Hello Magnus, I just passed my CCSA with 86/100 one marathon weekend with your videos and one day reading the Checkpoint guide. I have 1 year working with Checkpoint, so I think experience is a must. Thank you very much

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Awesome! Really good work. :) Yes for passing a CCSA I do believe you need 6months real experience or Atleast lab with the stuff.

[@Aaron-ig8ie]

​@@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec Yes, your labs are key, maybe one vpn video and other one for identity awarness and everything is covered. Thanks again

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

I will try to fix that aswell, but has been busy so far. Btw you are the first person saying that they have achived a CCSA with some assistance by my videos, its really fun to hear :)

[@ohnospiders]

Thanks for this. I'm trying to finally get my CCSA and this will assist me diving in

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

your welcome and good luck with the CCSA! :)

Thank you Master Magnus. This course really help me to familiarize checkpoint arch. and planning to re-watch this again for better retention . Hoping you can do videos for vpn(remote and site to site), ad integration , vsx, sdwan and HA load sharing. Thank you again Master!!!!!!!!

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Hehe, i will try to release some cool content that hopefully you guys will like. Takes some time to figure out how to actually build it in a lab as am not able to show so much from real production boxes and the really cool stuff you do need additional stuff like AD / ISE etc that is not really a check point product. but something check point integrate to.

[@dzonibrt]

Is there any study guide material for the CCSA exam ?Best Regards and by the way great explanation!

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Honestly, it’s hard to find good material that’s one of the reason why I created this channel. But I would check out the check mate community, there are some labs / videos for beginners there. Maybe not certificate focus but you will learn a lot chek point :)

@@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec Thank you Magnus.

[@matrixramiro]

Good morning friends, could you share the Check Point Certified Security Administrator R81 study guide? I can't find it on the internet. Or do you necessarily have to pay?

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Hi, I think you need to buy the study guides, and last I checked it was around 700 euro

[@RASABGD]

Great video Magnus, as always. Do you know when is deadline for CCSA R80, before changes. Greetings from Serbia.

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Thanks :) As far as iknow there is no changes to CCSA its only the higher exams (CCSM) that are changing. so there is no official deadline for it :)

[@rahilsayyed3690]

Do they monitor...??

[@WalterGomes30]

Hi, Magnus! Is CCSA still worth it?

[@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec]

Certificates are a good way to get in to interviews, they are also needed for partners to keep specific partner levels. Certificate alone will not give you a job, that depends on your personality and skills :) It shows that you are willing to put down some effort and free time when taking certificates. So my answer depends on what you are after, but personally I think it’s worth it if it’s something you want to work with and go towards CCSE :)

[@WalterGomes30]

@@MagnusHolmberg-NetSec Thanks for the reply. I’ve been working with checkpoint for four months now and iam interested in learning more, to become better at it.
