About the Certified Cyber Intelligence Investigator (CCII) program
The Certified Cyber Intelligence Investigator (CCII) 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.

For what the course was, it was alright. The information was very beneficial and even some of the examples had their worth. What brings it done is that for some things like the "Digital Forensics demo" there wasn't any premade data that I could use to show me what the program can really do and that made watching the video a little pointless. Another, is that some of the videos although were alright, are completely unnecessary. Update the lessons to match current technology so that everything is up to date and can provide an even better experience.
Very informative, helpful for career development and up to date information.

I have to say I was really taken back by the amount of support and the information from the course. I halfway through and I can say that McAfee has really taken the time to research the program. I am learning new skills and refreshing some old ones. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to pursue a future in Cyber Investigations.

I enjoyed taking this course for a number of reasons; getting started was very simple, the curriculum was very easy to digest and expanded on a few throngs that I thought I knew well but didn't. The videos are segmented so it helps retain the info and allows you to reference things later on much easier. The staff at McAfee are very friendly and extremely helpful to your learning experience. I will be taking many more classes with them.
A very Good and thorough course. If I had to do it over again, I would.

First, this course is constructed like you are actually the investigator charged with discovering evidence of a crime using the same tools the criminals use when setting up their operation. Having assisted the US Secret Service in a hacker case in 1991, this course would have been invaluable had it been in existence back then. It covers many aspects of the internet and how using search engines and databases to follow trails left by criminals can result in arrests and/or convictions when the rules of evidence are followed. I would recommend this course highly if the student is planning on accelerating their career as the internet is fast becoming the go-to for criminals and scammers.

A very well designed course - nice spread of information in the way it is presented (reading assignments and video) especially liked the ability to replay the information as often as I required. The information and steps to perform the learning tasks in the 'real world' allowed me to fully understand the processes and the methods to be successful

I have been going through this course from past 5 days and completed my certification exam very smoothly, i suggest, to read the material and practice quiz sessions and that is the key to get certified, as Joshua said.

Great starter course for someone getting into this field. A few of the concepts I did not agree with but hey, that's what learning is all about.

This was a great course. However, I would recommend a module which covers the establishment of a mis-attrib network and tradecraft for developing undercover personas for LEO. The hand outs are fantastic.

I just completed the CCII course and I have to say I was impressed. A lot of my work is around Open Source Intelligence and Cyber related investigations, so not all the material was new to me. That being said the material relating to Fraud was very interesting and has made me look at sites like eBay in a totally different way. If your job is related to seeking out the truth via the internet then this course is definitely worth the time and money.
This course was a great eye opener to see many of the aspects of fraud that are all around us everyday. The concept of using many resources that are available for free or at minimal cost to execute investigations was very intriguing. Showing the tools and concepts with examples was enjoyable to watch and then executing the concepts on your own, builds a good foundation for the next generation of cyber investigators. Thanks for putting this course together.
