If you are an IT manager, network administrator, or IT and support technician: this course is for you!

However, you need to have already passed the CSNA exam.

At the heart of CSNE training

The structure of the course includes both theory and practical exercises. Two methods are offered: in-person courses, either at Stormshield's offices or the client's offices, and online courses, including interaction with an instructor via videoconferencing and over the Airbus CyberRange platform for practical exercises.

You’ll receive course support consisting of a theoretical component, practical work (Labs) and marking. To help you put the course theory into practice, you’ll have a full technical environment at your disposal. And you’ll be able to keep your expertise current for three years by downloading updates to the course material in PDF format on our Stormshield Institute platform.

CSNE practical information

The CSNE training lasts 21 hours. For in-person sessions, the course is spread out over three consecutive 7-hour days. For online sessions, after an initial 7-hour day, the remainder of the course is spread out over four consecutive half-days lasting 3.5 hours each.

Our trainers also conduct intra-company training (on-site or distance learning) for groups of 5 or more people. There is a maximum of 8 trainees per session.

CSNE: certification at your fingertips

Provided you pass the final exam at the end of the course, obviously! You sit the exam online (2 hrs, 90 questions). The passmark is 70%. The exam is automatically available on the day following the end of training, for a period of three weeks, at the Institute’s website.

In the event of failure, or inability to take the exam within this time slot, a second and final exam opportunity automatically opens immediately afterwards for a duration of one additional week.

CSNE e-learning

For trainees who wish to learn at their own pace, the CSNE courseware is offered in e-learning mode. For several weeks, trainees have access to exclusive content on our partner Seela's Cyber e-learning platform. All labs (practical exercises) can be conducted in the Airbus CyberRange cloud environment.

Re-certification

In common with all good software, you’ll need to update your network/security expertise before the third anniversary of your certification. You can do this using our online re-certification kits, which allow you to renew your certification for an additional three years.

As the e-learning, these re-certification kits are not considered training sessions.
