Partnership Requests

The Academic Partner Program works with academic institutions to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive cybersecurity workforce. It bridges the gap between learning and careers through access to industry-recognized Fortinet NSE training and certification courses. The Academic Partner Program collaborates with higher education institutions and schools around the world to help learners become part of an elite group of skilled cybersecurity professionals.

We are looking for Universities and Colleges across the EU to collaborates to integrate the Training Institute certification directly into their existing courses.

Graduates of the program leave with in-demand cybersecurity skills to help protect networks from global cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC). The program can be taught for pure skill and career development or with the goal of each graduate becoming Fortinet NSE-Certified. Free exam vouchers are provided to students.
