Training

Our Approach

If we teach you, you may forget,
If we show you, you may remember,
We'll involve you so you'll understand.

 

Our unique training experience provides immediate value as we train you with real life scenarios.

One size does not fit all. Every training session is slightly different as technology changes constantly and all trainees are unique in their abilities.

Get customized training catered to your needs with skills useful in real life situations, problems and troubleshooting.

This is unlike any training institute or online courses that target everyone and where the material doesn't change for years! There are many good options for "industry standard" training. But those will train you for certification purposes.

We do not believe in death by powerpoint. All our trainings are full of interaction, Q&A, demonstrations and examples, the way real learning is achieved.

They are catered to YOUR needs. If you don't get immediate value out of it, both of us fail.

This course in no way is a replacement to formal industry certifications like CCNA, Network+, CCIE, etc. This should be taken as a baseline. It will target 80% of what you will be doing in real life, unlike most vendor certifications which teach you a lot of theory, of which you end up utilizing 20% of in an actual network.
