[AngelettaA]

is there a manual for this course / exam?

If so, which one?
is it possible to buy only the manual?

thanks 

[Beja]

I ask to my wholesaler for it. They told me CCTE manual is only available for course purchases.

[G_W_Albrecht]

This is correct - it is part of the CCTE Courseware that includes Trainer and Student material.

[Timothy_Hall]

That doesn't seem to be the case.  I logged into a User Center account with no special permissions (i.e. not a reseller or Check Point partner) and I was able to add the CCTE ebook to my cart at catalog.checkpoint.com.  The purchase will still need to go through a reseller via the quote mechanism, but any Check Point reseller should be able to order it:

Afaik this will only be delivered to CP Training Partners - i fear you will get no valid quote for it.

Hi, I know this is a specialist exam, is there any prerequisite certification before taking this exam  such as CCSE ? Can I take this on my way to CCSM ?

[Chris_Atkinson]

Prerequisites: "Advanced knowledge of Check Point Security products"

At a high level the recommended order would be CCSE > CCTE > CCSM

Not withstanding considerable hands-on experience and another specialization exam is required to achieve CCSM so you may opt to do the CCTA prior.

Thank you for the insight Chris. I just found the attached Check Point Learning & Training FAQ, it seems after CCSE, CCTE would be appropriate to take since CCVS is still quite New. Not sure about Maestro.

[Cristian_Rosa]

Of the 75 questions, how many do you have to get right? Why is this test not available in other languages, only in English?



Congrats,

Cristian Rosa

[Danny]

The passing score is 70%. Only the core exams (CCSA, CCSE) have been translated into other languages yet.

[Cristian_Rosa]

Thanks Danny,

In the CCSE there were 100 questions. From what I read the CCTE is 75 questions, is that right?

[Danny]

That's correct.

Hi Danny,

Does CCTE need to pass CCTA exam first? Could CCSE can join this exam directly？

[Chris_Atkinson]

Prerequisites are CCSA, CCSE.

Or depending on comfort level / experience:

CCTA is recommended after CCSA

CCTE is recommended after CCSE.
