Feedback regarding the course
I’m quite impressed with the content material. It’s straightforward no nonsense learning. It’s relevant and beneficial as an educational tool for LE professionals seeking to upskill without the complexities of admission to tertiary institutions. The undertaking is not something to be sneezed at given the time involved to cover the content. I’d like to see course offerings on forensics and scene of crime analysis! Perhaps that’s in the works!

I was not familiar with this program when I first found the MacAfee website. I was concerned it might be of little value. However, this program is very robust, comprehensive, and was very challenging on a number of different levels.
