Lab hours booked for network practice — not slide decks alone

[03] Inclusions
What sits inside a cohort seat
Rack + simulator mix
Physical switching blocks for STP feel, paired with safe virtual segments when weather or travel interferes.
Diagram reviews
Redlines on L2/L3 drawings, not generic “looks good” stamps — tied to the Enterprise Routing & Switching Lab rubric.
Office hours
Published response windows so you know when DHCP confusion or firewall wording gets answered.
[04] Flow
Three beats we repeat every sprint
Baseline capture
You record interfaces, routes, or airtime before touching configs.
Change with rollback
Every push lists a revert path; mentors reject vague “fix forward only” plans.
Ticket-language summary
You export a paragraph another engineer could paste into Jira without emoji.
[05] Catalog preview
Featured network-first courses
Hands-on VLAN design, STP tuning, and multi-site routing patterns for production LANs.
Rule hygiene, object naming, and change windows modeled on real ticket flows.
Idempotent configs, dry-run diffs, and small CLI tools you can run on your laptop.
Integrates routing, Wi-Fi, firewall, and documentation into one graded storyline.
[06] Partners
Teams that loan us scenarios
Logistics NOCs, school board IT, and MSP desks share anonymized tickets so Firewall Policy Workshop stories feel like Friday night war rooms — without exposing customer names.
[07] Cohorts
Voices mentioning real module names
STP recovery lab in Enterprise Routing finally made blocking states stick — I brought my own diagram to a panel.
Roaming script from Wireless Site Survey week 2 replaced our sticky-note runbook. Short, blunt, useful.
IPv6 rollout playbook helpdesk FAQ cut repeat tickets during our pilot — modest, but we measured fewer pings.
Fine.

Next evening intake opens 14 May 2026 for routing and Wi-Fi tracks. We cap labs at 18 seats per night block so mentors can keep up with capture reviews — no countdown gimmicks, just published capacity.
