FCP-FMG Training for Your Team — FortiManager 7.6 Administrator (FCP)
A FortiGate estate grows one device at a time — and one day the team realizes that “the firewall config” is actually thirty configs, three naming conventions and nobody’s full picture. FortiManager exists to fix that, and the FCP FortiManager 7.6 Administrator course teaches teams to run it properly: administrative domains, policy packages, provisioning templates and a change workflow with revisions and rollback.
The course is short — two days — but it changes how a team operates: policy stops being per-box artistry and becomes a managed, reviewable process. For MSPs and multi-site enterprises, that is the difference between scaling the estate and scaling the headcount.
We organize delivery through authorized partners, typically packaged with FortiGate or FortiAnalyzer courses in one plan — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group.
Who this course is for
- Administrators managing more than a handful of FortiGate devices
- MSP/MSSP teams operating multi-tenant Fortinet estates
- Network teams centralizing config management after an estate grew organically
- Engineers completing their FCP Network Security certification
What your team will learn
Topic areas below are grouped in our own words. The full official agenda is available on request — it comes from the authorized partner as part of your quote.
- FortiManager deployment and administrative domains — structuring management before it structures you
- Device onboarding and provisioning at fleet scale
- Policy packages and objects: one source of truth for many firewalls
- Change workflow: revisions, approvals and safe rollback when a push goes wrong
- Templates and automation for repeatable branch deployments
- Keeping managed devices and central config from drifting apart

FCP-FMG vs alternatives: which to choose
Factual criteria only — level, duration, audience and certification. The right choice depends on your team's starting point and stack.
FCP FortiGate 7.6 Administrator
The device-level foundation — policies, VPNs and security profiles on the FortiGate itself. Take it first: FortiManager centralizes workflows this course assumes you understand.
FCP FortiAnalyzer 7.6 Administrator
The logging and reporting counterpart: FortiAnalyzer answers “what happened”, FortiManager answers “how is it configured”. Most estates need both; the two short courses pair naturally in one training plan.
A custom intensive
Migrating an unmanaged estate into FortiManager? A custom workshop can rehearse the exact onboarding and policy-normalization work on a copy of your configurations — the riskiest part of centralization.
Need only part of FCP-FMG?
If your team needs a subset of this program — or a mix of topics from several courses — we build a custom 2–4 day intensive on our own materials, shaped by your infrastructure. One custom program typically replaces 2–3 catalog courses.

At what fleet size does FortiManager training pay off?
Typically from 5–10 FortiGate devices, or earlier for MSPs with multi-tenant needs. The course pays for itself the first time a bad policy push has to be rolled back cleanly instead of reconstructed by hand.
Does this course count toward certification?
Yes — the FortiManager exam is an elective within the FCP Network Security certification, which requires the FortiGate core exam plus one elective. FortiManager or FortiAnalyzer are the common elective choices.
Can it be combined with FortiAnalyzer training?
Yes, and it is the most common package: both are short courses and together they cover central management and central visibility. We bundle them into one delivery plan, often at a better combined rate.
We already use FortiManager but only as a config backup — is the course still useful?
That usage pattern is exactly why teams attend: the course unlocks policy packages, templates and change workflow — the parts that turn FortiManager from a backup tool into an operations platform.
