Palo Alto Networks firewalls · Live online
Palo Alto training online.
For learners in the UK.
Full course fee: £100 1 Month Free demo class available
Understand why a firewall allows or blocks a session. Learn to read the traffic logs, work through policy and NAT decisions, and troubleshoot the path between a user and an application.
The focus is practical firewall administration and troubleshooting, including PAN-OS policy, VPNs and central management. Confirm the current certification pathway separately from the course’s historical PCNSE terminology.
Live online from India. Teaching language: English. No UK classroom is advertised.
Your starting point
Who is this course for?
Network engineers, system administrators and security professionals who already understand IP networking and want to work with Palo Alto Networks firewalls.
You should understand subnets, routing, NAT and the purpose of a firewall. If these are unfamiliar, discuss a networking foundation first; learning the interface is easier when you can explain the packet path.
Tell the team what you already do at work and what you want to learn. The right starting point depends on your experience, not just the certification you have in mind.
Classes from the UK
Plan for UK class times, including the clock change.
The UK uses GMT in winter and British Summer Time in summer. India is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of BST. Confirm the dated timetable for the whole course, particularly if it crosses a clock change.
Confirm your batch timetable
- Tell admissions whether you need weekday evenings or particular weekend hours.
- Ask for meeting times labelled GMT or BST with the relevant dates.
- Check the overlap between UK study hours and instructor support in India.
The listed duration is 1 month. Ask how that breaks down into teaching hours and independent practice.
Request the local scheduleTry a free demo class
A free demo class is available. Request its date and UK local time so you can judge the pace and ask about the lab setup.
Bring a question from your own work or study. Ask who would teach your batch and how a student gets help when a lab does not work.

Full course fee: £100
Published duration: 1 month. The demo class is free.
The full training fee is £100. Confirm payment methods and the exact course inclusions before enrolling; the certification exam fee is separate.
Ask for the full list of inclusions, payment terms and any additional costs. The certification exam fee is separate from training.
What lab access does the fee cover?
Confirm the firewall platform, licences, access period and instructor support included in the fee. Do not assume access to a specific appliance model without checking.
Practical arrangements
Ask exactly how the firewall lab works.
Confirm whether your batch uses physical appliances, virtual firewalls or both, and which PAN-OS version is installed. Ask about licensing, remote connection requirements, access hours and whether you work in an individual or shared environment. Hardware shown elsewhere on the site does not establish access for your particular batch.
Follow the explanation
Understand what the feature is for and which problem you are trying to solve before configuring it.
Work through the task
Use the batch’s confirmed lab environment. Record the configuration, expected behaviour and the result you actually see.
Explain what changed
Review errors with the trainer. A successful test is more useful when you can explain why it worked.
Course topics
Follow a session from policy to troubleshooting.
This is a course overview. Request the detailed syllabus for your chosen batch and check the vendor’s current exam requirements separately.
Platform and packet flow
Firewall architecture, interfaces, zones, routing and initial configuration. Understand how a packet reaches a policy decision.
Security policy and NAT
Build rules with a clear source, destination and purpose. Work through rule order, address translation and how to verify that the intended rule matched.
Application and user visibility
App-ID, User-ID and Content-ID concepts. Connect application visibility and identity to the policy you are trying to enforce.
Threat prevention and logs
Security profiles, threat prevention and log interpretation. Separate a routing problem from a policy denial before changing controls.
VPNs and remote access
IPsec and GlobalProtect concepts, connectivity checks and troubleshooting. Confirm the exact remote-access lab exercises for your batch.
Management and troubleshooting
Panorama, high-availability concepts and a repeatable troubleshooting workflow. Ask for the software version and detailed practical syllabus.
Read the Palo Alto Networks technical documentation alongside your course notes.
An example to reason through
A security rule looks correct, but the application still fails. What is missing?
Trace the session through the firewall. Check which rule actually matches, inspect NAT and routing, and read the session and traffic logs. The application may not be following the path you assumed, or another control may be stopping it.
This is an illustrative firewall scenario. The assigned trainer confirms the actual batch exercises.
A sequence of checks
- Identify the client, server and expected traffic path.
- Check the matched security rule and the log entry.
- Inspect NAT, routing and any applicable security profile.
- Retest and explain why the change addressed the fault.
The teaching team
Know who will teach your batch.
Networkers Home was founded in 2007 by Vikas Swami, Dual CCIE #22239. The course is delivered online from India.
Request the assigned firewall trainer’s profile and ask how configuration reviews and troubleshooting questions are handled. Ask which lab tasks you will complete yourself, rather than watch in a demonstration.
Institute-wide track record
Networkers Home reports 45,000+ engineers placed and 800+ hiring partners across its operating history. These are institutional figures, not results for this course or evidence of a placement service in the UK.
Training and certification
Check the current exam pathway.
Course attendance does not award a Palo Alto Networks certification. Check the vendor’s current certification catalogue and exam requirements before booking. Historical references to PCNSE or PCNSA must not be taken as confirmation that those exams remain available.
Use the Palo Alto Networks certification information as the source for current requirements. No vendor endorsement or authorised training-partner status is claimed here.
This is a skills-training course, not a local hiring programme. No UK employment outcome, visa service or salary is promised.
Before enrolling
Questions from learners in the UK.
Can I attend from the UK?

What is the course fee?
The full training fee is £100. Confirm payment methods and the exact course inclusions before enrolling; the certification exam fee is separate. Confirm the lab and licensing inclusions.
How long does the training take?
The published international course duration is 1 month. Confirm the teaching days, live hours and independent practice expected for your chosen batch. A duration is not a confirmed start date or a guarantee of exam readiness.
When is the next batch or demo?
A free demo class is available. Ask admissions for the demo time and the next confirmed batch start date. A free demo class is available. Request its date and UK local time so you can judge the pace and ask about the lab setup. No automatic monthly start date is presented as a scheduled class.
Is this a separate intensive bootcamp?
This page describes the regular live online course. A separate intensive bootcamp is not advertised here. If you need a compressed timetable, ask the team what can actually be scheduled and how it changes the teaching hours, practice workload and fee.
