Welcome to discoverycollege.education
Our Mission
To provide the highest quality legal fields education
and empower our students to achieve
their full potential in the workplace.
We are committed to making this happen through using innovative technology paired with good old-fashioned
instruction by instructors that love to teach.
All of our instructors are working experts and leaders in their fields. They teach and lead by example.
From our earliest days, we have been committed to excellence in everything we do, and this commitment has helped us become one of the most respected boutique legal education schools in the region.
Our History
Founded in 1994, as Discovery Detective Academy, we have a long history of providing exceptional adult education to students of all ages. 17 young - 82 years old.
Times and delivery methods of teaching have changed. In 1994 we had a brick-and-mortar school, used blackboards, had one computer for the instructor and one for the students, books, non-digital cameras, and our instructors taught live in a classroom on set schedules. If someone from out of the area wanted to attend, they had to temporarily move close to the school.
In 2002 we were one of the first schools to have a virtual component. We partnered with Adobe Connect, put cameras in the classroom and on the instructor, and had investigation students from around the country attending along with our brick-and-mortar students. A few international. To make it more interactive we installed a large at the time 40-inch TV monitor so the students could interact with the online students.
Between 2004 -2012 we expanded into courses other than investigations and process service taught at our school, and online. We expanded into certification courses for Liquor Law basic and managers for AZ DLCC, Security Guards and Armed Guards for DPS, NRA law enforcement courses, Food Safety managers for NRFSP and AZ Enviromental Health, and Continuing Education for the legal fields through the AZ Supreme Court. Even though eclectic, they are all law-based courses. Of course, we still taught Investigations as our primary diploma course licensed through AZ Private Post-secondary Education.
In 2012 we became DiscoveryCollege.education since we were not strictly an investigation school anymore.
Fast forward to the pandemic, we went primarily ONLINE VIRTUAL with the exception of private group classes where we come to the group and teach a private class. Now we teach and learn from anywhere with an internet connection.
2022 we started a hybrid teaching model. We are combining online on-demand courses, with a live virtual class component so students can study when they want with the exception of the much shorter live instructor portion.
The future looks bright for education. I can't wait to see what comes next!
