Network Engineering Live Training & Industry Internship

This 3-month Networking Training & Internship Program combines 2 months (8 weeks) of structured, hands-on training with 1 month of practical internship 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, interns apply everything learned to real or simulated network tasks configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting under supervision, gaining practical, portfolio-ready 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
