Why this one

Where this actually takes you

Networking is one of the few fields where a recognised certificate still moves you to the front of the queue — valuable when you do not have a metro-city degree.

Network Engineer

The core role, in-house or with a service provider.

NOC Engineer

Monitoring and first-response on live networks. Common entry point.

IT Support / Systems Engineer

Widely available locally, not only in metros.

The syllabus

Three months, foundation to advanced

12 weekends. 24 live sessions. Each month ends with something you built and can show — not a certificate of attendance.

1 Month 1 · Foundation

How networks work

Models, addressing and the fundamentals the whole CCNA rests on.

  • OSI and TCP/IP models — and using them to diagnose faults
  • IPv4 addressing and subnetting until it is genuinely automatic
  • Switching basics: MAC tables, VLANs, trunking
  • Cisco IOS command line, and building topologies in Packet Tracer
You finish withA multi-VLAN switched network, built and documented in Packet Tracer.
2 Month 2 · Core

Routing and services

Moving traffic between networks, and the services that make them usable.

  • Static routing, then OSPF — configuration and troubleshooting
  • Inter-VLAN routing, DHCP, DNS and NAT
  • Wireless fundamentals and IPv6 basics
  • Structured troubleshooting: isolating a fault instead of guessing
You finish withA routed multi-site network with DHCP, NAT and working end-to-end connectivity.
3 Month 3 · Advanced

Security, automation and the exam

CCNA completion, an introduction to CCNP topics, and exam preparation.

  • Access control lists, port security and network hardening
  • Network automation concepts and why Python is entering this field
  • Introduction to CCNP: advanced routing, redundancy, and scale
  • CCNA exam strategy, timed practice and lab drills
You finish withCapstone: design, build, secure and document a full enterprise network, plus a CCNA mock exam.

Tools you'll actually have used

Not a reading list. Every one of these is used in a graded exercise during the course.

A portfolio, not a certificate

Three graded pieces of real work — one per month — plus the capstone. This is what gets you the interview.

A certificate from Snow Stag

Issued on completing the assessment and attending enough of the course to have earned it.

Interview preparation

Mock interviews, CV and LinkedIn review, and how to talk about work you have actually done.

The fee

Deliberately small, on purpose

Mentors volunteer their weekends. The fee covers what it costs to run the course — nothing more. It is charged monthly so nobody has to find a large sum upfront.

Money should not be the reason you don't apply. If even this is out of reach, say so on your application. We would rather find a way than lose someone who wants it.

What to take next — or alongside

Each course stands on its own. But some combinations make you noticeably harder to replace, and these are the ones worth planning for.

Before you apply

The honest answers

No. This course starts at foundation level and assumes nothing. What you do need is twelve weekends of genuine attention — that is the real entry requirement, and the one most people underestimate.

No. Classes are live and online, so you join from wherever you are. The whole point of these skills is that the work travels even when you do not.

That is exactly who this is built for. Classes are Saturdays & Sundays only, plus practice time in between. Nothing happens on a weekday.

Every session is recorded and yours to keep. But attendance is tracked — people who watch recordings instead of attending consistently do not finish, and we would rather tell you that now.

Yes. ₹3,000 in total across 3 months, paid monthly. No registration fee, no material charges, no exam fee. Note that fees are not refundable, so please be sure before you commit.

We do not guarantee jobs, and be careful of anyone who does. What you get is a portfolio of real work, a certificate, mock interviews and CV support. The hiring decision belongs to employers.

Dates are being confirmed now. Applying puts you on the list first — applicants hear the start date before it is announced publicly.
