If you're a private investigator looking for a course for continuing education credits, look no more. Scott put together a really good course. You definitely get your money's worth.

This course gives you an informative and comprehensive understanding of more than just surveillance, but also the ins and outs of being in the investigation field. Unlike other sites, here you get more for your buck. Other sites will offer 1 to 2 to 4 hours with a hefty price tag. This course offers 18 hours at a cheaper price than a 2 to 4 hour CE at other sites. Very informative and explains information thoroughly. Cuts does the BS and gives it to you straight with a bit of flair of comedy to keep it interesting and help imbed the information into your memory. I will definitely be recommending

This class is very informative, rather you are the business owner or just getting into the profession. The commentary was great and written at a level any intelligent person could understand. Scott was there every step of the way and responded rapidly to every email.

The course will be of great benefit to those with little or no experience with the art of surveillance, and to those seeking to learn the basics or become better and more efficient at surveillance. I have spent thousands of hours on surveillance during my previous 30 years as a federal criminal investigator, and the methods taught here are spot on for the preparation and performance of a variety of surveillance issues one will encounter.

This course was very informative, things that I normally do I sometimes forget all the details or other brain storming ideas to do while on the job. So this course made me remember the things that I forgot about. Mr. Baldwin did a very good job making sure I didn't have any issues trying to sign on and start my course.
