Each road below is a sequence of live, instructor-led courses in the right order — from first fundamentals to the job title at the end, with nothing repeated and nothing skipped.
The map
4 courses / 10–14 months
The honest route into AI engineering: Python first, the algorithmic thinking interviews demand, then the full AI engineering stack — and finally the MLOps to run models in production.
Ends atMLOps Engineer
Walk the path
4 courses / 6–9 months/ forks in two
Two stages of core craft — the delivery loop itself, then the Python that automates it — before the road forks into the cloud you'll practise it on: AWS or Azure.
Ends atSenior DevOps Engineer (AWS) / Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure)
Walk the path
3 courses / 12–18 months
The route Cisco itself lays out, taught live on physical racks. Three certifications, one continuous curriculum — each stage assumes the last, so nothing is repeated and nothing is skipped.
Ends atNetwork Architect
Walk the path
4 courses / 6–9 months
From your first query to production pipelines: SQL and Power BI to ask questions, Excel and Tableau to tell the story, Python to automate it, and data engineering to make it run every day.
Ends atData Engineer
Walk the path
3 courses / 8–12 months
Ship a real product first — TypeScript, React, Node and LLM APIs — then add the Python that automates everything around it, and the DevOps to run what you build.
Ends atProduct Engineer
Walk the path
6 courses / 12–24 months/ forks in two
Every serious security engineer starts by understanding the thing they're securing. After CCNA the road forks: break things for a living, or build the defences that stop the people who do.
Ends atRed Teamer / Security Architect
Walk the path
9 courses / 14–20 months/ forks in two
The cloud is someone else's network — so the road starts by learning how networks actually work, then forks into the two platforms the industry runs on: AWS or Azure.
Ends atPlatform Engineer / Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure)
