The Licensing of Private Investigators in the UK will assist the larger, more competent, detective bureaus in re affirming their position as the most effective tool in locating debtors, people searching, interviewing, investigating, conducting enquiries and serving legal documents. A well run and profitable private detective bureau can be rewarding and life affirming!
We already offer a comprehensive introduction to private investigator practice and expertise in our established UK Private Investigator Training Course
As the likelihood of compulsory licencing for the private detective sector becomes apparent our training section: Private Investigator Training UK is pleased to have become an EDI approved centre that offers the VRQ Level Three Award for Professional Investigators - this is the only training, that is currently approved and endorsed by the Security Industry Authority covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We therefore offer both licence linked training and general investigator training to supply the knowledge and expertise to operate and maintain a successful detective bureau. Please remember the key points:
- The Private Investigator Sector in the UK is not currently licensed, but, the Security Industry Authority is on the verge of being permitted to licence the sector.
- The only training course linked to Licensing that is approved by the Security Industry Authority is the EDI Level 3 Certificate or Award for Professional Investigators.
- Private Investigator Training UK is now approved to offer the EDI Level 3 Award for Professional Investigators.
- The training offered by Private Investigator Training UK on its training day is complimentary to the SIA approved course and covers some of the subject areas or National Occupational Standards that the L3 Award for Professional Investigators does not cover (Such as Process Serving and Debtor Tracing).
