What our students say

I would like to extend my appreciation to CSPI for allowing me to attend this school and for helping me with my job search.... The school prepared me well for my new career in the Private Investigation field. I have already begun telling friends about CSPI.... Thanks so much, CSPI!!! for a brighter and more challenging future.

-CHRIS KANE

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the instructors and the Administration Department at the Canadian School of Private Investigation and Security Ltd. for all the knowledge that I've received while in school. The education was top-notch. I know I'll carry this knowledge with me wherever I go. Through the Job Placement Department I have been successfully placed with a very prestigious company working as a Private Investigator. I know that I wouldn't have gotten this job without the diligent effort of the Administration Staff, who went "above and beyond" to help with my search....Thank you!

I myself would find it hard to say I didn’t enjoy this class. It has been a great experience learning from the “Master” when it comes to security... its hard to describe this experience and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get into security or law enforcement.

Amazing!!! Tom is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He has gone above and beyond what he had to do. Very few teacher have skill to make people feel that they are “their student”.

KARRIE-ANN CURRELL

This course met my highest expectations. There was a great deal of information to be covered and limited time. The resulting pace was stimulating and challenging but that made the experience work. I learned better because of the format. Since much material is technical it balanced things out that there were so many illustrative stories. My interest in security work is high as a result

ROBERT MCMASTER

A great course for individuals looking to get into the security profession & prepare them for the ministry test. The teacher is very informative and wonderful to deal with, I highly recommend the course as it will give great insight into the Canadian legal system. I will be back soon to complete the Private Investigator course. Thanks again to the Canadians School of Private Investigation & Security

MATTHEW TYLER KERR

I enjoyed this class a lot. It informed me on a lot of stuff I didn’t know about security as well as Canadian Government that I had no clue about. The teacher was a great person to teach us. She knew not only how to get info to us but also how to keep us interested. She used personal exp vary well and that’s how she got a lot of my attention when teaching. The whole course had great flow and went together really well. I had fun in this class and also was taught a lot of info I can now take on to my work site in the future. I would give this class a 9 out of 10
