I’m Hal Humphreys, criminal defense investigator and director of instruction at PI Education. I’ll be honest with you: We’re a small, upstart company comprised of actual human beings, not some inaccessible corporate juggernaut. We understand that there are lots of bigger, slicker continuing education companies to choose from. But no other company offers you all this: high-quality CE that’s useful and fun; full transparency; a vast archive of free articles, podcasts, and webinars to enjoy; and personalized customer service. You can talk to a real person anytime by phone or email and get your CE questions answered.
You are going to love our courses. They’re taught by us — real-life investigators, experts in our fields, and published authors, with years of experience doing the work and running a business. We understand your triumphs and struggles because we’ve lived them ourselves. And we’ve designed these courses with you in mind, because we understand what busy professionals need most: practical, engaging coursework that helps us do our work better and doesn’t bore us senseless. If you learn with us, you’ll never feel like just another number on a spreadsheet. We love this work, and we love sharing hard-won lessons from the field with aspiring investigators and mid-career professionals. So if you have to take your continuing education and want to have a blast doing it, we’re your best bet!
