CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR
NORTH CAROLINA PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS

Continuing Education Rules & Regulations for North Carolina Private Investigators

PI Education online continuing education courses for private investigators satisfy some of your continuing education requirements for North Carolina.

All PI Education online continuing education courses have been approved by the North Carolina Private Protective Services Board and can be verified here: BOARD APPROVED CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE. 

The following are the North Carolina rules regarding private investigator continuing education as posted and mandated by the licensing authority:

  • NC PI licensees must complete 12 hours of continuing education prior to their license renewal.
  • CEUs must be obtained during the two year period prior to license renewal and “extra CE hours” cannot be carried over.
  • Only 6 hours may be obtained by asynchronous online courses. Most of our courses are asynchronous online courses, unless otherwise specified as a live/virtual course.
  • The PPSB criteria for awarding continuing education credit for online courses is as follows
    • It defines a   “live” course as one that is delivered in person or online in real-time where an instructor is available to answer questions or facilitate discussion.
    • A licensee may obtain 12 hours of required continuing education from live courses during the 2-year license period.
    • The Board also clarified that asynchronous online courses, such as those that are recorded and self paced without a live instructor, are restricted to a maximum of six hours of continuing education per 2-year license period.
    • If you take a PI Education asynchronous online course you will only receive a maximum of 6 hours of CE credit in NC for our online courses, even if you take a 12 or 8 hour course.
    • Our live/virtual courses are posted here: PI Education Live Virtual Classroom

To receive Continuing Education credit, a licensee must:

1.  Attend a PPSB approved continuing education course.

2.  Sign an attendance Roster upon arrival at the training class site. (Accomplished online through user registration)

3.  Obtain a CE Certificate of Completion from the instructor upon completion of the class.

4.  Attach the Certificate of Completion to the license renewal form and submit it to the PPSB office with license renewal paperwork. (Do not send certificates into the PPSB prior to license renewal.)

5.  Every Licensee must also submit the “Licensee’s Statement of Continuing Education Hours.” The licensee fills out this form and signs it verifying they have meet and taken the required twelve (12) hours of continuing education hours to renew their licensee. (Do not send Licensee’s Statement of Continuing Education Hours into the PPSB prior to license renewal.)
