The Fortinet Training Institute provides certification and training in the growing field of cybersecurity. The program includes a wide range of self-paced, instructor-led, and virtual instructor-led training, as well as practical, experiential exercises that demonstrate mastery of complex network security concepts.

The Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) curriculum has been updated and improved with new courses and additional certifications. Kindly review all of the update information below and carefully listen to the following YouTube video, before selecting any courses.

Do not select all courses at once – just a couple or a few at a time at most. Before enrolling in a course please ensure you have reviewed all curriculum update information, and that you are entering at the correct level of training – or the courses allowed by the Program partner. If you have little or no technical or networking training, start at the Fortinet Certified Fundamentals (FCF) and then the non-certification Fortinet Networking Fundamentals course before Fortinet Certified Associate (FCA) – DO NOT START AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOUR ABILITIES. DO NOT SELECT THE CERTIFICATION LEVEL, BUT RATHER THE COURSE OPTIONS BELOW IT.

Also, ensure you are entering with the proper syntax for your first name, last name and email address:

• First name – not all caps, not all lowercase
• Last name – not all caps, not all lowercase
• Email address – all lowercase or your entry will not be uploaded to Fortinet’s system

Do not jump in at a higher course level than necessary, and do not register for all courses at once please. This program provides free exam vouchers for NSE 4 only – once you have validated successful completion of NSE 4. To bypass NSE 4 is a wasted opportunity at certification.
