About the Certified Cyber Threat Forensic Investigator (CTFI) program

The Certified Cyber Threat Forensic Investigator (CTFI) 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 course is well-structured and self-paced. The concepts on cyber-attacks/exploitation, threat modeling, forensic and investigative approach (OSINT/SOCINT) are informative and explained well. Overall, a good course for learn more about cyber threats approach and forensic work.

Outstanding course, covers all the basics necessary to have a comprehensive "big picture" perspective on cyberthreats, yet allows motivated students to dive deeper into each topic via reading, resources, and a chat room where professionals can discuss materials and issues. Very professionally done, intuitive online class format, and great technical support. Will be taking other McAfee training courses in the future.

I have completed the Certified Cyber Threat Forensic Investigator (CTFI) course in 2015. I have experienced it as a good generic overview of types of cyber-crimes and how to combat them.

I came into this program with beginner to intermediate level knowledge & experience (depending on the topic). This course definitely took my knowledge base to the next level. This program provided me with relevant and useful skills & tools to take back to my organization. A couple of the lessons on social media was very basic and slow though. I felt that anyone taking this program should have a basic knowledge of what Google Hangouts or Skype is (for example).
