FCSS-SASE Training for Your Team — FCSS — FortiSASE 25.x Administrator
The perimeter did not disappear — it multiplied. Every home office, coffee shop and branch without a firewall is now an enforcement problem, and bolting a bigger VPN concentrator onto the data center stopped being the answer some time ago. FCSS — FortiSASE 25.x Administrator is Fortinet’s expert-level course for the alternative: security delivered from the cloud, following the user rather than the building.
The course teaches FortiSASE as it is actually deployed — onboarding users and sites, steering traffic between cloud and on-premises enforcement, publishing private applications over ZTNA, and integrating the service with an existing FortiGate estate so policy stays coherent. It prepares for the FCSS — FortiSASE Administrator exam in Fortinet’s solution-specialist tier, the level above FCP.
As a training operator, we organize delivery through authorized partners with instructors who run SASE migrations in production — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group weighted toward your rollout plan.
Who this course is for
- Network security engineers extending a Fortinet estate to remote and hybrid workers
- SASE project owners consolidating VPN, secure web gateway and CASB tooling
- MSSP engineers operating FortiSASE tenants for customers
- FCP-certified administrators progressing to the FCSS solution-specialist tier
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.

- Zero Trust Network Access — retiring the VPN concentrator one application at a time
- Making FortiSASE and the existing FortiGate estate behave as one security fabric

FCSS-SASE 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 professional-level FortiOS administration course and the assumed baseline. Choose FCP first for engineers new to the Fortinet stack; FCSS-SASE builds the cloud-delivered security layer on top of that device-level foundation.
FCSS — Enterprise Firewall 7.6 Administrator
The other expert-level Fortinet track: multi-FortiGate architectures on infrastructure you own. Choose Enterprise Firewall when the estate is data-center and branch hardware; FortiSASE when the users and enforcement points are moving to the cloud.
A custom intensive
Mid-way through a VPN-to-ZTNA migration? A custom 2–3 day program can focus entirely on your rollout — coexistence with the current remote-access stack, application onboarding order, and the pilot-group plan.
Need only part of FCSS-SASE?
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.

How does FCSS differ from FCP certification?
FCP (Fortinet Certified Professional) validates administration of individual products; FCSS (Fortinet Certified Solution Specialist) validates solution-level expertise one tier above it. FortiSASE Administrator is an FCSS-level course — it assumes FCP FortiGate knowledge and works at architecture and integration depth.
FortiSASE is cloud-delivered — why do we still need FortiGate experience?
Because real deployments are hybrid: FortiSASE integrates with FortiGate edges, shares the FortiOS policy logic, and steers traffic between cloud and on-premises enforcement. Engineers who understand FortiOS pick up the SASE layer far faster and design better traffic-steering decisions.
Does the course cover Zero Trust Network Access?
Yes — ZTNA is a core part of the FortiSASE curriculum: publishing private applications, posture checks and the gradual replacement of legacy remote-access VPN. Many teams book this course specifically to plan that migration with a qualified instructor.
Which version does the training cover?
The current FortiSASE 25.x generation, matching the latest FCSS exam blueprint. FortiSASE is a continuously updated cloud service, so instructors teach on the live current release and flag recent changes relevant to your tenant during delivery.
