Course Brief

Welcome to the course that separates average from elite.

Investigative note taking isn’t just a requirement—it’s the backbone of your credibility in the field. In the world of professional private investigation, the difference between winning a case and watching it fall apart often hinges on a single thing: your notes.

Whether you’re a newly licensed investigator or a seasoned veteran with 30 years, this course was built for you. It’s not about learning theory—it’s about mastering the field-tested methods that top-tier investigators use every day in real-world operations. The type of investigative note taking that gets results, holds up in court, and makes you the investigator your agency—and your clients—can’t live without.

This isn’t your average “fill-in-the-blank” class. It’s tactical. It’s legal. And it’s absolutely essential.

You’ll learn the correct structure and formatting of professional notes from instructors who’ve operated at the highest levels—handling cases for the most demanding clients and corporate firms. This course walks you through the very framework required for legally sound documentation, admissible evidence, and ironclad professionalism.

Why does this matter? Because one incorrect detail in your field notes can compromise the entire evidentiary chain. It could mean the difference between your client losing hundreds of thousands in court—or winning decisively because your documentation was bulletproof.

From surveillance logs to interview summaries, time stamps to behavioural cues, you’ll understand exactly what belongs in your notes—and what doesn’t. You’ll be trained to write like a professional, think like a prosecutor, and record events with such precision that even a hostile courtroom can’t poke holes in your evidence.

We don’t just teach how to write notes—we show you how to master investigative note writing that intimidates. That makes defence lawyers pause. That reinforces your value to the investigative firm or client that hired you.

Your instructor didn’t just study the standards—he helped define modern investigative note-taking. He revamped protocols for some of the largest investigative firms in Canada, and his investigative note-writing strategies are now adopted across the industry. You’re learning from someone who’s done it, seen it, and taught it at the highest level.

Inside, you’ll gain access to:

• Proven templates used in high-stakes investigations

• Legal guidelines and compliance checklists

• Psychological tactics for observational accuracy

• Real-case breakdowns of what works—and what fails

• Powerful tools to instantly upgrade your field notes

There are no shortcuts here. This is the exact training we give to full-time professionals who need to perform under pressure. And you’ll walk away with skills that aren’t just useful—they’re undeniable.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand the critical role of investigative note writing, you’ll be owning it. You’ll have a system, a strategy, and the confidence to produce clean, concise, and case-winning documentation every time. Your reports will speak volumes. Your evidence will stand firm. And your reputation? Rock solid.

Because in this game, your notes are your armour— and once you’ve mastered this—your enemies won’t see you coming.
