Customer Reviews

If you’re looking for a great PI training program in Ontario without breaking the bank, then you must contact the Smith investigation Agency. From experience, they were professional, courteous and quickly responded to questions I had arising from the PI training. I would definitely recommend this agency to any individual wanting to endeavor in the field of private investigation. Great service!

Pierre T

I would like to say the process of signing up for a PI course through Smith Investigation Agency was very smooth and no bumps between. If any small issues arose, they were quick to respond via email within minutes if not seconds. I have currently completed the PI course through this agency, and it was of great help and definitely a great course I would suggest to anyone choosing a career path in the security guard or investigative field.

I own a small business not located in the area, and I was searching for a company (in Northern Ontario) that offers Private Investigative services. I needed a company that could provide a variety of services vs. just one. After looking at a few companies online, I realized that many of them were unprofessional and couldn’t give direct answers to my very simple questions.

Ashely V

Whitney is a very competent investigator and is experienced in Insurance, WSIB, corporate investigations, and labor dispute management. I would recommend Whitney without hesitation.

Jim Bradley

Thank you for your services and moral support. The speed, thoroughness and follow up are very much appreciated. The service was timely and well done. I wanted answers, and you provided them.

M. K.

The process of taking the PI course was painless and the course was relatively plain sailing. I completed the course in about 10 days as I fitted it in between my other activities and commitments. You could probably complete it in only 3 or 4 days if you compressed and really focused. All in all, I’d def recommend this course if you wish to become licensed as a PI or security guard.

Chris Warrender

The Private Investigator course offered by The Smith Investigation Agency really is number one and for good reason. It was simple to follow but also engaged and challenged the reader to learn the content rather then just read through it. I have done many online courses but they all fall short when compared to the practicality of this course. 5/5 stars, would HIGHLY recommend.

Brandan Yasin

I completed a training program through this agency and I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. The service was quick and couteous and they went out of their way to help me avoid a potentially serious licensing mistake on my part. I would highly recommend the Smith Investigation Agency for both PI services and training.

Anonymous Extremely fast responses from the owner when needing help and a great online private investigator course at a fair price. I would recommend this company to any individual looking to become an investigator.

I needed surveillance as fast as possible and after talking with Whitney in the morning I was reassured that it would be in place by the evening and it was. Everything was discussed upfront and agreed upon. No surprises. When it came time for the report it was concise, to the point and accurate. They delivered when they said they would. This is a very professional agency that is well informed and a pleasure to do business with.

The Smith Investigation Agency was prompt in the service they provide. Very good course at your own leisure. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
