Browse our complete collection of Fortinet certification workbooks. Expert-crafted study materials designed to help you pass your certification exam.
FortiGate is one of the most deployed firewalls in the world, and Fortinet training is how you turn that demand into a job. Reading the admin guide won't get you there. You need to build policies, run NAT, set up VPNs, and watch traffic hit your rules in a live lab. Every workbook in this category is built to do exactly that.
Our FortiGate NSE4 workbook takes you through the full NSE 4 blueprint: firewall policies, NAT, routing, SSL and IPsec VPNs, security profiles, user authentication, and logging. Each lab hands you a topology, a task list, and a way to confirm the config works before you move on. You learn FortiGate by running it, not by memorizing screenshots.
New to the platform? Start with our plain-English explainer, what is a FortiGate firewall. It covers where FortiGate sits in a network and what it actually does, so the labs make sense from task one.
The workbook mirrors real admin work: locking down a network edge, giving remote staff secure access, segmenting traffic, and reading logs when something breaks. These are the same tasks the NSE 4 exam tests and the same ones a security team handles every week. Do them by hand and they stop being theory. You'll also get used to Fortinet's own way of doing things, from policy order to the quirks of security profiles, which is exactly what trips people up on the exam and on the job.
Fortinet sits near the top of the firewall market, so these skills travel. NSE 4 is the cert most job posts ask for, and it's the natural first rung on the Fortinet certification path. Clear it with real lab time behind you and you can walk into an interview ready to whiteboard a design, not just recite a definition.
Network and security techs who manage FortiGate at work, engineers switching from another firewall vendor, and anyone working toward Fortinet certification. If your shop runs FortiGate and you're still nervous in the console, this closes that gap fast. It also fits students who've finished a general security course and want a vendor skill they can actually put on a resume.
You don't need a physical appliance. Fortinet offers a FortiGate VM you can run in a virtual lab, and we walk you through it step by step in how to add a FortiGate VM to EVE-NG. If EVE-NG is new to you, our EVE-NG install guide gets the platform ready in about an hour. Import the VM, load the topology, and you're configuring firewalls the same day.
Pick the workbook below, spin up your FortiGate VM, and work the first lab today. Fortinet training that sticks is the kind you do with your hands. Build a policy, test it, break it, fix it. By exam day, the FortiGate console will feel routine, and so will the job it leads to.
