1. Introduction

The intelligence and investigative sectors face ongoing changes and emerging threats that impact how intelligence and investigative professionals meet their organizations and or agencies needs. As such, the knowledge and skills investigators need to possess to provide professional assurance and consulting services continually evolve. The McAfee Institute requires their board-certified professionals to enhance their knowledge, skills, and other competencies through continuing professional development. This requirement helps ensure that professionals in our sector remain competent in the growing and dynamic profession of intelligence and investigations.

Moreover, those who have obtained a professional board certification through The McAfee Institute (henceforth referred to as “certified individuals”) are required to obtain continuing professional development. This document outlines the continuing professional education (CPE) requirements for all McAfee Institute certifications and specifies the CPE reporting process for certified individuals who wish to keep their certifications in good standing.
