What are the specializations offered by the LACNIC Campus?
Specializations are training tracks organized by level and designed to go through the courses available on the LACNIC Campus for the purpose of obtaining a certification in the three topics that are offered, all of them related to network operation.
The goal of this program is to provide technical information, applied and organized in three levels —basic, intermediate, and advanced— with the opportunity to obtain a certification endorsed by LACNIC.
Each student will have the flexibility to progress through the three levels at their own pace to obtain the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, choosing the timing and order that suits them the best.
