WHY TRAIN WITH US

Taught by Engineers, Not Salespeople

Our training team holds the Peplink Certified Engineer Trainer (PCE-Trainer) certification. That means every course we deliver meets the same technical standard Peplink themselves require. We are not simply reading from a manual. We are engineers who configure, troubleshoot and deploy Peplink networks every week, across broadcast trucks, container ships, festival sites and multi-site enterprise rollouts.

Most vendor training follows a pattern: slides, a recorded demo, a quiz at the end. Our courses break that pattern entirely. Every session is built around live hardware. Participants configure real Peplink routers, build real SpeedFusion tunnels and troubleshoot real failure scenarios. When the course finishes, the skills are already tested under pressure.

As a Peplink Gold Partner, we maintain a full inventory of hardware for training purposes. This includes Balance routers, MAX cellular devices, HD series multi-WAN appliances, and AP One access points. Participants work with the same equipment they will encounter in production environments, which means no surprises when they begin deploying.

COURSE CONTENT

What You Will Learn

Our standard training programme covers the full Peplink product range and the core skills needed to plan, configure and maintain Peplink-based networks. We structure the content into modules so that courses can be adapted to the experience level of each group.

Module 1: Peplink Hardware Overview

Participants begin with a thorough introduction to the Peplink hardware range. This covers the Balance series for wired multi-WAN deployments, the MAX series for cellular connectivity, the HD series for high-throughput environments, and the AP One range of access points. We explain the positioning of each product family, typical deployment scenarios, and how to select the right device for a given use case. By the end of this module, participants understand the full product line and can confidently recommend hardware for any project brief.

Module 2: Basic Configuration

This module covers initial device setup, including WAN configuration for Ethernet, cellular and Wi-Fi as WAN connections. Participants configure LAN settings, DHCP, VLANs and basic firewall rules. We also cover firmware updates, backup and restore procedures, and the process for factory resetting a device. Each concept is demonstrated on live hardware, and participants replicate the configuration on their own lab units before moving on.

Module 3: SpeedFusion Setup

SpeedFusion is the core technology that sets Peplink apart from other SD-WAN vendors, and we give it the time it deserves. This module covers SpeedFusion VPN profiles, bonding versus hot failover, WAN smoothing, forward error correction, and bandwidth allocation. Participants build SpeedFusion tunnels between paired devices and test failover behaviour by physically disconnecting WAN links. We also cover SpeedFusion Cloud for deployments where a remote FusionHub is not available.

Module 4: InControl2 Management

InControl2 is Peplink's cloud-based management platform, and it is essential for any deployment beyond a handful of devices. This module covers device onboarding, group-based configuration templates, firmware scheduling, reporting and alerting. Participants learn to push configuration changes across multiple devices simultaneously and to use InControl2's mapping features for fleet visibility. We also cover the API for organisations that want to integrate InControl2 with their own monitoring tools.

Module 5: Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting skills separate competent engineers from those who rely on vendor support for every problem. This module covers diagnostic tools built into the Peplink web interface, including active sessions, event logs, speed tests and packet capture. We walk through structured troubleshooting workflows for common issues: WAN failover not triggering, SpeedFusion tunnel instability, cellular signal quality problems and DHCP conflicts. Participants work through fault scenarios on lab hardware to build muscle memory for real incidents.

Module 6: Advanced Topics

For experienced teams, we offer advanced sessions covering topics such as OSPF and BGP routing with Peplink devices, PepVPN mesh topologies, captive portal configuration, content filtering, and high-availability clustering. We also cover integration with third-party systems, including SNMP monitoring, syslog forwarding and SD-WAN policy-based routing. The scope of the advanced module is always tailored to the specific needs of the group.

TRAINING FORMATS

Choose How You Learn

We deliver training in three formats, each designed to work for different team sizes, locations and schedules. Every format includes hands-on lab time; the only difference is where the hardware sits.

Remote Training

Delivered via video call with access to our shared lab environment. Participants connect to real Peplink hardware remotely, configuring devices and testing failover scenarios through a secure tunnel. This format works well for distributed teams or organisations that want to avoid travel costs. Sessions run for half days to keep attention sharp, typically spread across three or four days.

Our remote lab gives each participant their own Peplink device pair, so everyone configures and troubleshoots independently rather than watching a single shared screen.

On-Site Training

We bring the hardware to you. Our training team arrives with a complete lab kit: routers, access points, SIM cards, Ethernet switches and pre-configured scenarios. On-site training is ideal for larger teams or for organisations with specific security requirements that prevent remote access. We can also incorporate your own production hardware into the exercises if you are preparing for an upcoming deployment.

On-site courses typically run as two or three full days. We adapt the schedule to fit around your team's operational commitments.

At Our Facility

For smaller groups or individuals, training at our facility in Warwickshire offers a focused environment with no workplace distractions. We maintain a dedicated training room equipped with a full range of Peplink hardware, multiple WAN connections and controlled failure simulation tools. Participants can work through complex scenarios at their own pace with direct support from our engineering team throughout.

This format is particularly popular with MSPs sending one or two engineers for intensive Peplink upskilling.

CUSTOM PROGRAMMES

Training Built Around Your Deployment

Standard courses cover the full Peplink platform. But if you have a specific deployment on the horizon, a custom training programme is often more valuable. We design bespoke courses around the exact hardware, topology and use case your team will face.

A maritime operator preparing to roll out MAX Transit units across a fleet will need very different training from a broadcast integrator configuring SpeedFusion bonding for live camera feeds. We tailor the content, the lab scenarios and the assessment criteria to match.

Custom programmes begin with a scoping call where we identify the key skills gaps and the specific Peplink products involved. We then build a course outline, source the correct hardware for the lab environment and deliver the training on a schedule that suits your rollout timeline. If the deployment is already underway, we can structure the training as working sessions where real configuration tasks double as learning exercises.

Past custom programmes have covered topics including:

Multi-cellular bonding for outside broadcast vehicles using MAX HD series
Maritime VSAT and cellular failover with SpeedFusion Cloud
Large-scale InControl2 management for enterprise multi-site rollouts
Captive portal and content filtering for education deployments
High-availability clustering for critical infrastructure sites
SD-WAN migration from legacy MPLS networks to Peplink Balance

CERTIFICATION

Peplink Certified Engineer Exam Preparation

The Peplink Certified Engineer (PCE) certification is the industry-recognised credential for Peplink deployment professionals. It demonstrates competence in hardware selection, configuration, SpeedFusion setup and network management. For MSPs and integrators, holding PCE certification is often a requirement to access Peplink partner programmes and preferred pricing.

Our training courses are structured to cover every topic on the PCE exam syllabus. While we do not teach to the test, participants who complete our standard or advanced courses leave with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to pass. We supplement the core course content with practice questions, scenario walkthroughs and targeted revision sessions covering areas where candidates commonly struggle.

The PCE exam itself is administered by Peplink. We help candidates register, prepare their study plan and schedule their exam at a time that gives them enough room to revise. Our pass rate speaks for itself: the overwhelming majority of candidates who train with us pass on their first attempt.

For organisations that want to build a team of certified engineers, we offer group PCE preparation packages. These include pre-assessment testing to identify individual knowledge gaps, targeted training to address those gaps and post-exam follow-up to ensure the certification translates into real-world competence.

WHO BENEFITS

Training for Every Role

Our courses are designed for technical professionals at all levels. Whether your team has never touched a Peplink device or you need to upskill existing staff on advanced features, we build the content to match.

IT Teams Deploying Peplink for the First Time

Your organisation has chosen Peplink as its connectivity platform, and now your team needs to understand how to configure, manage and maintain it. Our foundation courses take participants from unboxing through to a fully operational network. We cover everything from basic WAN setup to SpeedFusion tunnel configuration, ensuring your team can handle day-to-day management without relying on external support. By the end of the course, your engineers will know the platform well enough to troubleshoot common issues independently and escalate intelligently when needed.

MSPs Adding Peplink to Their Portfolio

Managed service providers see strong demand for SD-WAN and cellular bonding solutions from their client base. Adding Peplink to your service portfolio opens up recurring revenue opportunities through hardware sales, deployment services and ongoing management contracts. Our MSP-focused training covers the commercial and technical sides: which products to recommend for different client profiles, how to price managed Peplink services, and the technical skills to deploy and monitor client networks through InControl2. We also cover the Peplink partner programme requirements and how PCE certification fits into your growth strategy.

Integrators Building Peplink into Solutions

Systems integrators who build Peplink into larger solutions need deep technical knowledge and the ability to configure complex topologies. Our advanced training covers multi-site mesh VPN configurations, OSPF and BGP integration, API-driven automation through InControl2 and hardware selection for specialist environments such as vehicles, vessels and temporary sites. We work closely with integrators to ensure the training aligns with their specific solution architecture and deployment methodology.

AFTER THE COURSE

Post-Training Support

Training is only valuable if the skills stick. We know that real questions often surface weeks after a course ends, when participants begin applying what they learned to production environments. That is why every training engagement includes access to our engineering team for follow-up questions after the course concludes.

Our post-training support covers configuration advice, troubleshooting guidance and best practice recommendations. If a participant encounters a scenario they did not cover during the course, they can reach out to the same engineers who delivered the training. There is no call centre queue, no ticket system and no waiting for a callback from someone who was not in the room.

For organisations with ongoing training needs, we offer annual training partnerships. These include refresher sessions when Peplink releases major firmware updates, onboarding courses for new staff joining the team, and access to our knowledge base of deployment guides, configuration templates and troubleshooting checklists. This ensures your team stays current as the Peplink platform evolves and your network grows.

We also provide written course materials and lab exercise documentation for every participant. These serve as a reference guide long after the training session ends, covering the exact configurations and procedures demonstrated during the course. For organisations that run internal knowledge sharing sessions, we can provide materials formatted for re-use in team presentations.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Training Experience

Every course follows a structured pattern, but the content is always adapted to the group. Before the training begins, we send a pre-course questionnaire to understand each participant's current experience level and their specific goals. This allows us to pitch the content correctly and focus on the areas that will deliver the most value.

Sessions alternate between instructor-led demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises. We aim for a 40/60 split: 40 percent demonstration and explanation, 60 percent hands-on configuration and troubleshooting. This ratio keeps participants engaged and ensures they build genuine skills rather than passive familiarity.

Group sizes are kept small, typically between four and eight participants. This ensures everyone gets sufficient time with the hardware and direct access to the instructor for questions. For larger teams, we run multiple cohorts or add a second instructor to maintain the quality of interaction.

At the end of each course, participants complete a practical assessment that tests their ability to configure a Peplink network from scratch, including WAN setup, SpeedFusion tunnel creation, InControl2 onboarding and basic troubleshooting. Those preparing for the PCE exam receive a detailed report highlighting any areas that need further revision before sitting the certification test.
