What's Included

If you're looking to rapidly gain lots of hands-on experience with Check Point Firewall-1/VPN-1 and complete the first two Check Point certifications (CCSA and CCSE), you may wish to consider our "Check Point CCSA and CCSE Certification Boot Camp" courses.  These are six day courses, including a very complete lab setup, lab exercises and lectures, and includes the Check Point CCSA or CCSE exams right in the classroom.  We've had a very high success rate in getting students Check Point certified within just one week.

Two Major Changes for Version R70:

1.  For versions R65 and before, the official Check Point courseware and exams were structured around a three-day CCSA course and a two-day CCSE course.  With R70, Check Point has greatly expanded the content of both courses to a full five days each.  The exams are correspondingly more comprehensive and longer.

2.  Check Point now requires students who have passed the CCSA exam for the first time to wait six months before becoming eligible to take the CCSE exam.

Therefore, beginning with our March, 2010 schedule, we're offering two separate courses:

CCSA Certification Course:  Six days, covers all the material for the expanded CCSA curriculum and includes the expanded certification exam right in the classroom.  Also includes full day course "Configure, Break and Repair Workshop: Hands-On Troubleshooting"

CCSE Certification Course:  Six days, covers all the material for the expanded CCSE curriculum and includes the expanded certification exam right in the classroom.

Our Instructor

Barry J. Stiefel ("Stee-ful"), CCSA, CCSE, CCSE+ CCSI, has eleven years' experience teaching both the official Check Point courseware and his own courseware custom-made for this class.  He was nominated for the Distinguished Teaching Award at the University of California and has personally coached more students through the Check Point certification exams than anyone else in the world.



Our Classroom

We use a very comfortable classroom with a lab purpose-built for our needs.

Every student gets two computers: the first has multiple NIC's and has the full Enterprise version of Firewall-1/VPN-1.  The second hosts multiple web servers, ftp servers, telnet servers, mail servers and networking monitoring software so we always know what's going on.

Of course we provide all the snacks and drinks you want.

Hotels

There are dozens of hotels located within walking distance of the classroom.  Here are a few.



Meals

Lunches and Dinners are included, and San Francisco is a great restaurant city.  See where we go for lunch and dinner.
