If you are evaluating Check Point training for your security team and want clear pricing before making a decision, this is the right page.
Layer 8 Training is an Authorized Check Point Training Center (ATC) Partner, and all four R82 certification courses are available for public enrollment or private group delivery. Below is everything you need to assess cost, choose a course, and move forward.
Layer 8 Training offers four authorized R82 courses, each priced based on duration and certification scope. Here is the current pricing:
One detail worth noting on the bootcamp is that purchasing CCSA-R82 and CCSE-R82 as separate enrollments totals $6,000. The five-day bootcamp covers both certifications in a single session at $5,000, saving $1,000 while eliminating the scheduling overhead of running two courses at different times. For teams that need both credentials, that is a straightforward value calculation.
Moreover, through June 30, 2026, Layer 8 Training is offering 26% off all courses with promo code LEARN2026 at checkout. The discount applies to new purchases made directly through Layer 8 Training and cannot be combined with other offers. Applied to the bootcamp, that brings the $5,000 price down to $3,700 — a significant reduction for teams certifying multiple engineers this year.
Enrolling through an Authorized Check Point Training Center means the curriculum is built and maintained to Check Point’s own delivery standards, not approximated from third-party materials. Every course at Layer 8 Training runs on the current R82 track, which reflects the latest Check Point Quantum Security architecture.
Each course is instructor-led and structured around hands-on lab work tied to real-world deployment and operational scenarios. The instructors teaching these courses are credentialed and carry over 100 combined years of field experience, and that context shows up in how the lecture points and labs are framed. Layer 8 Training also runs a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, in which classes proceed as scheduled regardless of enrollment size, providing teams with a dependable planning baseline when certification timelines are tied to project milestones or compliance requirements.
For organizations in regulated industries or environments where vendor-verified credentials matter during audits or contract reviews, authorized delivery carries weight that generic or self-paced alternatives cannot replicate.
All four courses in Layer 8 Training are available as public, open-enrollment sessions with a rotating schedule. If you have a single engineer to certify or a small group that can join an existing class, public enrollment is the most efficient path.
For teams of six or more, private group training is worth considering. Layer 8 Training delivers private sessions either on-site at your location or remotely via Zoom or a virtual platform of your choice. Private delivery lets you align the training schedule to your team’s availability, which is often the deciding factor for enterprise security teams operating across time zones or managing ongoing project commitments. Pricing for private group sessions is available upon request and is scoped based on headcount and delivery format.
Choosing the right course is largely a matter of where your team’s skill gap lies in the Check Point workflow.
This course is built for engineers standing up a new Check Point Quantum Security environment. It covers the foundational deployment tasks needed before policy management begins and is the appropriate starting point for teams implementing Check Point for the first time.
This course picks up at the operational layer. It covers security policy management, Identity Awareness, HTTPS Inspection, Application Control, VPN configuration, and day-to-day firewall administration. This is the core certification for security administrators managing an active Check Point environment.
This course is designed for senior engineers who already hold CCSA certification or have equivalent hands-on experience. The course focuses on high-availability architecture, ClusterXL and ElasticXL, advanced VPN configuration, SecureXL and CoreXL performance tuning, and API-based management — skills that matter most in production environments where uptime and precision are non-negotiable.
This course covers both certifications in one continuous session. It is the most efficient path for engineers who need both administrator and expert-level credentials and want to avoid scheduling two separate training weeks.
If your team is evaluating multiple paths or you are not sure which course fits a specific role, Layer 8 Training can help you scope the right options before you commit.
