On the CPD group on LinkedIn there is a good discussion on the PI exam.
If you want the SIA PI licence IMHO it is best to wait for the SIA to come to a decision before paying for training.

Good discussion. Don`t make the same mistake as I did 12 months ago and pay for a PI course that effectively is worthless, although I did learn from it I can`t apply for the licence from it. Anyone who undertakes any form of Surveillance will need the licence.

I know ISS Training is now offering the PI course that will be accredited for the future SIA licence -

Licencing for PI’s is still ‘work in progress’ but the government has stated that Private Investigators wil have to be licenced by Autumn 2014. The SIA requirements to obtain a licence are:-

We will be conducting a 6 day course to meet these requirements.
Any previous qualifications that are security or investigative related will not be accepted by the SIA but you will need the Level 3 PI Award. However, if you feel competent or experienced, you will be permitted to just sit the assesment test after providing evidence of such work (to be clarified shortly).
We will also be conducting 'Assessment Days' where you will be able to undergo a period of revision and then sit the assessment in the same day.
We will be publishing further details for the Assessment Days in due course.
