Testimonials:
Allan Morgan said the following:
"I have attended 3 taught courses run by Alpha Detective Agency, from beginner to advanced level. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the course content relevant, up to date and easy to understand. They were extremely informative, and gave me a good insight into where and how to find work, how to market my services and the (many) legal pitfalls to be aware of.
I have looked at other PI courses that did not inspire me to spend my money on them. Alpha Detective Agency stood way out in front, both for course content, presentation, and approachability.
The courses represented excellent value for money, and have given me the knowledge and confidence to achieve a long-held ambition to start my own business as a private investigator. I have already had a number of client leads.
Thank you to David Clare and everyone at the school for all your help and support so far"
Matt Seymour said the following:
"Thanks for sharing your expertise so eloquently on Saturday - I was very happy with the amount of information I came away with."
Kevin Blunt said the following:
Since starting a new distant learning Private Investigation course I've got to know David Clare as he is my tutor. I have already completed a Private Investigation course approximately 7 months ago but found that this new one I'm doing at the moment is more rewarding due to the responsiveness and positive feedback from my tutor.
Over the last few months of doing my course I've also done a day taught course with David on Process Serving and found that the course was Brilliant. It was the first time I had met David face to face and I was made to feel really welcome as he did with all the other students.
When I do a course I expect to be taught with a tutor that can be there for you with the right attitude towards their students whether you are a professional or a beginner and with my experience doing a Private Investigation course in the past, David Clare is the tutor to have.
My experience through my course work with David has made me feel more confident in myself in what I have learnt; I never had that with my last course work. David has always been responsive on getting back to me on any questions I have put to him and has never left me feeling in the dark with anything.
My day taught course on Process Serving was a great day for me and refreshed what I already had learnt with my last distant learning course. I found that David teaches and approaches his students in an easy and understanding way without too much technical jargon and he also has a good sense of humour, and as any beginner that is what and how you want it to be.
Anybody who is thinking or wanting to go into the Private Investigation industry then going on these courses is a must. I would like to thank David Clare for giving me confidence in my new skills.
