The Fortinet learning center available to partners is worth it' s weight in Gold if you have never touched a device before. Lots of awesome You Tube videos (especially for FortiOS 5) that have been posted by Fortinet.

If you want to get the FCNSA and FCNSP certs, imo the admin manuals are the best guides.

And nothing is more valuable than practical experience. Just download FortiGate VM and use the free 15-day trial license including all features :)

I second the VMs.  There is nothing like getting hands on with the technology.
