Training Course Providers

The Private Investigator's Basic Training course is offered by numerous companies — but not all training providers follow the MCSCS Training Syllabus for Private Investigators diligently. Always confirm a company is registered as a Training Provider with the MCSCS before paying for any course.

04

Real Instructor Access

Real-time instructor support as required by MCSCS — no chasing voicemails or unanswered emails.

// SECTION 02 — DUE DILIGENCE

Web-based course? Confirm instructor access first.

The MCSCS states that "web-based courses must include some real-time interaction with an instructor, should the student require it." Several students report difficulty reaching instructors when questions arise. Research the provider before you pay.

Before You Pay

  • Call the provider and ask who the instructor is.
  • Get the instructor's direct contact information.
  • Confirm when they will be available to answer questions.
// SECTION 03 — TRAINING CERTIFICATE

Demand a proper certificate.

The PSISA Regulations of the MCSCS state that "training entities that are licenced agencies are required to provide students with a training certificate once the student successfully completes the training." Some training providers do not issue this certificate — instead they only supply the course completion number used to write the PI Test.

Required Certificate Fields
  • 01Student name
  • 02Training entity name
  • 03Type of training completed (Private Investigator Basic Training)
  • 04Date training was completed
  • 05Signature of training entity representative
  • 06Course completion number (recommended)

Choose a provider that meets the standard.

T.R.I.O Investigations delivers MCSCS-compliant Private Investigator training with real instructor access and a valid, properly issued certificate on completion.
