You should be able to do the Netscreen by just getting a test kit and
a Netscreen from ebay. They are extremely easy to use and configure
and not much changes between the different models. 

I had the fortune of getting trained at work by both Netscreen and
Check Point trainers. I found the Check Point trainers to be more of
a sales pitch as where the Netscreen reminded me of a high tech
Linksys router. 

You can probably pass the CCSA real easy if you go to their website
download a evaluation copy and do a search on a P2P or online for the
test study guide.

I may make these tests sound easy but it all depends on your comfort
level and dedication in learning these products. I deal with them on
a day to to day basis.

If you are looking for a class to take, look into Global Knowledge I
knowthey run Check Point boot camps for around 2000 - 3000 dollars.

Subject: Check Point and/or NetScreen Training???

Hello All:

I am looking for GOOD Checkpoint and (*or*) NetScreen training
courses, boot
camp or what have you. 
I just made the transition to Internet/Extranet Security from 7 years
in
Network Planning & Engineering. I am not looking for "5 days of this
is a
TCP connection and this is a state table." Internet searches are
coming up
w/very few to none in the North East area. 

If anyone has a good experience w/something in the NY Metro Area,
could you
please recommend, it would be much appreciated.


Thank you,
