Design, build and manage enterprise network infrastructure — on real MikroTik equipment, not on a simulator.
There is no shortage of people in Dar es Salaam who can plug in a router and get a connection. There is a serious shortage of people who can design an addressing scheme that still makes sense in two years, segment a network so a compromised camera cannot reach the finance department, and find a fault at two in the morning without guessing.
The gap is not knowledge of the products. MikroTik is well documented and the menus are not difficult. The gap is in the discipline around the work: planning before configuring, understanding why a rule behaves as it does rather than copying it, and testing under the conditions the network will really face.
Ten weeks, five modules, more than fifty hours in the lab. Everything is built on equipment you configure yourself, from factory default, and then have to fix when it stops working.
| Duration | 10 weeks |
| Structure | 5 modules, 4 graded labs |
| Lab time | More than 50 hours hands-on |
| Level | Beginner to advanced — starts from the OSI model |
| Equipment | MikroTik L009 routers, switches, wireless and IP CCTV |
| Delivery | Face-to-face, Mbezi Mshikamano, Dar es Salaam |
| Certificate | Kevajopa Certificate in Digital Networking |
| Fee | TZS 500,000, full programme |
Entry requirements. Basic computer literacy is the only prerequisite. Module 1 starts from the OSI model and assumes nothing. No prior networking experience, no programming, and no vendor certification is required. Adequate English is needed — equipment menus and documentation are in English, though sessions are delivered in English and Kiswahili.
Roughly a third of the time is instruction. The rest is on equipment. Every module ends with something built and working, and every configuration is done from factory default rather than from a saved file — so the sequence is learned, not the shortcut.
The lab scenarios are drawn from real Kevajopa deployments: a two-site financial services customer, a two-storey bank with CCTV and guest Wi-Fi, an ISP signing on subscribers. The requirements are the awkward ones that come from real clients, not the tidy ones that make a textbook example work first time.
Before anything is configured, the ideas the rest of the programme stands on. Taught from zero — the only prerequisite is basic computer literacy.
The first router comes out of the box at factory default and does not leave the bench until it is a working office router.
The firewall and the tunnel. Where most real networks are weakest, and where a misconfiguration is hardest to see.
Wireless in real buildings, with real interference — not in an empty room.
The step from an office network to a network other people pay to use.
One hundred marks across the programme. Each lab is documented and submitted, and each is built on a scenario taken from real work.
Design a VLSM addressing scheme for a two-site organisation — head office in Dar es Salaam, branch in Arusha — from a single /24 allocation, covering finance, IT, CCTV, management, sales and the WAN link. Documented in a structured table, with gateway addresses and remaining address space accounted for.
Take a MikroTik L009 from factory default to a working office router: identity and user security, interface naming and addressing, DHCP server, default route and NAT, then two VLANs with a firewall rule between them. The same sequence Kevajopa uses on customer deployments.
Build a firewall rule set that survives inspection, then deploy a WireGuard tunnel and prove it works — reaching the remote subnet, keeping local internet access, and showing the last handshake time from the peer table.
A full design for a two-storey bank: banking hall with thirty workstations, ten IP cameras, an ATM, a server room, management offices and guest Wi-Fi. VLAN scheme, firewall rules, wireless coverage plan and CCTV integration, written out ready for deployment.
Assessment is continuous and mostly practical. The four graded labs carry one hundred marks between them and are marked on the documented design and the working configuration, not on whether the right answer was reached by luck. A final assessment at the end of the programme combines multiple choice, short written answers and a practical task.
A Kevajopa Technologies Limited Certificate in Digital Networking is awarded on satisfactory completion of the labs and the final assessment, with a minimum 80% attendance recorded per session. The certificate is a Kevajopa award — it is not a MikroTik MTCNA or any other vendor certification, though the programme covers substantial ground in common with MTCNA and is useful preparation for it.
TZS 500,000 for the full ten-week programme. That includes all instruction and lab time, use of all equipment, lab sheets and course materials, all assessment and marking, and the certificate. Kevajopa Technologies Limited is not VAT-registered; no VAT is charged and none should be added. Public entities deduct 2% withholding tax at source in accordance with Tanzanian law — the withholding certificate should be issued to Kevajopa Technologies Limited, TIN 172-177-301.
We do not publish a fixed calendar. An intake is scheduled once a group has confirmed, and confirmed participants receive at least ten working days’ notice of the start date. Group rates are available for three or more registering together, and corporate cohorts can be delivered at the client’s premises where facilities allow.
