Frequently asked questions
The outline looks older than the others. Is MTCWE still offered?
Yes — MTCWE is still listed on MikroTik’s training page and schedule. The official outline document we reviewed was last edited in 2011, so confirm with the trainer how current RouterOS wireless packages are covered in class.
Is this the official MikroTik website?
No. This is an independent training site run by a MikroTik Certified Trainer. Course topics are summarised from MikroTik’s official outline, linked above.
