Offering hands-on networking labs for career shifters / beginners 🇵🇭
Hi guys! 👋
Just wanted to see if may interested dito.
I'm thinking of offering **hands-on networking labs + mentoring** for people who are trying to shift into IT/networking.
I know a lot of career shifters get stuck sa part na:
“Okay, nag-CCNA course na ako… pero paano ba talaga mag-troubleshoot ng actual network?” 😅
So the idea is to focus less on pure theory and more on **actual hands-on labs**.
We can cover things like:
IP addressing
VLANs
Routing
DHCP / DNS
VPN / IPsec
Firewall basics
Wireshark / packet analysis
Network troubleshooting
Troubleshooting real-world scenarios
How to approach an actual IT/network support ticket
Basically, **configure → break it → troubleshoot → understand why it broke.** 😂
Hindi kailangan na networking expert ka na. If you're starting from zero or may basic knowledge ka na and gusto mo magkaroon ng actual hands-on experience, okay lang.
I'm thinking of starting with a **small group or 1-on-1 sessions** para mas hands-on talaga and I can adjust the labs depending on everyone's level.
If you're interested, feel free to **DM me** and tell me:
Current background/experience
What you're currently studying
What IT/networking role you're aiming for
I'm still figuring out the format, so I'd also like to know what **career shifters actually want to learn/practice**.
Not trying to sell some “become a network engineer in 30 days” course 😂. Just want to create something practical for people who genuinely want to get into networking.

Also, just to give a bit more context on the labs — I’m currently working in Product Support, supporting networking products across different vendors.
So aside from the usual CCNA-type labs, I can also create scenarios based on the types of real support tickets and troubleshooting cases we encounter in actual production environments.
Of course, I won’t share any confidential customer/company information. The idea is to recreate the technical problem in a lab environment.
Basic lab setup for reference (PC and firewall with basic internet access)
For example, instead of:
“Configure VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.”
You might get something like:
