Academy of Professional Investigation

The Academy of Professional Investigation evolved from Nationwide Investigations Group and its comprehensive training programmes, developed over many decades enabling its staff to attain higher levels of competence, proficiency and professionalism.

With the establishment of the Academy of Private Investigation's Distance Learning Course, a unique opportunity has been created for the beginner to enter the profession as a competent investigator.

With the conception and continuing development of the National Vocation Qualification (NVQ) in Investigation, established under the Goverment's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) an opportunity has now been created through the Academy of Professional Investigation, for both practising and student investigators, to acquire a nationally recognised qualification placing them in an elite catergory of investigators.

NVQ in Investigation Level 3 and Level 4

The Private Security Industry Act 2001 will result in the licensing of the activities of the Professional Investigator in 2005. Although the licensing criteria have yet to be decided, there is discussion that the Investigator will need to be able to demonstrate a level of competence to gain a license. An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) Level 3 and above in Investigation established under the Government Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) must be a serious consideration for all practising Investigators to meet this requirement.

Distance Learning Course

The course has been designed, prepared and written by practising Professional Private Investigators with a combined total of over 100 years experience. It is structured to be easy to read, follow and understand.

Diploma in Private Investigation

When you have successfully completed the Distance Learning Course modules, you will have the option to take the Final examination to receive the Academy's Diploma in Private Investigation in recognition of your achievement, entitling you to use the letters, DipAPI. With your new found knowledge you will then be in a good position to acquire either employment within the investigation profession, or start your own agency.
