S.P.I.T. Private Investigator Training Returns This September — Dates Locking In Soon

We're closing in on the next S.P.I.T. class, and we wanted to get this in front of you early. We're currently finalizing between two windows:

September 17th–19th (Thursday–Saturday) or September 22nd–24th (Tuesday–Thursday). Both are tentative while we confirm logistics, but one of them will be locked in soon, and spots will go fast once it is.

If you've been waiting for a sign to commit, this is it.

S.P.I.T. Strider Private Investigator Training: 3 days. Small group. Real training.

S.P.I.T. is the foundational program at StriderPI — the starting point for everyone serious about preparing for a career in private investigation. You won't sit through theory you'll never use. You'll train on a real case. You'll do live surveillance exercises in the field. And you'll leave with a licensing roadmap, a startup strategy, and the practical foundation to prepare for your first basic cases.

Classes run in small groups of 4 to 7 — enough to keep the experience personal and the feedback direct.

What you'll cover:

Day 1 — OSINT 101

A full day of open-source intelligence training, including Dave's OSINT Hack — a 45-minute framework that changes how you approach investigations. Then you apply it on a real cold case or active investigation, working as a team.

Day 2 — Surveillance 102

The 1890 Surveillance Exercise: 9 to 12 live surveillance scenarios in the field, with 15 minutes at each one to assess the situation and decide what to do. Your opposition is made up of former students who know exactly how to make it difficult.

Day 3 — Report Writing 103 & Startup Strategies 104

 The discipline that separates good investigators from great ones, followed by licensing guidance, niche selection, and how to structure your first weeks pursuing a PI career.

Who this is for

Total beginners. Career changers. Anyone who's thought about this for years and is finally ready to take the first real step. No law enforcement background required — just the drive to do the work.

Want in?

We'll confirm final dates shortly, but don't wait to raise your hand — the May class filled before the start date, and September is on track to do the same.

Apply for the September S.P.I.T. class or book a free consultation first to see if it's the right fit.

See you in the field.
