Mikrotik Certification test

RouterOS General
1

Hello i have plans to take the mikrotik certification test, how hard could be?

thanks

2

Really easy!

3

can you talk more about the the test?

4

I did the advanced test about 2 months ago - there were very few questions about routerOS itself,
more about networking in general - know your subnetting, port numbers (MT) etc.

All multiple choice - but they do throw in some tricky questions.

5

I took the certification test on november 07. It was about 1hour long, but to me seemed enough 35minutes. It was online and was covering basically all the RouterOS most used features. I think there were 23 questions (i think)…only about 3 were tricky, but most of them were straight forward…
Also networking average level knowledge is covered… IP basics, just a bit of OSI, etc… but the test maybe changed the time you’re going to take it..

sorry for jump up

I want to know if Mikrotik Certification could be taking without the training, like Microsoft or Cisco exams.
Or as I heard that you must take the training before the test.

8

yes egycom

you must take training first - if you fail the test you must do the training again before you can write again.
a bit of a pain, but that’s how they do it.

we can’t really give certification to people we never met. we have to see how you work in reality in a class before we give you our approval. that’s how a real certificate should be - something that can be trusted, not purchased.

I completely agree with Normis on this one!

I run training for a number of security vendors, and some of them literally do give it away for a fee. Others require you to do the training, and let you sit an open book exam, which tests not only your general knowledge but your ability to find the answer to a problem whilst under time pressures.

We did a training in Poland this year, which is very cheap to travel to from the UK. Even from Latvia I can get to UK for like 20 pounds.

What about comming to serbia :slight_smile: .

Here mikrotik is very very popular, and people would like to see you here.

13

We had more than 500 people in Poland MUM. They came from all around the world. Many people used their cars to drive from Estonia, Czech Republic, Germany. Many used discount airlines to fly in from UK and USA.

All I’m saying is - there are +/- 245 countries (depending on where you live) in this world, and MikroTik can’t come to every one of them.

14

If there is enough demand to assemble a group of 10+ participants, you can talk with independent trainers (me, for example; you can drop a line to lastguru [at] gmail.com) to make training and certification at your location. I do not mind going to UK or Serbia, because, just as Normis said, the traveling is really inexpensive nowadays.

Hi Normis

I did a training and test through Miro Distributions (South Africa) in the beginning of March and passed, I have received my (training) certificate from Miro, but still waiting for my Mikrotik Certificate. - They say it gets sent from Latvia and they haven’t got it yet.

Does one qualify for a discounted price on products if certified?

Cheers

sorry, there is no discount for certified people. but you can start your consulting business, or get more certification to become a trainer yourself. also a certified person is required in companies that want to be distributors, which is also nice for you. and then - you could make a distribution yourself and get discounts :slight_smile:

we can’t really give certification to people we never met. we have to see how you work in reality in a class before we give you our approval.

please correct your slogan on logo to “routing the world we met before”

that’s not logical. some specialist persons may be sick and can’t sit on the class!
"that is my problem too!!! :frowning: "

Hi Normis,

Will you organize training in Latvia? I want to learn all about routerOS and be certified engineer of MT traveling once. I think better to learn in where RouterOS born.

19

MikroTik doesn’t organize training anymore. We only organize Train-the-Trainer course to become a certified trainer. The MTC tests you have to pass at our certified training partners.

What about Pakistan Sir G?
My country is not listed in trainings and partners.
Think about it too.
