you can purchase official CP NGX courseware books for self study, send email to
atc@ts.checkpoint.com for a list atc courseware distributors. If you haven't attended an authorized training or aren't certified for NG with App Int, it is probably a good idea to go to the training. You also get a NGX study guide when you go through the training class. New NGX I, II, and accelerated versions of the courseware is coming at the end of the year & exams. If you have the 1.0 version of the cw, you should still be able to attempt the 1.0 version of the exam for a few months after the new release. If you have questions about your exam attempt you can always email
certification@ts.checkpoint.com. The new NGX III should be rolling out at the end of January. The exams might be difficult, but take a look at the Cert Mag 2005 Average Annual Salary Report where Check Point certified professionals earn on average $92,650.
