NAC-ADM Training for Your Team — FortiNAC-F Administrator
Every network has more devices than its inventory admits — the audit usually finds twice as many, and nobody can say what half of them are. FortiNAC-F exists to close that gap: discover and profile everything on the wire and the air, decide what each device may reach, and enforce it automatically. The FortiNAC-F Administrator course trains engineers to run that system — profiling, policy, enforcement across multi-vendor switching and wireless, and automated response when an endpoint starts misbehaving.
The course reflects the current FortiNAC-F generation of the product within Fortinet’s security fabric, and it is as much about rollout discipline as configuration: visibility before alerting, alerting before enforcement — the sequence that keeps a NAC project from becoming a self-inflicted outage.
We arrange delivery through authorized partners with instructors who have shipped real NAC deployments — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group weighted toward your device landscape.
Who this course is for
- Network engineers tasked with a NAC or network-segmentation project
- Security teams that need visibility and control over unmanaged and IoT devices
- Fortinet-stack administrators extending the security fabric to the access layer
- IT teams in healthcare, manufacturing and campus environments with device zoos to tame
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.
- Seeing what is actually on the network: device discovery and profiling before enforcement
- Classifying the unmanageable — printers, cameras, medical and industrial devices that cannot run agents
- Network access policy: who and what connects, to which segment, under which conditions
- Enforcement mechanics across switches, wireless and the Fortinet security fabric
- Automated response — quarantining a misbehaving endpoint before a human reads the alert
- Guest and BYOD onboarding that does not become the helpdesk's main workload
- Rolling out NAC in stages without locking the business out of its own network

NAC-ADM 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 firewall administration foundation. FortiGate controls traffic between segments; FortiNAC-F decides which device lands in which segment in the first place. Most NAC projects assume the firewall side is already handled — take FortiGate training first if it is not.
Fortinet Secure Wireless LAN Administrator
The wireless infrastructure course. Wireless is where unmanaged devices arrive first, so the two topics meet constantly; choose the wireless course when the gap is running the WLAN itself, and NAC training when the gap is controlling what connects to it.
A custom intensive
NAC rollouts fail on process more than product. A custom workshop can combine FortiNAC-F administration with a phased enforcement plan for your actual estate — discovery first, alerts second, enforcement last — rehearsed with your switch and Wi-Fi vendors in mind.
Need only part of NAC-ADM?
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.

What is FortiNAC-F and how does it relate to FortiNAC?
FortiNAC-F is the current generation of Fortinet's network access control product, running on the FortiOS-based platform. It carries the same mission as the earlier FortiNAC line — device visibility, classification and policy enforcement — and this course covers the current FortiNAC-F releases.
Does NAC require replacing our switches?
Usually not. FortiNAC-F enforces through standard mechanisms on existing multi-vendor infrastructure — including non-Fortinet switches and wireless — plus deeper integration with the Fortinet security fabric. The course covers what each enforcement method needs from your gear.
Our biggest problem is IoT and unmanaged devices — is this the right course?
That is the core use case. Profiling devices that cannot run agents — cameras, printers, controllers, medical equipment — and assigning them least-privilege network access is where NAC earns its keep, and where the course spends much of its lab time.
How disruptive is a NAC deployment?
Done abruptly, very; done in stages, barely. The recommended pattern — visibility mode first, then alerting, then enforcement scoped by segment — is discussed in the course, and it is the difference between a controlled rollout and a Monday morning outage.
