Announcing MikroTik First 30 Days — A Complete Training Course for IT Professionals
We are excited to announce the launch of MikroTik First 30 Days — a comprehensive, self-paced training course designed specifically for IT professionals who manage MikroTik equipment in the real world.
Whether you inherited a MikroTik router from a previous admin, transitioned from Cisco or another platform, or simply need to get productive with RouterOS quickly, this course was built for you.
What Is MikroTik First 30 Days?
MikroTik First 30 Days is a structured, hands-on training program that takes you from initial orientation to professional-level network management across six focused modules:
| Module | Title | What You'll Master |
|---|---|---|
| Module 1 | Day 1 Confidence | WinBox navigation, Safe Mode, backups, admin security |
| Module 2 | Secure It | Firewall logic, custom rules, attack protection, security audits |
| Module 3 | Connect It | Site-to-site VPNs (IPsec & WireGuard), remote user access, VPN troubleshooting |
| Module 4 | Control It | DHCP management, VLANs, bandwidth control, QoS, guest networks |
| Module 5 | Fix It | Log analysis, Torch, packet capture, troubleshooting methodology, maintenance routines |
| Module 6 (Coming Soon) | Wireless It | WiFi configuration, CAPsMAN central management, multi-SSID with VLANs, wireless troubleshooting |
The course includes over 30 lessons, 19+ downloadable deliverables (configuration templates, cheat sheets, troubleshooting flowcharts), and practical Quick Win exercises at the end of every module that you can deploy on your network immediately.
All content is written for RouterOS 7.x and verified against current releases.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is designed for working IT professionals who:
- Inherited MikroTik equipment and need to manage it competently
- Come from a Cisco, Juniper, or other networking background and find RouterOS unfamiliar
- Need practical skills fast — not certification prep or academic theory
- Want reliable reference material they can return to when problems arise
If you have solid networking fundamentals but MikroTik-specific experience is limited, this course bridges that gap efficiently.
What Makes This Course Different
There is no shortage of MikroTik content on the internet. Forum posts, YouTube videos, and official documentation all have their place. But they share common shortcomings for the working admin who needs answers now:
- Forum posts require reading dozens of replies to piece together a solution — and half of them are outdated.
- YouTube tutorials are hard to reference quickly during a live incident.
- Official documentation is thorough but assumes familiarity with RouterOS conventions.
MikroTik First 30 Days addresses these gaps directly:
- Structured progression — Each module builds on the previous one in a logical sequence.
- Dual-format instructions — Every task includes both CLI commands and WinBox (GUI) steps.
- Copy-paste configurations — Tested templates you can deploy with minimal modification.
- Decision trees and flowcharts — Systematic troubleshooting, not guesswork.
- Cisco comparisons — Familiar reference points for admins transitioning from other platforms.
