Requirements
Are you ready to go beyond theory and actually build real networks? In this hands-on Cisco Packet Tracer course, you’ll gain the practical skills needed to confidently design, configure, and troubleshoot small to medium-sized networks—perfect for beginners and aspiring IT professionals.
This course is all about learning by doing. Through guided labs and real-world scenarios, you’ll learn how to set up routers, switches, and end devices, configure essential services, and understand how data moves across a network. You’ll use Cisco’s Packet Tracer simulator—an industry-standard tool used to model, test, and practice networking concepts in a safe, virtual environment.
Each lab is carefully designed to give you both confidence and competence. You’ll learn how to create VLANs, configure inter-VLAN routing, set up static and dynamic IP addressing, work with NAT, and understand how protocols like STP and DHCP function in action. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build full network topologies and troubleshoot issues just like you would in a real job.
Whether you’re studying for the Cisco CCNA, working in IT support, or just getting started with networking, this course gives you the skills you need to take the next step in your IT career.
No prior Cisco experience is required—just a basic understanding of networks and a desire to learn. Let’s build your networking skills together, one lab at a time.
