Announcement – Pearson VUE Certification

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak and in compliance with the regulations set by our government during the lockdown period, Pearson VUE has closed all its proctored training centers. It is unclear as to when access to NSE certification exams will be widely available, either through remote proctoring or test centers re-opening. As a contingency, Fortinet is extending NSE certification expiry dates for six months, from the date of the test center closures. This extension applies to  all NSE levels, regardless of when certification was granted.

NSE Free Training Campaign

On March 30th, Fortinet launched a Free Training campaign. This campaign will focus on free NSE 1 and NSE 2 training for the general public. In addition, they will offer a new free course called FortiGate Essentials, which is targeted to technical individuals. The FortiGate Essentials course consists of a subset of NSE 4 training modules and will be made available as self-paced training. The course description for this course [link to document].
