Training format
Classes are trainer-led with a practical lab at the end of every module. MikroTik’s training rules describe courses as classroom-based; the theory part may be delivered online when the trainer and participants agree, while the practical part and certification exam stay in the classroom. Session-specific details — dates, venue, language and fee — are listed on each class page.
The certification exam follows MikroTik’s published rules (25 questions, 60 minutes, 60% to pass). Certificates are valid for three years.
