MTCRE: MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer

MikroTik training is ideal for anyone working with networks, from ISP engineers and corporate administrators to wireless technicians, IT consultants, and security professionals. It equips them to design, secure, and optimize networks using RouterOS and RouterBOARD devices. Students and new IT professionals gain essential foundational skills, while small businesses benefit by learning to manage their own routers effectively. Because MikroTik is widely used for routing, bandwidth control, PPPoE, BGP, MPLS, and WiFi, certified professionals are highly valuable across ISP and enterprise environments.
