Network Engineering Live Training & Industry Project Experience
This 3-month Network Engineering Training & Industry Project Experience Program combines 2 months (8 weeks) of structured, hands-on training with 1 month of Industry Project Experience. The training phase progresses through three stages: Weeks 1–3 cover networking fundamentals, the OSI/TCP-IP models, Ethernet, ARP, IPv4/IPv6 addressing, subnetting, VLANs, trunking, and Spanning Tree Protocol. Weeks 4–6 build on this with static and dynamic routing (OSPF), inter-VLAN routing, HSRP, DHCP, DNS, NAT/PAT, and secure wireless network design. Weeks 7–8 focus on network security, ACLs, firewalls, VPNs, monitoring, and a full troubleshooting methodology, capped by an enterprise network design project. In the final month, participants work on real or simulated network tasks involving configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting under supervision. They receive guidance, feedback, and opportunities to improve their work while building practical, portfolio-ready project experience. By the end of the program, participants are able to independently design, implement, secure, and troubleshoot a complete enterprise-level network from requirements through documentation.
