SI Training has a state-of-the-art user interface that encourages self-paced learning, enhances retention, and engages your attention. No “Death by PowerPoint” of endless PDFs. There are videos on special subjects relating to investigations, like firearms and fraud. Excellent preparation in law, courtroom procedures, surveillance, and investigative reporting. An emphasis on psychological factors and investigative ethics. Best practice techniques for interviewing, cyberassurance, information security, OSINT, link analysis, and cyberinvestigations. You can take part of the course and return at another time to the place you left off, or you can back-track to review material you’ve already read.
The SI Training course cost is $79. DCJS will require a separate fee to be paid with your renewal application after you complete training.
By credit card or digital wallet. You pay through our secure online payment system before you take the course. We accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and CashApp. All payments are non-refundable.
Once you are a paid 02I course registrant, you will be able to call the SI Training dedicated customer support telephone line or contact SI customer service by email. The phone number and email address are in the course materials. You’ll have to provide your 99- number and SI Training course registration information. When you call, you will talk in person to a cleared SI professional, our US native training course administrator who works in our office and is physically located in Fairfax County, Virginia. Please note, our training course administrator may not call or contact DCJS on your behalf.
The exam, reviewed and approved by DCJS, is straightforward: no tricks, no math, all substance. There are 20 questions. You need to score 80 percent, 16 of 20 answers correct, to pass.
The DCJS-mandated 02I biennial in-service training requirement for private investigators is eight (8.0) hours of training. This course satisfies your training requirement. The SI Training course is entirely self-paced. If you are a fast reader and quick learner, and you can complete the material quickly and pass the examination, we don’t hold you up. The course takes as much time as you need to spend with it.
Yes. When you pass the SI Training online 02I course, you immediately receive a certificate of completion. At the same time, SI Training automatically notifies DCJS. Therefore, if you have received the SI Training certificate of completion, DCJS has received notice of your course completion. SI Training will not call or contact DCJS on your behalf or to check your renewal status. SI Training only certifies completion of the required 02I course, not any of the other requirements for registration renewal. Your registration as a Virginia private investigator will not be renewed until your renewal fee has been received by the Commonwealth of Virginia and your renewal application has been approved by DCJS. These requirements are your responsibility.
