Q: How much do the exams cost?
Exams vary in price between US $150-$350, but exact pricing is available through Pearson VUE. Practice exams are $50.

Q: What is the format of the exams?
The exams are composed of multiple choice and scenario questions. All questions are "Select the BEST answer" type questions. There are no multiple response answers.

Q: How long are the exams?
The exams are 100 questions to be completed in 90 minutes in all English-speaking countries. Non-English speaking countries receive an additional 15 minutes.

Q: What is the difference between "Certification" and "Accreditation"?
Check Point recognizes those professionals who have passed a rigorous, thorough examination process with a "Certification". Certifications are based on proctored exams derived from comprehensive job models and detailed instructional objectives.
Accreditations are derived from product specific content exams delivered in a less formal examination setting and recognize an individual's effort to stay current on the latest products.

Q: What versions are available?
Our Current certifications are based on R77.30 and the R80.10.

Q: How long does a certification last?
Certification, like security, must be kept current to be truly effective - which is why we strongly encourage you to constantly refresh and keep your certification current. Certifications expire after 24 months.

Q: Where can I take a Check Point certification exam?
Check Point professional certification exams are proctored through Pearson VUE, a third party testing vendor with over 3.500 locations worldwide. You can register for any Check Point exam and earn your certification by visiting their Website and creating a Web Profile. Additionally, our exams are now available via Pearson VUE Online Proctoring, where exams are delivered by a live proctor to your workstation. To learn more or register, visit pearsonvue website.

Q: Do I have to take classes in order to take the exams?
No, it is possible to take an exam with only your own experience or self-study using the Check Point courseware, but we highly recommend taking a class instead. Instructor-led training accelerates and focuses your learning, gives you hands-on experience and an opportunity to make mistakes in the lab, and is much more cost-effective than self-study in your spare time.

Q: I know that CCSA certification is a prerequisite for CCSE. Can I achieve a CCSE R80 certification with a CCSA R70 or later certification?
No. Since R80 is a completely new product version with many new features, only the CCSA R80 certification provides the background necessary to be a prerequisite to CCSE R80 certification. However, if you have a CCSE based on NGX or the Blade technology, you are eligible to take our upgrade exam #156-915.80 to earn your CCSE R80 certification.

Q: My R70 certifications have already expired. Do I need to start over with CCSA R80 to update to CCSE R80?
Actually, you don't. Even though your certification has expired, the eligibility for updates to the latest version has not. If you
ever held a CCSE certification, you are eligible for the Update exam.
