Advanced Courses: Put the Skills to Work
Move from understanding equipment to planning, installing and verifying it. Each course ends in evidence you can explain.
Plan, configure and verify a network
Finish with an address plan, access matrix and a verified small-office lab.
Before this course: equipment roles, IP, DHCP and DNS and PoE basics.
Subnets and VLANs: Build a Small Address Plan
Work through a /26 example, understand the gateway and separate addressing from access control.
Open lessonFollow a Packet: Ports, Protocols and Routing
Follow a web request through a small network and use the OSI model as a troubleshooting aid, not a memorization exercise.
Open lessonPlanning a Ubiquiti UniFi Network
Build the network around what the business needs to do. The equipment list should follow a clear plan for coverage, capacity, security and recovery.
Open lessonUniFi VLAN and Network Segmentation Fundamentals
A separate network name is only the beginning. Good segmentation gives each device the connections it needs and verifies that unwanted access is blocked.
Open lessonDiagnosing UniFi Device Adoption Problems
An adoption failure is a clue, not a diagnosis. Follow the connection from the device to its managing application, then change the part the evidence identifies.
Open lessonNetwork Maintenance: Small Habits That Prevent Big Problems
Build a practical routine for accounts, updates, backups, monitoring and changes without turning it into paperwork.
Open lessonPractice Lab: Build and Verify a Small Office Network
Put addressing, VLANs, PoE and testing together in a small lab with a clear finish line.
Open lessonInstall and verify copper cabling
Finish with identified endpoints, suitable terminations and the specified test evidence.
Before this course: cable categories and reading a test report. Use disconnected practice hardware before field tasks.
Proper Cat6 Termination
A reliable termination keeps the cable pairs in their intended shape and uses the connector exactly as designed. Follow the product instructions, then prove the finished connection.
Open lessonIdentifying and Tracing Existing Cabling
The goal is a confirmed connection with a usable label and record. A loud tone or an old handwritten tag is only a clue.
Open lessonVerification vs Qualification vs Certification Testing
Start with the question the test must answer. Correct wiring, support for an application and compliance with a cabling standard require different evidence.
Open lessonUnderstanding and Testing 66 and 110 Blocks
A cross-connect block organizes copper pairs between services and destinations. Before changing one, establish what the pair does and exactly how the installed block connects it.
Open lessonPlan and test fiber work
Finish with a worked loss allowance, a route comparison and a supervised practice record.
Before this course: fiber fundamentals and the linked fiber safety reading. Hands-on work requires suitable equipment and supervision.
Fiber Loss: Calculate, Measure, Explain
Work a simple loss budget, distinguish dB from dBm and choose the measurement that answers the question.
Open lessonConnect Two Buildings: Fiber or Wireless Bridge?
Compare routes, reliability and ownership using a small office-and-workshop example before choosing equipment.
Open lessonFiber Practice Lab: Prepare, Splice, Test and Record
A short supervised practice sequence that connects careful handling to a measured result and a usable handoff.
Open lessonExplore servers and responsible AI
Apply the same planning, verification and recovery habits to another useful problem.
Begin with the introduction to the topic. Follow the order below or revisit a specific lesson.
Using Proxmox to Reduce Server Infrastructure Costs
Proxmox can consolidate suitable workloads onto fewer physical servers. Savings depend on measured demand, application compatibility and a recovery plan the business can afford.
Open lessonPractical AI Adoption for Business
Start with one useful task and a clear way to check the result. A successful pilot saves time after review and correction, while keeping people responsible for business decisions.
Open lessonEnforce and operate network security
Finish with a policy/control matrix, access tests, an MSP review card and an incident tabletop.
Before this course: security-policy basics, accounts and MFA and VLAN fundamentals. Use authorized practice systems for configuration tests.
Turn a Security Policy into Working Controls
Take a written rule through configuration, testing, exception handling and ongoing review.
Open lessonProve Your Network Separation Works
Use a small lab to check that guests, cameras and administrators can reach only their intended services.
Open lessonRun Security as a Service, Not a Stack of Tools
Build an MSP routine that assigns owners, protects customer access and turns alerts, updates and backups into verified work.
Open lessonPractice the First Decisions in a Security Incident
Run a short tabletop that connects a suspicious sign-in, video records and business continuity without changing live systems.
Open lessonPlan, commission and maintain physical security
Finish with recording assumptions, a door acceptance plan and a controlled record-handoff process.
Before this course: camera planning, door-access basics, video-use rules and PoE basics. Real-door and egress checks require qualified ownership and an approved test plan.
Plan Camera Bandwidth, Storage and Network Access
Work a clear recording estimate, map network dependencies and define the tests that prove the design.
Open lessonCommission Door Access with an Acceptance Record
Turn an approved door design into a documented test plan that covers permissions, events and failure behavior.
Open lessonKeep Cameras and Door Access Ready for the Real Event
Use a short review routine to catch lost views, broken recording, stale permissions and missing event evidence.
