Overview

“MikroTik RouterOS” is designed for roles such as Network administrators and network engineers and System administrators with network responsibility. In 6 hours you work your way through WinBox and CLI, Bridge, VLAN and routing and Firewall and NAT in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

A stable, secure network is the prerequisite for almost every IT service, and with cloud connectivity, remote work, Wi-Fi and segmentation, complexity keeps growing. Our MikroTik RouterOS courses are aimed at network administrators, system owners and security teams who need to design, configure and secure networks and get them running again quickly after incidents. We combine protocol understanding with practical configuration: you work in a provided lab with real or virtual devices and analyze traffic yourself. The course runs online or on site, lasts one day and is offered at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
