Why is Fortinet changing the NSE program and creating new certifications?

Fortinet is making important changes to the NSE certification program to ensure its scalability, flexibility, and modularity. 

The new certification structure offers an easier and more streamlined ramp-up for people who want to start a career in cybersecurity. It includes five (5) proficiency levels with multiple certifications per level, and allows people to more easily identify the correct courses and exams according to their job needs and career paths.

The program also includes a new digital badging system, to provide better identification of the specific skills and knowledge acquired in a complex industry that supports various roles across multiple cybersecurity solutions and industry verticals.
