Teaching Philosophy

“MikroTik is like a fire: You can cook great food, but you can also burn your house. Please master it before use!”

— Nikita Tarikin

Core Principles

Real Production

Real routers, real configurations — no simulated labs. Students work directly on hardware.

Beyond Official Docs

Sharing real-world deployment experience, tips & tricks not found in official documentation.

AI-Native

AI integrated into the learning process — not replacing the trainer but enhancing comprehension.

Post-Payment

Payment after course completion — quality commitment through action, not words.

Teaching Style

  • 70% hands-on, 30% theory — the ideal ratio for network engineers.
  • Real routers in the lab — no simulators, no virtual.
  • 4-day format — deep enough to master, without wasting time.
  • Interactive — questions anytime, direct discussion.

Classroom Environment

  • Spacious room with AC and 120" projector
  • Redundant internet — stable connectivity throughout
  • Real MikroTik hardware — one router per student
  • Meals and refreshments included
