This document outlines the training objectives, structure, and modules of a 4-day MikroTik Certified Network Associate (MTCNA) course. The course introduces students to RouterOS software and RouterBoard hardware, and teaches them how to configure a MikroTik router, provide basic network services, and perform basic troubleshooting. It is aimed at network engineers and technicians and assumes knowledge of TCP/IP and subnetting. The course consists of 8 modules covering topics like routing, bridging, wireless networking, firewalls, and VPN tunnels, with each module concluding with hands-on labs to reinforce the material.
