BEWARE OF USING THE WRONG MATERIAL TO PREPARE WITH!

Beware of generic 'covers all states' private investigator test advice.

We are NOT the skinny yellow & black paperback book about PI exam secrets written
in Texas and said to be usable for all states-- we have a current edition of that book,
it is nationwide generic and it has very very little to do with what is on the FLORIDA PI test!

Use ONLY material specifically written for the FLORIDA PI license test!
Our 'Questions & Answers' section and many other sections are Florida-specific.

---

FlashCards

Also available are our smaller FlashCards of vocabulary and practice license
test questions for the Florida Private Investigator PI license examination test.
Pocket-sized as to study anywhere you go,
they include instructions for studying them using the 'Leitner System'
(a proven way of increasing the retention of data from flash cards).
These are NOT generic 'nationwide PI' flashcards!

---

Many people have called our many many datasheets with graphics
'like Giant Paper Flashcards'!

Blunt and to the point: there is some worthless 'junk' out there,
promoted as 'helpful for PI tests'. Buyer beware.
Be careful of generic 'good-for-all-states' nationwide material.
We have assisted many who failed after trying alternate choices.

Our material includes 'trigger questions' (related sample questions that
are similar to but not actually connected to any of the multiple PI tests,
planted within as to later prove plagiarism-- catches our competitors every time.
We have successfully shut down 3 plagiarizers-- and they paid our legal bills!

A SECRET!

Seminars, or studying on-line, is an ineffective waste of time.

Reading our printed paper 2024 Florida PI study materials,
over and over, studying around your daily duties,
or sitting in your car, or even while resting in bed,
is FAR more effective then trying
to study 'on-line' or at a 'seminar'.

Do one final review while parked outside
the test location for your FL PI test appointment!

TYPES OF FLORIDA PI LICENSES:

For Individuals
• "C"- Private Investigator
• "CC"- Private Investigator Intern

  Class M: Manager of an Investigative and Security Agency license test

  But what if an "Individual" wants to operate an "Agency"?
  See 'Solving the 'C' or 'A' Mystery' below!

THIS 2024 EDITION HAS MORE GRAPHICS & PHOTOS THAN BEFORE!

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CLASS “C” PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR LICENSE

An applicant for the Class "C" Private Investigator License must have
TWO YEARS OF LAWFULLY GAINED, VERIFIABLE, FULL-TIME EXPERIENCE
in order to qualify for the license. This experience can be acquired through
a combination of actual investigative experience, college course work in a
related field, or internship in accordance with the following three categories
set forth in the statute:

(a) Private investigative work or related fields of work that provided equivalent experience or training.

(b) College course work related to criminal justice, criminology, or law enforcement administration,
or successful completion of any law enforcement-related training received from any federal, state,
county, or municipal agency, except that no more than 1 year may be used from this category.

(c) Work as a Class “CC” licensed intern. This internship is done at a licensed private investigative agency.

Do I want an
' LICENSE' or a ' LICENSE'?

Solving the "C or A" Mystery!

The licensing bureau's website does not easily address a common question:
"I am an individual, but I want to operate a PI agency.
So, do I want a 'C license' (Individual')
or do I want an 'A license' (Agency)?
Even more confusing, I can only find test information for 'C testing'!"

Five FL PI members of www.thePIgroup.com were asked for a real-world explanation. They advised:

1. "You would be testing for a C license. The C license is the "regular" private investigator's license.
A C license has to work for an Agency. Therefore the A license is an Agency license. An agency can
have a number of C licensed investigators working for them. If you're working for yourself/by yourself,
then you'll need both an A (agency) and C license. No test for the A license. Just some paperwork and money."

2."I'm a licensed PI in CA and FL. Unlike most states where a PI can work for him/herself or another
licensed PI as a sub-contractor, or a PI can hire a trainee without a license, in Florida, a PI must work
for an agency.  Sort of like a nurse.  A licensed nurse must work for a hospital or doctor or other
licensed entity.  The same applies to a PI in Florida.  I am a “C” license holder. To work for myself,
I also had to get an “A” license… or go to work for a person or entity that has an “A” license. 
So, if you’re testing for a PI license, you are testing for a “C” license".

3. "C is someone who has to work under an agency.  A is agency and only entity that can advertise,
bid or legally take PI assignments in Florida.  Double the fees."

4. "Class "C" license is required to be a full fledged Florida private investigator. A class "A" license
is required to own a private investigation agency. A PI intern has to have a "CC" license and must
complete a 40 class/test and work full time for two years while employed by a class "A" agency.
Just having a "C" license doesn't allow one to work as a PI. One must be an employee of an "A" licensed agency."

5. "A C licensee cannot do anything apart from the A license. There is no test for a "A" license.
It is an application and proof of a "C" license who owns the agency. An "A" Licence is for an
Investigative Agency. It can be a person, partnership or corporation. A "C" license is for an individual
who is a private Investigator. A "C" licence must work for and "A" Agency unless you are
employed by only one attorney or attorney office."

From a 30-year teacher of private investigation:



WORST possible study methods:
1) seminars, 2) studying 'on-line', and 3) studying with multiple-choice questions
(low retention percentage, too many words per actual needed knowledge)

BEST possible study method:
reading Question/Answer, Question/Answer, Question/Answer,  . . .
(direct to memory, higher word priority)

Database Company Site Inspections


Did you know that many database companies will
not give you an account until you pass a 'site visit'?
They don't tell you what they are looking for,
so you can't 'prepare'.

Many visits fail, and usually neither the inspector
nor the database company will not tell why it failed!
It's hard to pass if you are in an office building--
but it is far harder to pass if your office is at home.


We have the secret list of what
they might ask during the site visit--
and what they are secretly looking for!
Ask us to include this secret list, and we will.

We also have our complete NEW study material for the
2024 Florida Agency Manager

Another 'secret' for you, from a 30-year investigations-teacher:

Multiple-choice is a good way to test somebody,
but it is the very very very WORST way to study!

Never study with 'multiple-choice'--
it is ineffective and requires mostly unneeded words.
Don't worry-- we know the best way.

NOTHING beats question with answer, question with answer, and so on.

After several requests asking for a version,
we formed a plan-- but we don't recommend it as the best choice.

If we provided you only all the pages of paper material,
with no binder, no dividers, maybe not even any staples(!),
perhaps we could shave off for this new bare-bones 'economy' version.

While it would have every page that the other version does,
we don't think it's a great idea. We think, actually we KNOW,
that our proper assembly into a binder with dividers and with
related items stapled together makes it a better study tool.
But because we have been asked, this is the idea.

ORDERING INFORMATION

1. Send a Zelle or a simple money order, and your package
goes out same-day money order is received, or

2. Send a check, but we put long holds on
orders paid by check.<<< don't miss this, or

3. From 1990 through 2023, we took credit cards,
electronic payments, PayPal, Western Union, etc.
NO MORE.
We're tired of the 'bad numbers', the delays, 'it's my CPAs fault', the costs,
the 'bank mistakes', the excuses, 'its my wife's fault', and so on.
We make too little on these packages for such headaches.
So unless we are to raise our prices, if you can't come in to
pick up a package then there's only one way to send a shipment to you
if you need it faster then by sending payment by regular mail:
you simply overnight us a money order. It doesn't have to be a costly and
time-consuming one issued by a bank-- a post office money order
or a grocery store money order or 7-11 money order is fine.
