Excellent Course Content  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐   

I have taken two courses with McAfee Institute to date (CCII and CECI). While the CECI contained material that I had already seen in the CCII course, it served as a great refresher for me. The course material, manuals and supplemental documentation in both courses will prove very useful in my current role in Cyber Security.

Hugh Campbell ✅ Verified Review

Incredible Value ⭐⭐⭐⭐   

The tremendous value that McAfee Institute provided in this course was beyond my expectations. The pdf manuals that they provide are easily worth the cost of the program. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance the staff always provide top notch customer service. They really do care about you achieving your professional goals and career advancement. Another great value they provide is 24/7 access to your course material. There are times when I am conducting an investigation and I need to refresh my skills on a particular subject. I simply go back to the course, watch the video or review the pdf manuals and the tool I need is available to me. You cannot put a price on this kind of access. I have found a few similar programs but they are limited to one year access. You cannot beat McAfee Institute for value, service and continued access to information. I recommend this course; Thank you,

Very Comprehensive and Relevant Information ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I thoroughly enjoyed the CCIE course, the extensive amount of information that is provided in this course is phenomenal, and extremely current. This course provides the type of learning platform that is perfect for the type of individual who does not have the ability to designate set days/times for learning. I do not enjoy taking classes that only requires reading as the only learning method, McAfee Institute has done an outstanding job of integrating relevant videos into each learning
