Hi,

I asked to the training team one month ago, here is the reponse :

[size="3"]

The current NSE 5 certification exam is based on FortiOS 5.2 and includes FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager. The certification exam will be updated later this year and will be based on FortiOS 5.4 and will include FortiSIEM.

Hi Lucas, hows NSE 5 exam? Are you certified already?

NSE5 is, in my humble opinion, one of the most "tricky" exams in the sense that you should have a good knowledge, both technical and practical, related to FAZ and FMG.

Questions (and answers) are sometimes long to read so you should move fast in order to avoid to finish your time

Hi

Yes, I passed the exam. If you are familiar with FMG/FAZ, it's not so difficult (in my opinion). But it's more difficult than the NSE6 exam, like Alby said, you have to know the product, not only the theory. For exemple, I passed the NSE6 without any knowledge of the product (fsa, fac, fml and fwb).

Hi everyone,

I'm sitting the NSE 5 exam next week.

I have a few questions:

1. Are there many SQL related questions in the exam?

2. Are there only FMG and FAZ related questions, or are there Fortigate questions as well in the exam?

3. Last year when I sat the NSE 4 exam I trained using the end-of-course questions from the online self-paced courses, available from the Fortinet Training site (https://gm1.geolearning.com/geonext/fortinet/login.geo), as well as as a practice exam. Unfortunately since December 2016 this was replaced by the NSE Institute training site (https://training.fortinet.com/) available from the Fortinet Partner Portal (https://partnerportal.fortinet.com/English/). There are no end-of-course questions anymore now, and no practice exam.

So at this point I am practically going to the exam without any kind of practice, except my own working knowledge with FAZ and FMG and the NSE 5 course theory.

What did you use for practice?

Regards,

Horatiu
