Good news if you've been meaning to sign up: we've got two SPIT course dates on the calendar for September.

SPIT 20: September 17–19 (Thursday through Saturday)
SPIT 21: September 22–24 (Tuesday through Thursday)
Whichever September session you choose, you'll get the same three-day, hands-on training experience — here's what those three days of the Strider PI private investigator training course look like:
S.P.I.T. — Strider Private Investigator Training
Day 1 — OSINT 101

Start with a full day of open-source intelligence training.
You'll learn Dave's OSINT Hack, a 45-minute framework designed to change the way you approach online investigations.
You'll then put those techniques into practice by working as part of a team on a real cold case or active investigation.
Day 2 — Surveillance 102

Take your investigation skills into the field with the 1890 Surveillance Exercise.
You'll work through 9–12 live surveillance scenarios, spending approximately 15 minutes at each location assessing the situation and deciding on your next move.
The scenarios aren't designed to be easy. Former students act as your opposition, using their own experience with the course to make each exercise as challenging and realistic as possible.
Day 3 — Report Writing 103 & Startup Strategies 104

Learn how to turn investigative work into clear, professional reports — one of the skills that can make a significant difference between an average investigator and an effective one.
The final part of the course focuses on the business side of becoming a private investigator, including licensing guidance, choosing a niche, developing a startup strategy, and understanding what those first weeks of pursuing a PI career can look like.
Who Should Enroll in S.P.I.T. Private Investigator Training?
S.P.I.T. is designed for people at the beginning of their PI journey — whether you're a complete beginner, considering a career change, or have been thinking about becoming a private investigator for years.
No law enforcement experience is required — just a willingness to learn, get hands-on, and put in the work.
Ready to Start Your Private Investigator Training?
Seats are limited, so if you've been thinking about it, this is your sign to get in touch and lock in your spot.
See you in class.
