Mikrotik RouterOS MTCTCE Training July 2013 - DFW

Course Dates: Monday, July 8 - Wednesday July 10, 2013  (3 days)

This training course will cover Mikrotik RouterOS MTCTCE (Traffic Control Engineer).  Included in this training is EXTENSIVE hands-on training and an opportunity to take the Mikrotik Certification tests when we have finished.

Why you should attend this training?
Butch has been in the business of teaching end users about the MikroTik product since 2004. Butch Evans is the first trainer ever certified by MikroTik to present training on their product and was the first to develop a full training course on this product. Butch has been in the ISP business since 1994 and his extensive experience comes through in the training presentation. The core of our curriculum has been in development since 2004, so the presentation material you will see has been tested and proven to work well for both the student and teacher.

We offer a private training as well, either online or in person. If you'd like more information on that option, please call or visit the private training information page HERE.

About the course.
This course is a detailed look at traffic control techniques in Mikrotik RouterOS V4.x.  This course will use some materials developed by Mikrotik, however the majority of these materials are developed by Butch Evans.  The course content covers traffic management technologies in MUCH greater detail than the certification test requires (hence the use of our own curriculum).  This is a LIVE, instructor led FULLY INTERACTIVE training course.

Who Should Attend:
This training is targeted toward network administrators, integrators, managers and others who wish to gain a better understanding of wireless technologies in general and wireless configuration options with Mikrotik RouterOS specifically.

Prerequisites:
ALL attendees who wish to take the certification test MUST already have passed the MTCNA certification or be willing to take this test at the event (extra fees apply).  If you would just like to attend and learn the material without taking the certification test, then the MTCNA is not required, but you will not be able to take the certification test at the end.  If you feel that you can pass the MTCNA test, then it will be made available for an added fee.  It is also necessary that attendees be familiar with connecting to an installed Mikrotik RouterOS router using Winbox.  

Course Length:
3 days (Includes LOTS of hands on training)

What you will need

You will need to have a laptop with an ethernet port avialable.  It is recommended that you also have a wireless card, but that is not necessary.  You may use Windows, Linux or Mac, but you should be familiar enough with your own operating system to be able to start the winbox application and set it up for static and dynamic IP addresses.  Everything else is provided.
