Checkpoint certs

dissolved

I'm thinking about going after CCSA eventually. What is the difficulty? Where can I get (or maybe the question is what can I get) that will give me hands on experience with Checkpoint?

Most importantly-I see that the certs are only valid for 18mos, or until a new version of their software comes out. Is it accepted in the industry to put down CCSA on your resume even if your CCSA technically "expired?" I cant imagine recertifying every year and a half. Especially if this cert is difficult

Just trying to gauge if this cert is worth it.

thanks

I've seen people include the version of the product. I think that's acceptable on a resume, not sure how CheckPoint feels about that. But if you're actually working with the product passing the exam and recertifying isn't that hard. They are a bit like Microsoft exams, it covers mostly how to configure their product (which tool, which menu/option).
