If you're looking to rapidly gain lots of hands-on experience with Check Point Firewall-1/VPN-1 and complete the first two Check Point certifications (CCSA and CCSE), you may wish to consider our course called "Check Point CCSA / CCSE Dual-Certification Boot Camp".  It's a six day course, including a very complete lab setup, lab exercises and lectures, and includes the Check Point CCSA and CCSE exams right in the classroom.  We've had a very high success rate in getting students dual-certified within just one week.

Stiefel ("Stee-ful"), CCSA, CCSE, CCSE+ CCSI, has nine years' experience teaching both the official Check Point courseware and his own courseware custom-made for this class.  He was nominated for the Distinguished Teaching Award at the University of California and has personally coached more students through the Check Point certification exams than anyone else in the world.

About Our Classroom

We use a very comfortable classroom with a lab purpose-built for our needs.

Every student gets two computers: the first has multiple NIC's and has the full Enterprise version of Firewall-1/VPN-1.  The second hosts multiple web servers, ftp servers, telnet servers, mail servers and networking monitoring software so we always know what's going on.

Of course we provide all the snacks and drinks you want.

Hotels and Meals

Lunches and Dinners are included, and San Francisco is a great restaurant city.  See where we go for lunch and dinner.

There are dozens of hotels located within walking distance of the classroom.  Here are a few.
