A private investigator, also known as a private investigator or private investigator, is someone who collects and analyzes information, often with the aim of solving or preventing an unlawful act or crime. It is a misconception that private investigators must always be former police officers. In reality, many famous detectives have completely different backgrounds. To be allowed to work as a private researcher, it is necessary to be in possession of the recognized ECABO Private Researcher diploma. Our organization offers a unique training course that enables you to quickly pass the exam and then immediately start working in practice.
The course includes four interactive theory lessons, enriched with practice-oriented cases and personal guidance up to the national exam, and takes place at our location in Gilze-Rijen. After participating in all lessons, you are theoretically ready for the exam. However, we strive to help you succeed the first time. That is why you get access to the IACA-LMS platform, where you will find numerous exercises and exam training to prepare for your exam. This private platform also offers the opportunity to communicate with fellow students and teachers at any time. You will retain access to this platform for at least one year, which also provides an opportunity for networking opportunities.
During the training you will receive lessons from qualified private researchers with more than 15 years of experience. They have worked as researchers on high-profile files both at home and abroad, on behalf of private individuals, law firms and government institutions. They are still involved in ongoing investigations worldwide.
