Were you always a big fan of the detectives out there--Sherlock Holmes, Perry Mason, Dick Tracey?
Embarking on a career as a private investigator is a lot easier than you might think. If you spent your formative year immersed in mystery novels and classic movies following the adventures of sleuths and Private Eyes, it's never too late to turn pro!
Think of the possibilities...
-
Being able to track down companies or individuals that "skipped town" with your money.
-
Opportunities to easily access up-to-date credit reports and credit histories to avoid collection issues further down the road
-
Locating long-lost friends, relatives and biological parents
-
Learning to locate missing children and runaways
-
Never having to just "wonder" if a spouse is cheating, but having the tools to actually unearth the facts
If any of these benefits spark your interest, then you're a perfect fit for this online course on striking out as a private investigator.
Self-paced and completely self-contained, all you need in order to position yourself for success is a high school reading level. Across five comprehensive lessons, you’ll be armed with all of the essentials you'll need to ferret out anything and everything you're looking for.
Whether you're looking for a new line of work, or you're just hoping to add a few more skills and qualifications to your talent pool, there’s no need to look any farther.
Since enrollment is always open, there's no excuse to put things off any longer. Or, you can keep reading to find out even more...
In today's Information Age, there's hardly anything you can't find--as long as you know how and where to look!
Past and present addresses, telephone numbers (even unlisted ones), credit reports, criminal background information, credit card tracking, adoption records and access to vital and public records are just a few of the investigative tricks that all private eyes have up their sleeves.
While there are no prerequisite classes to take, or textbooks or software programs to invest in, it’s important to research your own local and state laws to become familiar with certification requirements or the legal loopholes you may have to leap through. Just a few of the items you may want to pay special attention to include licensing requirements, handgun permits, martial arts certification(s) and advertising restrictions.
With that little disclaimer under our belts, let’s take a moment to explore the rewards you can glean for your self-development efforts.
Over the course of your studies, you’ll cover a total of five self-paced and self-contained lessons. The only thing you might want to add is a spiral notebook you can dedicate to you class assignments and notes.
Along the way, you’ll learn:
Lesson 1: Why Become Your Own Private Investigator?
Lesson 2: Tools Needed to Be a Successful P.I.
Lesson 3: How to Do Searches on the Internet
Lesson 4: The Rich Sources of Information Found in Public Records, and
Lesson 5: Background Checks
To measure your performance in class, each lesson will include do-it-yourself practice assignments that will rely on Internet searches for completion. There is also a short 25 point quiz at the end of each section. Coursework must be completed sequentially (meaning you must finish all of Lesson 1 before moving on the Lesson 2) and an overall score of 70% or better is required for successful completion.
Unlike many of the other courses available out there, the assignments in this class will be based around your own customized P.I. searches and other personal exercises. However, your privacy is respected, and not every assignment will have to be submitted for grading.
You don’t have to get on Oprah or Maury Povich to find a long lost loved one. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars hiring a detective when you can do all of the legwork yourself. While you won’t walk away with college credit or any official certification, you will wind up with an in-depth understanding of unearthing the information you’re after--for personal use OR profit.
What mysteries are you hoping to solve? Who will you hunt down first?
Registration is open and available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Tap into your inner detective and enroll today!
