2016 and early 2017 ratings (grr). But over time you will see more of our current learners' views.

To learn about becoming a Private Investigator in the UK. To know what areas were covered and what a full time career would be like as a PI.
No, the information on the website seemed to be sufficient.
Very biased towards a career in the USA rather than UK. The information seems to be presented in an easy to work with format.
Yes I looked at a few others.
To study alongside my current job and eventually become a full time PI.
The information is good but ideal for someone in the States rather than UK.
Unfortunately I have been unwell for quite a lot of time since receiving the course. The emails that I get refer to how things are done in America which is of no use to me. I contacted The Blackford centre to advise on this and was told the course is ok for the UK too but I'm not sure how when all the references don't apply to the UK. I asked about returning the course but was told I had missed the 60 day return which I wasn't aware of as I discounted the Christmas shutdown period for postage reasons.
