Excellent FortiGate training with real appliances
The Fortinet NSE course at CCN was outstanding. Working with real FortiGate firewalls in the lab gave me hands-on skills that I directly apply in my current role. The instructors are Fortinet-certified experts.

Great addition to my security skill set
Having already learned Palo Alto, adding Fortinet to my skill set was a strategic career move. The course is well-structured and the comparison between different firewall vendors was very insightful.

Comprehensive Fortinet curriculum
The course covers NSE 4 level content thoroughly. The SSL VPN and IPSec VPN labs were particularly useful. Would have liked more content on FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer.
