About the Advanced Social Media Intelligence Gathering program

The Advanced Social Media Intelligence Gathering is a board-certified credential issued by McAfee Institute. Like every McAfee Institute program, it pairs a structured, self-paced curriculum with a proctored board examination, so the credential reflects demonstrated competence rather than attendance alone. Candidates work through the coursework on their own schedule, sit the board exam when ready, and maintain the credential over time. Enrollment is open to practitioners and to career changers who meet the program's eligibility criteria.

Enrollees in this program typically come from law enforcement, federal and state investigative agencies, corporate security, loss prevention, fraud and financial crime units, intelligence teams, the military, and adjacent private-sector investigative roles. The reviews below are written by people who held a confirmed enrollment record for this specific program, which is what the gold verified enrollment badge indicates: a matching order in McAfee Institute's system, not a self-declaration.

The average shown above is a plain arithmetic mean of every published review of this program, rounded to one decimal place, with no weighting and no exclusions. The distribution chart reports all five rating levels, including one- and two-star reviews. Reviews are listed newest first and are never reordered or filtered by rating.

Being newer to Social Media investigations this course was packed with value. From the handouts to understanding the legal aspect of what were doing. If you're a retail investigator/Loss Prevention I highly recommend this course. It's just another tool for our investigations. Thank you, McAfee! Keep up the outstanding work!

This was a great introductory course and showed some really good tips and techniques for searching social media sites. Also, a few of the websites revealed gave some really in-depth information which was perfect for the job I do. Great job!

I was a fan at first, then the never ending emails with an abuse of the scarcity principle. You need to stop that. You need to redo your powerpoints and add some interactivity. I really do believe in what you are doing but after awhile it just became kind of hacky and I know you guys are better than that.

This course provides a deeper detailed understanding of Social Media intelligence gathering methodologies, as well as an introduction to the legality of proper evidence gathering and expert witness preparation. Would recommend this course to anyone who is considering to work in cyber-investigations.

Talks more of what applications do but not how to use them. i.e Metalgo was only talked about but not how to use it. Overall your trainers are very good
