NSE 6

[vijay6800]

Hi , I am preparing for the NSE 6 Security specialist exam. Is this mandatory to write the 4 specialist exams to clear the NSE 6 certification? 

Certificate Name: NSE 6 - Security Specialist Requirements: Complete 4 Fortinet Specialist tracks Exam: Specialist Exams[style="background-color: #ffff00;"] (or coursework where no exam exists)[/style] Recommended coursework: Fortinet Specialist courses

In this what it is mean by (or coursework where no exam exists) . Instead of writing the exam can we complete the NSE 6 certification while going those self placed courses?

FortiWeb Instructor-led Course + Lab  .

FortiMail Instructor-Led Course  .

Hi,

as far as I understand the NSE 6 certification will be granted for completion of the LAB if there is no exam yet! (so only for the ADC and Authenticator - the rest has examsout there!)

And as I was told at the GPC - all NSE 6 certifications will get migrated to Pearson VUE exams this year ....

Hi Vijay,

For certification questions, please contact:

nse@fortinet.com

There are exams for all courses now. So you should pass either 4 Specialist exams or the standalone NSE 6 exam at Pearson VUE that is coming. FortiAuthenticator is the first exam that we put at Pearson VUE. I am looking into why the FortiADC D exam on the LMS is currently inactive. All other exams have links in the LMS; they are not yet migrated to Pearson VUE.

Regards,

Courtney

The FortiADC D Specialist Exam in the LMS has been re-activated.

Hi Courtney,

You mentioned a NSE6 standalone exam - would this exam cover all the appliances in NSE6 or would there be an exam per appliance i.e. as is with FortiAuthenticator?

[Courtney_Schwartz]

At the Global Partner Conference 2016 and in the recent ATC webinar, we announced that NSE 6 exams are moving to Pearson VUE.

Now you will have a choice of either:

[ul]

1 standalone NSE 6 exam, where you choose four products that will comprise your test, and passing it automatically grants NSE 6 certification

4 individual Specialist exams, taken at separate times; when four are complete, you should ask our Operations team for your NSE 6 certification[/ul]

So for NSE 6, you will still "pick 4" and study only those. The requirement hasn't changed. Just available formats of the exam: split, or standalone.

Will the price of four individual exams be comparable to the price of the four in one exam?

[Courtney_Schwartz]

I haven't seen the prices yet. You can ask:

There are some actual tests with NSE5 modules. But i don't find any test with NSE6 FortiAuthenticator module. Is that correct? or am i looking in wrong place?

[adrewnixon]

Yeah, that's correct. The NSE6 FortiAuthenticator module doesn’t have a dedicated test like the NSE5 modules. Instead, it’s typically covered under broader NSE6 exams that include multiple Fortinet products. If you’re prepping for it, I highly recommend checking out study4exam. They’ve got some great practice questions for NSE6 topics, including FortiAuthenticator, which helped me a ton when I was studying.
