For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
Enterprise firewall teams often inherit distributed FortiGate environments where policy changes, routing updates, VPN deployments, and device onboarding create operational risk if they are handled inconsistently. This advanced Fortinet course is a strong fit for IT Directors assigning training to firewall administrators, network security engineers, and Team Leads who already work with FortiGate and need deeper FortiOS 7.6, FortiManager, HA, routing, VPN, automation, and Security Fabric skills.
The course runs about 13 hours, 49 minutes of instruction, so Training Managers can plan it as a focused 2–4 week enablement path per learner, with additional time for review and hands-on practice. Change-management value is strongest for teams standardizing FortiManager-based policy and device configuration, reducing reliance on one senior engineer, and preparing practitioners for the FCSS in Secure Networking path. CBT Nuggets Playlists and Team Reporting help Training Managers assign the path, monitor progress, and verify completion across the team.
