Network Engineer Tier 1 is our flagship foundation programme for aspiring network engineers. It combines Cisco enterprise networking with MikroTik routing technologies to build the practical skills used every day in enterprise and Internet Service Provider environments — not just exam theory.

Exam-style checkpoints throughout the programme, not just at the end.
Structured, step-by-step labs that build toward independent troubleshooting.
Dedicated review before every certification exam.
