The practical work we did laid the foundation of my entire future career.
I connected with Junaid Sir on the first attempt. His confidence is out of this world. The knowledge he has and the practical work we did laid the foundation of my future career. Techboxx helped resurrect my career, and a year after finishing I'm happy with where I am. I'd recommend every youngster start training in their final year of college.

Before Techboxx I was dazed and confused about my career. I could not have made a better decision.
Before Techboxx I was dazed, confused, not certain about my career. I was interested in computers but couldn't pinpoint my choice. After Techboxx, I don't think I could have made a better decision. Things that once seemed impossible to understand, Techboxx made possible, especially the tutors, Junaid Sir and Umer Sir, the best trainers I could ever have.

You can find books and videos about networking, but the kick you get from Techboxx is next level.
If anyone ever asks me for career advice, I tell them to join Techboxx, not just for what they teach, but the ambiance and positivity. You can find in-depth books and videos about networking, but the kick a person gets from Techboxx is next level.
Supportive trainers and practical labs made networking concepts easy to understand.
Recently completed my CCNA and CCNP Enterprise courses at Techboxx. It was a great learning experience, with supportive trainers and practical lab sessions that made networking concepts easy to understand. The instructors were always helpful in clearing doubts. I would definitely recommend Techboxx to anyone looking to build a career in networking.
Techboxx helped me get a remote job. Four of us were placed as Cloud Security Engineers.
Techboxx not only trained me well but helped me get a remote job. I, along with three more batchmates from Techboxx, got placed as Cloud Security Engineers. All thanks to the trainers and the management who supported us at every level.
Techboxx is the best career launchpad. I joined their Cybersecurity Career Program.
I would say Techboxx is the best career launchpad. I joined one of their Cybersecurity Career Programs, 'CyberXpert Shield: Network Security Engineer'. It's been a month since I completed my training and it has set me up perfectly.
The Networking and Cybersecurity skills I learnt here helped me land a job at HP as a Firewall engineer.
My seniors recommended I go to Techboxx to build my skills before searching for jobs, and I don't regret coming here. The skills in Networking and Cybersecurity I learnt here helped me land a job at HP as a Firewall engineer.

If I had done something great in my life to shape my career, it was to join Techboxx. The community there is incredibly helpful. You're always boosted by people who have been through it and achieved so much. The way of teaching is extraordinary, and the shaping of mindset, mainly by Umer Sir, is wonderful. It's worth investing your time and money in Techboxx to shape your career.
The trainers, especially Junaid Sir, are highly knowledgeable and supportive across CCNA, CCNP and CCIE.
