Agenda: Fortinet NSE Xperts Academy

The focus of the NSE Xperts Academy is to provide in-depth training to help you get to your next NSE level, including NSE 8.

If you are not already NSE 4 certified, we recommend that you take the NSE 4: FortiGate Security track and self-study NSE 4: FortiGate Infrastructure track. Please check the course descriptions for both courses.

Note: You can enroll in the FortiGate Security and FortiGate Infrastructure courses at NSE Institute. The FortiGate Security course and FortiGate Infrastructure course are intended to help you prepare for the NSE 4 certification exam.

A Pearson VUE testing center will be available on site for your exam(s) on Thursday, November 14.

Be sure to check flight departure times on Thursday evening. If you can complete your training and NSE certification exams, you are free to depart that evening. Chicago O'Hare has more than 2,000 daily arrivals and departures, giving you flexibility in your travel.
