It was the best class I have ever had. There were many professional students with MikroTik experience. They were fantastic — they could all pass the exam with good scores. A great opportunity for networking.
— Farzad, MikroTik Certified Trainer, Aug 2023
My expectations have been exceeded. The course provided a wealth of knowledge I was previously unaware of — tricks and new insights that self-studying from official documentation could not give me.
— Duy, IT Engineer, Bien Hoa
Before the course, my understanding of MikroTik was around 70–80%. After, I understood why I could not grasp certain aspects — and now I have much deeper knowledge.
— Tín, Freelancer, 14 years MikroTik
