CSSA: Have it?

chappys4life

I just started working for a managed IT services provider that uses sonicwall almost exclusively as they support the smb (10-400 users) market. I was looking at this cert to make me look good at work but see a lack of info.

Can anyone comment on this? Maybe where the training material and how hard it is?

I personally don't have it but this will be good to have. We are a SonicWall shop and our other 2 techs have the certification. It will help with the MSP partner level with SonicWall (Dell) and also get certain support priority (supposedly).

Anyone know where the training material is? I can only find a class that is in person and is $2000. I was looking for something self study.

It looks like self-study isn't an option. Even if you borrow the official study materials, you will still need to purchase the course to take the exam. From the official CSSA page:

"CSSA certification exams are bundled in with all Dell SonicWALL technical instructor-led classes delivered by a Certified SonicWALL Trainer (CST). Access to the exam will be supplied by your instructor at the end of the course, through the use of an Activation Key."
