Police Magazine called the National Institute of Bail Enforcement the "Harvard of Bounty Hunters." Contrary to a physical defense-heavy curriculum, the school focuses on the business of bounty hunting. Students will learn how to use their telephone and networking skills to apprehend fugitives. The school holds two-day classes each month at satellite training locations across the U.S. (excluding January and December). As of 2010, the institute organizes private courses by appointment for groups of 10 or more, and one-on-one lessons with the company founder and seasoned recovery agent, Scott Olson.
