Welcome to Check Point for Beginners!

Understanding technology is a challenge. 

Complex concepts, rapid changes, new paradigms, overwhelming details, tools to master, time pressure - all those things might be tough to cope with.

As a member of CheckMates, you deserve the best. That's why we have created a new Space on CheckMates - Check Point for Beginners. It is members' exclusive space where we will be posting learning materials: videos, articles, lab manuals,  even history overviews - to help you out and to make understanding and mastering Check Point easier, less stressful and more productive. 

To do so, go here: Check Point for Beginners 2.0 

Note: You have to be a member of CheckMates to get full access to the materials. Please register with your UserCenter account. Create one, if you do not have it yet.

Thanks so much for these, I really appreciate.. But I want to ask.. After going through all these, do you think I'm ready to attempt the admin exam? 

[_Val_]

I am afraid not, @VICTOR_OGHIFOBI 
You will need to work through the admin manuals and to gather enough hands-on experience. We are not trying to replace the working education framework Check Point has already. We are helping newcomers to jump-start their careers even before they have enough time and resources to invest into the official certification path.

Hi,

I am a checkpoint partner, i would like to attempt for CCSA R80.20. Can anyone help me with the study guide which is freely available to download for partners?

Thanks.

[Timothy_Hall]

There is no study guide for the CCSA R80 exam, but there is a practice exam available through Pearson/VUE for $50 USD.  This practice exam draws 40 questions from the actual exam pool:
