Radenta Academy, Fortinet Join Forces

• Fortinet Philippines Country Manager Veronica “Bambi” Escalante, Radenta Technologies, Inc. President Randall Lozano, and MEC Networks Corporation Senior Vice President for Sales Sheryl Go.

Radenta Academy, a pioneering technological education venture of Radenta Technologies, now offers the full range of courses from Fortinet, a global cybersecurity company known to carry highly specialized and niche specific security protocols.

Fortinet is best known for its flagship FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Secure SD-WAN, and integrated Security Fabric. The courses cover network protection, threat intelligence, SOC operations, and cloud security.

The partnership will have Radenta Academy offer Fortinet’s official learning pathways, including Fortinet Certified Fundamentals (FCF), Fortinet Certified Associate (FCA), and Fortinet Certified Professional (FCP) focusing on Network Security and FortiGate Administration.

The courses are open to both individual learners (IT graduates, career shifters, sysadmins) and corporate clients (enterprise IT/SOC teams). Cohorts run regularly throughout the year. Fundamental tracks require 15–20 hours, while Professional tracks take 3–5 full bootcamp days or 3 to 6 weeks or about 1 and a half months part-time.

There are two delivery formats. Hybrid is self-paced labs paired with live virtual instructor sessions while dedicated on-premises bootcamps are offered for corporate teams.

Graduates earn official Fortinet Industry Certifications that include FCF, FCA, FCP which are fully recognized worldwide in the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. This drastically enhances employability, opening doors to high-paying roles as Firewall Engineers, SOC Analysts, and Security Consultants globally.

Fortinet has its own learning facilities. FortiAcademy, specifically targets academic institutions and early-talent career readiness. The Fortinet Training Institute is the master corporate umbrella for all professional certifications and self-study paths. Both are the same but with different target markets.

In the Philippines, Radenta Academy serves as the local delivery partner, providing certified local instructors, hands-on mentorship, and regional operational support.

“We joined forces to directly combat the severe cyber skills gap in the country by combining Fortinet’s industry-leading technology with Radenta’s local educational reach,” according to Dianne Angeline Mabuna, Administrator for Radenta Academy.

Fortinet is a top global choice for enterprise defense, distinguished by its custom ASIC hardware acceleration, delivering industry-leading speed and unified Security Fabric architecture.

Radenta, on the other hand, stands out by integrating Fortinet’s global curriculum with local frameworks, such as TESDA Enterprise-Based Education and Training (EBET) alignment, making world-class certification accessible to the local workforce.

“A massive digital transformation is happening across Philippine banking, healthcare, government, and telecommunications that has outpaced cybersecurity hiring,” adds Mabuna. This creates a huge local demand for certified Fortinet engineers.
