Will my MTCNA be renewed if I attend an engineer level course and pass the test?

When attending an engineer level training course and passing the respective certification test, the MTCNA certificate will not be renewed. To attend 1st level engineer training course (e.g. MTCRE), the MTCNA certificate does not need to be valid. The participant has to have the MTCNA, but it can be already expired. If you require a valid MTCNA, please attend a re-certification course.

NEW! Renewals now can be done online - both the training part and the certification test. Applies only when renewing an existing certificate which is about to expire or has already expired.

Do you offer online training?

We believe in the benefits of a classroom based learning environment where participants can work together, solve tasks in groups, help each other and share their knowledge. Currently we offer only classroom based training courses taught by experienced MikroTik certified trainers.

NOTE. Due to the pandemic for the time being the training part can be provided online should the trainer and participants agree. The practical part and the certification exam to acquire a new certificate remains classroom based.

How many questions are in the test?

Each test consists of 25 single or multiple choice questions.

How much time do I have for the test?

From the moment when the participants starts the test, he/she has 60 minutes to complete it. Partially finished test is accepted and graded as well.

What is the pass score for the certification test?

The pass score is 60%.

If I don’t pass the certification test, when can I retake it?

If the test result is between 50% and 59%, the trainer can offer the 2nd chance right away. If the result is lower, to take the test again, the participant has to attend the training course again and take the test again no sooner than after 30 days from the previous attempt. The same conditions apply if the participant does not pass the test with 2nd chance.

Can I take just the test without attending the training?

Prior to the certification test, a training session has to take place.
