PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

CERTIFICATE III IN INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES CPP30607

Certificate III in Investigative Services is an "industry standard". It is a nationally accredited certificate recognised throughout Australia. Its purpose is to ensure all persons involved in the field of investigations are suitably trained and qualified to perform their task in a professional manner.

 

In addition, the Licensing Services Division (L.S.D) in Victoria requires that all persons applying for an Inquiry Agents Licence complete Certificate III in Investigative Services with an accredited Registered Training Organisation.

 

There are two primary methods of investigations, which are both covered in the Certificate III. They are;

 

1. Surveillance/Activity Review - involves close observation, be it overt or covert, of a person or group who are under suspicion.

 

2. Circumstance/Factual Investigation - involves making enquiries in to the facts of an incident, for example; interviewing people who are of interest to the courts or insurance companies.
