Q2. Do you require a license to be a Private Investigator?

A. No, at the present time there is no requirement to have a licence.
However, with the establishment of the Security Industry Authority
(S.I.A.) the licensing of all Private Investigators commences in 2008.

Proving competence will be an essential part of the licensing criteria.

The Nationwide Investigation franchise training includes the obtaining of your Edexcel BTEC Advanced Private Investigation Level 3 Diploma, which will be your proof of competence in the obtaining of your private investigators license.
