About the Certified Organized Retail Crime Investigator (CORCI) program
The Certified Organized Retail Crime Investigator (CORCI) 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.

Reviews of the Certified Organized Retail Crime Investigator (CORCI)
This is my third course with the McAfee Institute. I consider their content to be a modern approach to ORC. They covered what an investigator should know about ORC, the structure, the process and the legality surrounding the role. As an experienced ORC investigator I chose this course not only as a refresher but to keep up-to-date on any training that is available. I highly suggest this course to Investigators who are new to ORC. It will give you a good insight into what you may face and other concepts of investigations.
Great
Fantastic course filled with a ton of Information with top notch instructors.
Excellent experience
First and foremost, thank you McAfee Institute! I recently completed the course and the next day I found an online fencing operation that is selling my company's products. I am excited to apply all of the skills that I learned! I highly recommend this course to anyone in the ORC field
The auction fraud lesson gave me the skills to recently locate an online fencing operation that was selling my company's product! Thank you McAfee Institute and I'm looking forward to taking more classes!
Definitely worth every penny! The platform is user friendly and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable!
AWESOME!!! chatting with Leah was great, she gave me info that I was able to get in on the BOGO - which was a sweet deal. Leah was pleasant and professional. very welcoming!
I recently just went through the Board Certified "Certified Organized Retail Crime Investigator" (CORCI) course. I immediately fell in love with the course layout and platform which was simple to use and navigate. The content of the course was also excellent. Whether you have been conducting ORC investigations for 50 years or 1 day there is something for everyone. For me, there was a nice mix of reading work, video tutorials, and assignment work that helped me gain the knowledge I needed in order to pass the final exam. 2 day's after passing the exam I came a crossed a real life situation at work in which I was able to obtain a ton of information to build a nice foundation for my investigation. I would recommend this course to everyone in Loss Prevention and Law Enforcement. I am grateful for the McAfee Institute for all of the value that they bring to our small community of LP and LE professionals! Sincerely, Eric Mizner, LPQ, CORCI
I just recently began my endeavor towards the CORCI Board Certification. I am very pleased with the curriculum and how it is presented. It is very informative. It includes written information which I personally print out for future review and study, in addition to audible lectures from an instructor.
This course digs deep and covers everything you need to know about ORC. It's self paced and easily explained, was 100% worth it. Will be interested in taking more courses here at the McAfee Institute.
I came away with a lot regarding the resources available to help aid during investigations (i.e. MetaData, Maltego, Advanced Search for EBay). The training offered many additional ones that all investigators should at least make themselves aware of to support your research and findings. Great purchase and good refresher.
The course was incredibly comprehensive. The level of detail went far beyond what I expected...in a very good way. As a security professional and investigator for over 20 years I can say that there was so much I didn't know. I'll be a better investigator and leader as a result. The course consists of a great deal of video and reading assignment, which helped to break it up. While some may know some of the content, it's unlikely that you will take this course and not learn a great deal of new techniques and best practices. Worth every penny.
Solid information and user friendly. Plenty of info shared and real life applications.
I think that you should also offer a course for individuals that have dealt with ORC before so that we can skip the basic information. There were a few chapters that I could have skipped due to my prior knowledge. Overall this course was informative.
Great course absolutely worth it and I really enjoy the new web page McAfee has makes navigation much easier.
Informative
I am a Detective assigned to the Economic Crime Unit at Upper Merion Township Police Department. The King of Prussia Mall, the 2nd largest mall in the United States with over 500 stores in 3.8 million square feet of retail space is located within our jurisdiction, so you can see how important a course such as Organized Retail Crime Investigator would be to our Police Department. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is involved in Economic Crime _ Detectives, Uniformed Officers and Loss Prevention Personnel. The information provided is invaluable. The support team - Justice Simone - was top notch in answering all my questions and keeping me on track. The course provided me with a solid foundation to build upon. I was able to put to use, immediately, the techniques that were being taught in each module. Cant' wait to start the next course and expand my knowledge base. Thank you!!
