About the Certified Forensic Hi-Tech Investigator (CFHI) program

The Certified Forensic Hi-Tech Investigator (CFHI) 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.

I am about 1/2 through the course I am really liking it a lot of information to digest.

The course/certification was a good overview and a good introduction to the area of cyber forensics for people who may not have as much of a background in technology. That being said, I was hoping for a little more in-depth and possibly hands-on learning experience, and the course seemed overly easy for me (since I do have a fairly extensive background in technology - mostly focusing on security and some forensics).

The course was amazing. I was worried it would be over my head as I know the basics of computers and phones, as I am no computer wiz. The course takes you from ground zero on up so that any experience level could grasp the teachings. I wish they showed how to make a second copy of the evidence from different devices like computers, Android phones and IPhones. I do know that this probably changes all the time so may not be practical as it could be outdated quickly with how fast technology grows. I would recommend this course to others.

This course provides the essentials in computer and cyber forensics and is a great source to cyber investigative and computer forensics work. I however, suggest that more hands-on case studies and examples be included in the coursework!

I took this course to gain experience and develop skills in Digital Investigations and advance my career in the private sector. This course was beyond my expectations and I learned a lot I cant wait to start on a new course or a start on a micro degree. This was a excellent course and I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to further their career. This is the best Digital Investigations course out there.
