Registration

At IACA, we are proud of our years of experience offering the Private Investigator program, a program that consistently demonstrates high pass rates. At a time when the demand for skilled private investigators is steadily increasing, this degree is increasingly considered the essential foundation for both novice and experienced investigators.

The ECABO Private Investigator diploma isn't just a requirement for certain professional groups but opens doors in a wide range of sectors. It's valuable for those working or aspiring to a career in a fraud department, at a municipality, or at a housing association. It also provides an important foundation for claims adjusters, (independent) private investigators, or professionals who conduct investigations in other ways during their work. This sought-after diploma provides a solid foundation for your professional growth.

Our unique training program is designed to enable you to quickly and successfully pass the national exam, allowing you to start working in the field immediately. The program consists of four interactive theory lessons, enriched with practical case studies. These lessons take place at our excellent training location in Gilze-Rijen. We also offer the option of participating interactively online. This eliminates the need to travel to our location, giving you the flexibility to choose the learning method that best suits your needs.

To maximize your chances of passing, we offer access to our exclusive IACA LMS platform. Here you'll find a wealth of exercises and exam training to help you optimally prepare for the exam. This private platform also allows you to communicate with the instructors at any time, allowing you to ask questions directly. You'll retain access to this platform for at least one year, further supporting your learning process and professional development.

Our instructors are qualified private investigators with over 20 years of experience. They have worked on high-profile cases both domestically and internationally, commissioned by private organizations, financial institutions, and government agencies. Their involvement in ongoing investigations worldwide ensures you gain the most up-to-date and relevant knowledge. By choosing our Private Investigator program, you benefit from our years of expertise and thoroughly developed teaching methods. Because of our extensive knowledge and experience, we also contribute to the development of the nationally used teaching materials.

We aim to not only prepare you for the exam, but also support you in your professional development, whether you are just starting your career or already have experience as a researcher.

Guidance during and after the training

During the classroom lessons, we provide personal and professional preparation for the national exam. Beyond the course material, we create a calm environment where you can discuss your future plans, advise you on them, and build a future network together with the other students. We've noticed that aspiring private investigators have questions not only about the course content, but also about applying for the POB permit and yellow pass, and about how to secure assignments, build a network, or develop a website for their office.

After successfully completing the exams and obtaining the recognized ECABO Private Investigator diploma, our instructors and staff remain available to provide support. Should you decide to start your own firm, they can advise and assist you with applying for your license and identification.
