Most people who want to break into networking do the same thing: buy a pre-recorded course, watch the first three modules at 1.5x speed, and never open Packet Tracer again. The course doesn't fail them. It just never asked them to show up.
Codelivly's Network Engineering Live Training & Internship is built around the part pre-recorded courses skip: a live cohort, three sessions a week, with an instructor, that meets whether or not you feel like opening the laptop that day.
Training runs 8 weeks across three stages:
- Weeks 1-3: OSI/TCP-IP models, Ethernet, MAC & ARP, IPv4/IPv6, subnetting, VLANs, trunking, Spanning Tree Protocol
- Weeks 4-6: static and dynamic routing (OSPF), inter-VLAN routing, HSRP, DHCP, DNS, NAT/PAT, wireless network design
- Weeks 7-8: network security (ACLs, firewalls, VPNs), monitoring, troubleshooting methodology, capped by a full enterprise network design project
For students who add the optional internship month, a fourth month puts everything to work: real or simulated network configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting tasks, under supervision, documented the way an actual job would require. Not a job offer, doesn't pretend to be one, just the difference between finishing a course and finishing with something you can actually show someone.
No prior networking experience needed, the program starts from zero, and the only real prerequisite is basic comfort with Windows or Linux. Sessions run Mon/Wed/Fri, 3:45-5:30 PM UTC, an evening slot that lands at a normal hour across the UK and most of Europe.
Next cohort starts September 14, 2026. Sale price (£99.99 training only, £149.98 with internship) ends September 9, five days before the cohort even opens.
