NSE 8 - Current status

[localhost]

While reading the NSE8 Exam description (http://www.fortinet.com/sites/default/files/NSE8_Certification_ExamDescription.pdf), some questions popped up.

Apparently the tested topics and firmware versions can change any time without notice.

Is there already a NSE8 update planned this year? If the topics and firmware versions would change, would these changes have a different exam number? So that you can choose to take the old or new exam?

It seems that the written exam can already be scheduled at pearson vue. Is the practical exam already out of beta?

How would a remotely scheduled session look like?

Hi Holy,

I think you may find the following Exam Description useful: https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/training/NSE8_Certification_ExamDescription.pdf

There is also a FAQ that might be of help:

Hi,

I passed the written. Personnally, I never use dump because :

1) is cheating

2) you learn nothing

3) you are not sure they are correct

If you are NSE4,5,6 and 7 (and you didn't use dump to pass the exam), you are able to pass the written. But you have to follow all the trainings, read the docs, ...

Hey,

I actually contacted PrepForce asking about NSE8 training (www.nse8.com) and ended up registering myself to this training. They seem to have very advanced bootcamp and lab scenarios that try to mimic real exam as much as possible. As the practical exam seems to be very hard, I decided to invest into preparation.

Cannot say much more about this, but after I finish training, I can let you know more.

Anton.T, 

We will be waiting for info after your bootcamp. When do you go to courses?

[Anton_T]

Ziltonas,

I will attend the training in mid September. I will definitely share my insights after.

Hello,

I'm preparing the NSE8 LAB exam but i'm asking about any LAB scenarios that I can use it.

Hi,

Have you taken the bootcamp? Is it worth it?
