Do CNSE-Azure|AWS-R81 give credit for CCSM(E)

[Christoph]

Hello,

I just discovered these two "new" certifications.

Cloud Network Security Expert for Azure R81 and Cloud Network Security Expert for AWS R81.

The last information I have, you need two/four Infinity specializations in addition to the normal CCSE to gain CCSM/CCSM Elite.

So my question is, like stated in the subject, does the CNSE give any credit towards anything, like the CCSM(E).

Cheers

Interesting question. CNSE-Azure/AWS seem to be intended to be performed on top of the Infinity CCCS certification to be able to specialize for Azure and/or AWS. @Jason_Tugwell can you explain how CNSE counts towards CCSM/CCSM Elite? Maybe the Cert & Training FAQ could be updated on this?

@Christoph The CNSE exams are included in the list of Infinity Specialist exams. They can be used to extend a cert, or promote to CCSM or CCSM Elite.  Please note: the CCCS cert is a prerequisite to the CNSE.  See our update under New Exam Announcement! here: https://home.pearsonvue.com/checkpoint

Additionally, we are pleased to announce the release of two Cloud Network Security Expert exams.

• 156-565 – Check Point Certified Cloud Network Security Expert – AWS (New!)
• 156-566 – Check Point Certified Cloud Network Security Expert – Azure (New!)

The following prerequisite must have been passed to qualify for these exams:

• 156-560 – Check Point Certified Cloud Specialist (CCCS)

The CNSE certs have been added to the Infinity Specialist exams list in the Certification FAQ sk163417, and we will update the Certification FAQ pdf.

Thanks
