The qualification is equivalent two “A” levels and can be used to gain entry to a University Degree Course in Higher Education.. It includes the scope of the SIA specification required for the licensing of private investigators. The time required to complete the course will very much depend on the amount of time and effort that you are willing to devote. Normally students studying on a part time basis will take three months to complete the course however; we have had students who have studied on a full time basis complete it within six weeks.
