The starting point for every MikroTik career. Learn RouterOS from first login to a working, secured network: addressing, DHCP, bridging, routing, wireless, firewall, queues and tunnels.
Go beyond default routes. Policy routing, recursive next-hops, tunnels, VLANs and OSPF design for networks that need resilient, predictable paths.
Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless with RouterOS: RF tools, link troubleshooting, 802.11n tuning, security, WDS, mesh and MikroTik’s own Nstreme and Nv2 protocols.
Understand exactly how a packet moves through RouterOS, then control it: firewall filter, NAT and mangle, HTB queue trees, queue types, DNS, DHCP and web proxy.
Run subscriber and user access the way ISPs do: PPP profiles and secrets, PPTP, L2TP, PPPoE, layer-2 bridging over tunnels, IPsec, HotSpot and RADIUS with User Manager.
Plan and run IPv6 with confidence: addressing and subnetting, SLAAC and DHCPv6, the IPv6 header, neighbour discovery security, transition mechanisms and prefix delegation in RouterOS.
Defend RouterOS networks against real attacks: stateful and RAW firewalling, layer-specific attacks, cryptography and certificates, router hardening and secure tunnels.
Build reliable layer-2 networks on RouterOS and CRS switches: MTU, VLAN filtering and QinQ, spanning tree, bonding, port isolation, L2 QoS and security, PoE and SwOS.
Design and run office and campus Wi-Fi: RF behaviour, standards, regulatory settings, security, troubleshooting, site surveys and centralised management with CAPsMAN, plus 60 GHz bridging.
The service-provider course: BGP design and path selection, MPLS with LDP, VPLS and L3VPN, and MPLS traffic engineering with RSVP.
Try a broader keyword, or ask the trainer which course fits your goal.
MTCNA is required for every engineer-level course; MTCRE is also required for MTCINE. MikroTik states the MTCNA does not need to be currently valid to attend engineer training.
Per MikroTik’s published rules: 25 questions in 60 minutes, with 60% needed to pass. A score of 50–59% may allow an immediate second attempt at the trainer’s discretion.
Certificates are valid for three years and can be checked on mikrotik.com/certificates. Source: mikrotik.com/training/about (checked 25 Oct 2026).
