The Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) program is an eight-level training and certification program that is designed to provide interested technical professionals with an independent validation of their network security skills and experience. The NSE program includes a wide range of self-paced and instructor-led courses, as well as practical, experiential exercises that demonstrate mastery of complex network security concepts.

The first Network Security Associate certification teaches you about the threat landscape. This course provides you with a basic understanding of the ever-increasing threat landscape that impacts networks today.

The Network Security Professional designation identifies your ability to configure, install, and manage the day-to-day configuration, monitoring, and operation of a FortiGate device to support specific corporate network security policies. The Network Security Professional training is composed of two courses: FortiGate Security and FortiGate Infrastructure.

The Fortinet Network Security Analyst designation recognizes your ability to implement network security management and analytics using Fortinet security devices. The Network Security Analyst curriculum offers four courses. Fortinet recommends this curriculum for network and security professionals who require the expertise to centrally manage, analyze, and report on Fortinet security devices.

Public training content is based on the standard NSE training curriculum. Customization is not possible for public training sessions.

Fortinet instructors deliver the private training session onsite at the customer’s facility, or online through a virtual classroom application.

This is the traditional training that occurs in a classroom, where the instructor presents the material to the students in the same facility.

This is instructor-led training that is delivered live over the Internet. Students attend sessions using an online classroom application.

Students can access previously recorded lessons, online videos, and quizzes on the NSE Institute portal to gain essential knowledge.
