Distance Learning Continuing Education

TALI's highly-successful "Distance Learning" program is open to all licensed investigators.

Please note: Investigators in states other than Texas are responsible for checking with their own state's licensing agency to ensure that TALI's Distance Learning courses will count toward their state-mandated continuing education requirements. TALI does not claim that our CE courses are approved for any state licensing requirements other than the State of Texas. All of our courses are approved by the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau, and meet all requirements for state-mandated continuing education requirements for licensed private investigators in Texas.

This is how the program works:

	Click here to proceed to an online order form where you will select the course(s) that you would like to take;
	Once your order is complete and received by us, the course will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours. All courses are in PDF format. This is easily viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a free program. Once you open the PDF file, you can print the material on your own printer. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here to download the free file.
	Complete the course materials and return the brief questionnaire as instructed in the course materials.
	As soon as your questionnaire is received and verified that you have studied the course materials, verification will be e-mailed to you as your proof to TXDPS-PSB that you have successfully completed "x" hours of CE from TALI.
