   Class "C" Private Investigator License Requirements


CLASS "C" PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR LICENSE REQUIREMENTS



Any individual who performs the services of a private investigator must have a
Class “C” license.


ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To qualify for a license, you must:

 * Be at least 18 years old. 
 * Be a citizen or legal resident alien of the United States or have been
   granted authority to work in this country by the Department of Homeland
   Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.


EXPERIENCE

An applicant for the Class "C" Private Investigator License must have two years
of lawfully gained, verifiable, full-time experience to qualify for the license.
This experience can be acquired through a combination of:

 * Private investigative work or related fields of work that provided equivalent
   experience or training;
 * College coursework related to criminal justice, criminology or law
   enforcement administration, or successful completion of any law
   enforcement-related training received from any federal, state, county or
   municipal agency, except that no more than one year may be used from this
   category; and
 * Work as a Class “CC” licensed private investigator intern. This internship is
   done at a licensed private investigative agency.


EXAMINATION

An applicant for the Class “C” license must pass an examination.

This examination will cover those parts of Florida law that deal directly with
the business practices of the private investigative industry and the legal
responsibilities of the individuals and agencies that work in that industry
(sections 493.6100 through 493.6203, and Section 493.6301(5), Florida Statutes).

You must pass the exam before applying for licensure and submit proof of having
passed the exam with your application.

We have contracted with Prometric Inc., a third-party testing company, to
provide exam services. Anyone who needs to take the exam should contact our
Public Inquiry Center at (850) 245-5300. One of our team members will
preregister you with Prometric. You will then receive an email from
registrations@isoqualitytesting.com with instructions on how to schedule your
exam either online or at one of Prometric’s facilities across the state and the
nation. A $63 exam fee is required and paid directly to Prometric Inc.

Please note: Although Prometric does offer the convenient option to complete the
exam remotely, if you have any technology-related concerns, it may be to your
advantage to schedule an in-person exam at one of Prometric’s locations.
