The Fortinet Certified Trainer (FCT) assessment workshop is a trainer evaluation process in which each candidate has to prove their training delivery skills. The FCT assessment workshop is a two-day assessment workshop that evaluates the FCT candidate’s ability to maintain Fortinet’s quality standards in technical knowledge, skills and instructional abilities.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, and in an effort to protect the health and well-being of our candidates, Fortinet is now offering virtual/online FCT assessments. Virtual/online FCT assessments are half-day assessments conducted by FCT proctors and the FCT team.

Who can apply?

The FCT assessment candidate should be a Fortinet employee or a candidate sponsored by an ATC who has submitted proof of reference, along with an online application form.

  • Five years of relevant experience in network security and cybersecurity
  • Certification in the required NSE training courses
  • Five years of experience in training delivery in IT security
