This is what our students have said about our programs
Don't take our word, see our testimonials


I have been a learner of McAfee for years now and it's worth every penny for the
certifications. The content is current and specific to the certifications.


Marc-Roger G.















I recently went through the SMIA and it was honestly, the #1 training course I
have attended in over 30+ years. I have been in the telecommunication, computer
and digital forensics industry for over 40 years. The 'tricks of the trade' you
will learn in the SMIA are second to none. Take one of these courses and at the
end, ask yourself, 'was it worth the time?' ... nuff said!


Gary T.




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.


Randy L.















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!!

TOP FAQ's
When does the program start?
Upon Enrollment you can start immediately! You have one year from purchase to
complete the final exam. Enjoy unlimited access to the program material and
future updates to the course!
I know that if I commit fully and apply what I learn, I’ll get tremendous value.
That said, how much time do I need to set aside each week?
If you plan to work through the program to be more effective at work in the
quickest and most effective manner, we recommend between 4-6 hours per week to
watch the training, complete your assignments and — if you’d like — engage with
our mentors and the community. Many of our students go through the program as
best they can; pause and return to it as their schedule allows.

If you’re not able to carve out that much time at first, don’t worry. You get
lifetime access to the training and can easily work at your own pace, on your
own schedule. Most of our students have full-time jobs or businesses and
families. This experience is designed to stretch you, but it can also be
customized to your life.

The more focus and dedication you put into the program, the more you’ll get out
of it. To be clear, there are no fast or guaranteed results.

Advancing your career, credibility, and expertise so that it actually matters is
not an 6-week, linear event. This program mirrors the reality of being one of
the best cyber intelligence & investigative professionals around the world —
it’s intense, time-consuming, demanding and something you’ll work on for the
life of your business.
Do I need to attend the C|OSINT at certain times or can I access it any time I
want?

You can access the material at your convenience. The core training consists of
pre-recorded videos, tutorials, investigative assignments, resources, and
worksheets so you can access the materials anytime you want. 
Are your programs accredited and recognized?

(National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) to issue Continuing
Professional Education (CPE) credits. We are also recognized by the NICCS
(National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies) and partners with
Homeland Security on this endeavor. Our programs are recognized throughout
thousands of law enforcement, 500 & 1000 organizations around the world. We have
gain industry recognition over the last 5 years as being one of the Fastest
Growing Companies on the INC 500. We are #1 in Education & #35 Fastest Growing
Companies out of 500 of the top companies around the world. We have also been
voted #1 in Illinois as The Best of the Best Places to Work.
Is everything online or do I need to travel?

Your entire program is conducted online from the comfort of your home, office,
park, or wherever else you would like to take it.
What are the eligibility requirements?

Bachelor’s degree or higher (no experience is needed)
OR
Associates degree plus 2 YEARS years of professional work experience in
e-commerce, fraud, investigations, IT, law enforcement, forensics, criminal
justice, law, and loss prevention
OR
High school diploma or equivalency plus 3 YEARS years of professional work
experience as stated above.



Also, a person convicted of a felony, any crime of moral turpitude or
misdemeanor relating to honesty, theft, embezzlement, fraud or the like shall be
ineligible to become a C|OSINT. The applicant must successfully pass the
prescribed background check, which may include a criminal background check and
examination process. Falsification or omission of information on the application
form will be reason enough to disqualify an applicant from becoming or remaining
Certified in Open Source Intelligence.
 What if I try this program and it doesn’t work for me — can I get my money
back?

Yes. We’re not here to hold anyone hostage. Here’s how our guarantee works.
  

Test drive the 5% of the program within the next 3 days and if you don’t feel
this program is right for you — just email our support team, show us your
completed coursework and we’ll issue you a fast and complete refund.

with people who are truly committed to taking massive, consistent action and

action as we are to supporting your success.
