Enrol on Privat Investigation Distance Learning Course

Testimonial:

Steve Sweet
Dip PI (UKPIN)


"I have completed this course from UKPIN and would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to prepare for a career as a Private Investigator. The UKPIN course is far superior to all the distance learning courses I have researched.

The best thing I have ever done was to study with the UKPIN. Support is ongoing throughout your training and career.

At this present time, my wife is undertaking the UKPIN course and, after studying with them, I am confident that she will be a great PI and join me working together in our agency

REGULATION OF THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATION INDUSTRY


ENGLAND AND WALES

There is currently no requirement for a private investigator to be licensed and you can trade unrestricted anywhere in England and Wales.

In 2001 the Private Security Industry Act was enacted which regulated the licensing of private investigators. The enforcement of this act was passed to the Security Industry Authority (SIA) that was tasked with bringing in the licensing regime. However, with the latest government cutbacks, the SIA is to be disbanded and no alternate authority has been formed to supersede it.


Licensing is not now anticipated, for least, several years to come, if at all.

Should licensing ever come into force in the future the best way to ensure obtaining a license is to be a trained and trading as a professional private investigator.

The best way to do both is with the UKPIN.


SCOTLAND AND IRELAND

At present, no regulation of the private investigation industry is in effect. However, the Private Security Industry Act 2001 governing England and Wales is being considered as a model for legislation in Scotland.

INTERNATIONAL LICENSING

Regulation of the a private investigation industry varies dramatically throughout the world, from not being allowed to trade at all and risking a prison sentence by doing so, to no regulation at all. Therefore, it is imperative that you ascertain your legal position for the country in which you want to act as a private investigator before you do so.
