Designed for CCSA holders, this three-day course goes deeper into running a Quantum Security R82 environment: management high availability, advanced policy handling, site-to-site VPN, monitoring with SmartEvent and Compliance, upgrades, migrations and ElasticXL clusters. It prepares you for exam 156-315.82, which leads to the CCSE R82 certification. It is aimed at professionals who already manage gateways day to day and now need to guarantee service continuity, connect remote sites and evolve the infrastructure without outages.
You earn CCSE R82 by passing exam 156-315.82, delivered by Pearson VUE and booked through the Check Point certification portal. You must already hold CCSA. The R81.20 exams retired on 30 June 2026. CCSE is valid for two years and opens the path to CCSM: add two specialist accreditations to earn Check Point Certified Security Master, then two more for CCSM Elite. Check Point states the question count, time limit and pass mark at registration.
No. Check Point lists CCSA as a prerequisite for both the CCSE course and the certification. If you are starting from scratch, our CCSA + CCSE bundle runs both courses and schedules the CCSA exam between the two weeks.
156-315.82. The R81.20 exam retired on 30 June 2026. You book it through the Check Point certification portal and take it with Pearson VUE.
Yes. CCSM is not a course but a title earned by adding two specialist accreditations, such as CCTA or CCMS, to a valid CCSE. Two more accreditations lead to CCSM Elite.
ElasticXL is a Check Point gateway clustering architecture. The final module of the course covers its concepts, how to deploy it and what to check once it is running. It is a good topic to rehearse in the lab before the exam.
Live online, in person in Casablanca or on-site at your organization, in French or English, with a lab environment for each participant. Private on-site sessions can be tailored to your architecture and migration timeline.
