If you are looking for a way to catapult your investigative or intelligence career to the next level and distinguish yourself from everyone else in the industry, then look no further.

This is the first and ONLY professional training focused on cryptocurrency investigations throughout the entire world.

If you are wanting to learn how to conduct cryptocurrency investigations, then this program is for you.

For Investigation Professionals like You, the Demand for Investigation Expertise in the Cryptocurrency Realm Has Never Been Higher...

Within this program, you are going to discover cutting-edge techniques and real-world training in cryptocurrency investigations and position yourself as an industry-recognized expert.

Without the best training in cryptocurrency, digital currency, wallets, the blockchain, mining, visualization systems, and more, conducting quick and effective online investigations is nearly impossible!

If you currently feel...

  • Exhausted by time-consuming investigations... and you don't think there could possibly be enough hours in the day to perform thorough cryptocurrency research on criminals...
  • Tired of working harder and longer to conduct cryptocurrency investigations... instead try learning how to leverage the tools and resources needed to be able to resolve these types of investigations quickly and effectively.
  • Overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused with blockchain & cryptocurrency... and you have no idea how to identify or investigate criminal activity taking place.
  • Frustrated with your lack of success in your investigative career... and ready to establish credibility as an expert authority and finally take your career to the next level.

Get Trained by the Industry’s Premier and Most Recognized Nationally Accredited Training Organization… the McAfee Institute! 

Instead of Crawling to the Top of the Ladder, Why Not Propel Yourself There, with the Expert Credentials and Knowledge You Need to Succeed!

What if instead, each week you could access engaging video tutorials that explain this process in easy to comprehend terms and concepts designed to ensure the reader understands as quickly and completely as possible. What if we showed you exactly how to conduct cryptocurrency investigations more effectively and efficiently than you have ever dreamed possible? How about learning real-world applications and techniques through hands-on cryptocurrency investigative exercises?

What if you could tap into the unmatched knowledge and expertise of some of the world's foremost experts and practitioners, to understand how to maximize the knowledge gained from learning about the blockchain, mining, digital wallets, cryptocurrency, and more. 

WHEN YOU EARN THE NATIONALLY ACCREDITED CREDENTIAL YOU’LL BE POISED TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS AND EXCITING INTELLIGENCE AND INVESTIGATIVE CAREERS IN BOTH THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS.

With this training, you'll not only have the skills, knowledge, and expertise you need to track down criminals who use cryptocurrency for their criminal endeavors, but you'll also become known as an industry expert in conducting quick and effective online investigations.

In just a moment, you're going to discover robust training that will allow you to stand out from the competition, and climb the career ladder faster, by establishing yourself as a leading expert in the eyes of your employer and peers.

But first, it's imperative to shoot down one huge myth that keeps investigative professionals like you from reaching their full potential...

But Isn't Getting a Nationally Recognized Credential is Time Consuming and Expensive?

There's a huge myth among investigative professionals that goes something like this...

"No matter how you do it, getting nationally recognized credentials as an investigative professional takes a long time and is horribly expensive!"

But we're here to tell you that this entirely UNTRUE.

As one of the most recognized training organizations around the world in the intelligence and investigative sectors, McAfee Institute is dedicated to helping as many people as possible access the knowledge and expertise they need to position themselves as thought leaders in their market.

With the help of our national award-winning Founder and CEO, Josh McAfee, who is one of the most recognized and most in-demand authorities in the industry, we've created one of the most exciting and sought after programs to ever hit the intelligence/investigative industry!
