Check Point CCSA + CCSE R82 Certification Preparation Bundle
This bundle chains the two core Check Point R82 courses: three days of CCSA to master day-to-day administration of a Quantum Security environment, then three days of CCSE for high availability, VPNs, advanced monitoring, upgrades and ElasticXL. It is the most direct route from Check Point newcomer to certified expert. You also gain continuity: the same lab environment follows you from your first firewall rule to an ElasticXL cluster.

The exam
The bundle prepares you for two separate Pearson VUE exams: 156-215.82 for CCSA R82, then 156-315.82 for CCSE R82. Check Point requires CCSA before it awards CCSE, so we suggest taking the first exam between the two courses. Both certifications are valid for two years. The R81.20 exams retired on 30 June 2026. With two additional specialist accreditations, CCSE then leads to the CCSM title. Check Point gives the question count, time limit and pass mark at registration.
Preparation tips
Take the CCSA exam before starting the CCSE week
Keep your CCSA lab notes: they are the base for the CCSE exercises
Book both exams within a few weeks of the course
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is the bundle 5 or 6 days?
Six days: two three-day courses, matching the length Check Point publishes for CCSA and for CCSE. The sessions can run back to back or be spaced out.
Must I pass CCSA before attending CCSE?
Check Point lists CCSA as a prerequisite for CCSE. In the bundle, the CCSA week covers it, and we recommend passing exam 156-215.82 before starting the CCSE week.
Which exams are covered?
156-215.82 (CCSA R82) and 156-315.82 (CCSE R82), both delivered by Pearson VUE.
Why choose the bundle over two separate bookings?
You keep the same instructor and lab environment throughout, and the exam schedule is planned from the start.
Which delivery formats do you offer?
Live online, in person in Casablanca or on-site at your organization, in French or English. For private sessions, the six days can be spread over several weeks. Private on-site sessions can be tailored to your architecture and migration timeline.
