Check Point Certification Guide: Overview and Career Paths
One of Check Point's best-known products at the consumer level is ZoneAlarm, a personal firewall. You can find its enterprise products in every Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 company in the world. Check Point also offers information security services such as design planning and security implementation, along with training and a security certification program.
The Check Point certification program includes four professional certifications:
CCSA: Check Point Certified Security Administrator

Check Point also offers an entry-level certification called the Check Point Certified Security Principles Associate (CCSPA) for IT professionals just beginning their security careers.
Most Check Point exams are currently offered on R77.30, although R80 has already been introduced with the CCSA certification. Check Point indicates that most R77.30 exams will retire at the end of the third quarter of 2017. Interested candidates should check the Training & Certification page frequently for the latest updates on the move to R80.
