[Mike_McKearn]

We're just starting our first Meraki deployment, so I took "Deploying a Meraki-Managed Wireless Solution".

I thought it was a nice introduction to get us plugged in and on our way to configuring our first wireless network! Thanks for making resources like this available to new users. 

[Slobs2]

I took the course "Meet AI Assistant for Networking". I found it so interesting! I can ask plain questions and get detailed responses as to issues, configurations or clients. This is so useful!

[MartinLL]

I just did the Meet AI Assistant for Networking and Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway!

The AI module was nice and i look forward to trying it out in some of my larger deployments.

Campus Gateway was nice, but i wish there was some hands on in the module. Maybe something for a more advanced campus gateway track 🙂

[CJVio]

Troubleshooting Wireless Client Performance

Good troubleshooting information on client wireless issues and how to determine what might be happening.

[samoyk]

CMNA Module 07: Assurance Overview

Good walk through the Assurance tab in the dashboard to know how it can help clients reduce the time to repair or find the root cause of the issues they are facing in their network. 

[jasonjuneau]

Monitoring Switches at the Device-Level

nice refresher on switch monitoring,  

[rwiesmann]

Well I went for the Meet AI Assistant for Networking

Nice intro...but not going very deep

The thing is...AI Assistant is on my orgs still not available...that's a bit bad...otherwise I could just test it right away.

[CloudStrife]

I took the Meet AI Assistant for Networking and learned so much.  The training was terrific and I really enjoyed the way the videos helped with the understanding. 

[David_Roberto]

I've just completed Meet AI Assistant for Networking. It's a great improvement on Dashboard for sure.

[jdelpuerto]

Recently Completed Meraki AI Assistant for Networking and its been a valuable learning experience. 🎉

[DanielWahlsten]

I took the  Meet AI Assistant for Networking module because that's the one that was left over, more or less.

For beginners, it's super good! Clean, short, and with perfect examples. Keep on doing good stuff 🙂

[melofonito]

I have completed the course of "Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway". Very good course with a lot of information about Campus Gateway, Access Points and significant solutions for campus such as Universities and Hospitals.

It was a perfect training!!!

[niek]

I have just completed Troubleshooting Wireless Client Performance. Great training for finding issues with wireless clients. I will definitely look into more training courses and advise it to my colleagues.

[Amit_pal]

I took "Meet AI Assistant for Networking " , it was really helpful and i have suggested our L1 engineers to go through this course as well

This ll really help us in getting all the info we need from network

[AlexL1]

I recently completed the "Meet AI Assistant for Networking" session. It featured a highly interactive, live troubleshooting format with numerous practical examples. The AI assistant proved to be an invaluable tool for quickly diagnosing issues, gathering necessary information, and offering next steps and recommendations.

[AaronDo]

I completed "Meet AI Assistant for Networking" training.  It doesn't get enough into the meat and potatoes of what it can and can't do.  The AI often just pushes the user to the help manual pages and that's not very helpful, we could have just went there in the first place.  They don't mention that in the training.  

[Pato_Mansilla]

I just did the Meet AI Assistant for Networking

I was expecting a bit more hands on lab work, but it's ok, fortunately I have an organization to try out.

It is excellent what Cisco Meraki is doing by introducing this kind of help in the dashboard, as it is a great help in troubleshooting.💚

[senior_zezty]

I just did the Introducing the Meraki Platform.

It was a great starting point for me as I'm very new to the Meraki setup.

[AbrilHNMonarchQ]

Hi! 

I took the following courses:

Meraki Solutions for Systems Engineers Stage1&2

Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions Stage1&2

Meraki Troubleshooting for Support Engineers Stage1&2

And an additional requirement within the courses

Black Belt - Meraki Deployment Stage 1 (Partners only)

It took me some time, but the CTF theme is great!

Can't wait to keep exploring and learning more from the solutions!

[mark2tech]

I have taken several courses over the last 6 months and the content is definitely improving, including 

Configuring Site-to-site VPN on a Security and SD-WAN Appliance

Meet AI Assistant for Networking

[Sean_NCIUSA]

CMNA Curriculum. Test passed. 

[Ehteshamul]

Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway is course which I completed and happy to learn new things always in a simpler language on Meraki hub.Great platform to learn about Meraki 

[BryceKnezovich]

I just completed Configuring Site-to-site VPN on a Security and SD-WAN Appliance  and thought it was a great refresher on how the MX vpn tunnels operate. 

Short, concise, and easy to digest.

[Danlu2000]

I already did the CMNA-Fundamental. Today I finished the Meet AI Assistant for Networking and liked it.

It combined animations, videos, detailed description and test questions to help me thoroughly learn the content. I tried it with my dashboard AI Assistant to get hands-on experience. The demo account is a great place to check all the features since not all organizations have all the devices/features.

[danishrahman]

I recently completed a "Introducing the Meraki Platform" course and I’d like to share my thoughts:

• User Interface & Navigation: The platform is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. Appreciate how easily it's to find and launch the course which was interesting to me.
• Content Quality: The course content was well-structured, engaging, and relevant to my role. The mix of videos, quizzes, and interactive elements kept the learning experience dynamic.
• Performance & Accessibility: The course loaded smoothly without any technical issues. It was also accessible across devices, which made it convenient to continue learning on the go.
• Suggestions for Improvement: It would be great to have a progress tracker or dashboard that shows overall progress for the enrolled courses all in all and upcoming recommendations based on my learning path.

[BrunopLopes]

Concluí o curso Meet AI Assistant for Networking, que é uma excelente opção para identificar problemas cotidianos e obter insights. A combinação do curso com vídeos foi excepcional, pois demonstra claramente sua aplicação.

[daveh109]

I completed "Meet AI Assistant for Networking" and found it was a great introduction to a new tool that I would have been reluctant to try. The course had very creative real world examples and scenarios that helped me understand how the AI assistant could be queried. Well done!

[monkeyhouse]

I tried the AI for Networking video, but I was quite disapointed to learn that our licensing allows us to use very little of it!

[JDMAC]

I completed the Onboarding a Security Appliance.  If you have a Meraki Security Appliance I would suggest you take this course.   The information and scenarios are very well written and help you to learn what you are reading. 

[fernandoandrade]

I've just finished all CMNA curriculum content. 

Amazing how Meraki can deliver an integrated and cloud based solution for several enterprise use cases, like local networking and wireless, branch conectivity and edge security, physical security, environmental visibility and user experience monitoring. 

Just like a swiss knife for business and enterprises. 

[MerakiNoob101]

I took Introducing Meraki-Managed Switches

and learned about their use cases, aggregation switches, and link aggregation.

[Stiven94]

i love meraki 💕

[RADAVILA]

I took the Meet AI assistant class.     great flow with the new training portal. 

[JeremyB]

Introducing Cisco Meraki Cloud-First Wireless

I did the course just to test out the platform, and ended up spotting a feature I didn't know was available (which I'm now going to read deeper on).

[KOdevnet]

I just finished the Meet AI Assistant for Networking module!,

The Cisco AI Assistant truly simplifies troubleshooting, helping to quickly identify problem locations like the "Front of House AP" for wireless issues, and diagnosing related protocols or configuration errors such as WPA-PSK authentication failures or DHCP server policy issues. This capability greatly speeds up resolution times by providing immediate context and solutions, allowing IT to focus on core technologies; I imagine it would be amazing if it could also analyze Wi-Fi stability signals history in a specific AP, and if we could obtain SaaS health statistics, it would provide context much faster and enable even more efficient troubleshooting.

[SQx]

Just took "Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway", so good to know the use cases and share to customers in case they needed.

[RosbergCarvalho]

Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway

Excelente trainning for new Wireless Solution. Understanding that the solution already uses new protocols and features, such as VXLAN, allows us to innovate in my clients' network architectures.

[vstoica]

I recently completed the "Meet AI Assistant for Networking" module, and I found it to be an insightful 10-minute overview. The segment on practical use cases, as well as instructions on locating the assistant in the dashboard, was particularly beneficial. It is thrilling to witness the integration of AI in streamlining network management.

[Amar_Y]

I just finished the Campus Gateway course and it was really a good experience! The course structure was very clear and simple to follow, which made everything easy even for beginners like me. What I liked the most were the real-world examples—they really helped to understand how things work in actual situations. The interactive bits kept me interested throughout, and I found myself learning new things without even realising time was passing.

[jiribrejcha]

It's great to see new content like Campus Gateway and AI Assistant published on Meraki Learning.

[Steven_Reid]

I just took the 'Troubleshooting Content Filtering' module.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've completed the Black Belt Meraki Presales Stage 2 training! This advanced certification marks a significant milestone in my professional development. I now have a much deeper understanding of Meraki's capabilities, and more importantly, I know how to translate that knowledge into tangible business value for our clients.

Through this comprehensive program, I've honed my ability to effectively articulate the technical advantages of Meraki solutions, aligning them with specific customer needs and challenges. I'm now far better prepared to design robust and scalable Meraki architectures, confidently addressing complex networking and security requirements. This training empowers me not only to identify opportunities but also to build compelling solution proposals that truly resonate with decision-makers.

Furthermore, achieving Stage 2 demonstrates my commitment to continuous learning and a high level of expertise in the Meraki portfolio. This translates into increased credibility with both clients and our internal teams, positioning me as a trusted advisor capable of driving successful Meraki deployments and maximizing customer satisfaction. Ultimately, this enhanced skill set will allow me to accelerate sales cycles and contribute to greater business success.

[MK2]

[OK112]

Hello,

I have just finished the Introducing the Cisco Campus Gateway module in the new Learning Hub. It's been a while since I used the Learning Hub, but this new design and approiach is much more convinient and clear for me. The module itself (The Campus Gateway in the Meraki Dashboard) was new for me, so I found it interesting and informative. I can recommend it for everyone else.

As I checked the Learning Hub, I found out, that there are many new courses/modules, so i think it is time for me to explore the Mearki Learning Hub contents again.

[apdey]

I took the Meet AI Assistant for Networking course, and I absolutely loved the content! It was concise, providing just the right amount of information without dwelling on irrelevant topics. This approach kept me focused and engaged throughout the entire course. I truly appreciated how the material was presented in a way that made it easy to absorb and apply. Overall, it was a fantastic learning experience!

[ShaunCro]

Optimizing Meraki-Managed Uplink

[SergejSmirnov]

I have just finished the Cisco Integrations with Meraki course.
It's a very useful course for my everyday work, it should help me and our company to raise selling especially in Meraki/Cisco cross-platform selling. I think it's time to update this course with Splunk and other new Cisco products integrations.
Thank You for Your cooperation! It's a big pleasure to be a Cisco partner!

[hirocnet]

I aim to complete as many as possible over time.

I found the course clear, interesting and provided good information. 

[BrandonS]

I took the AI assistant module.

The mail I received about this had a broken link that I had to reassemble manually 🙂

https://communitymeraki.co.m/t5/Community-Announcements/Geek-Out-Skill-Up-and-Win-Big-with-the-Merak...

Maybe someone wants to know about this?  I was surprised to not see it mentioned in the comments yet.

[CarolineS]

@BrandonS oh no! Thank you so much for the heads up!

[RR-THE-IT-GUY1]

I thought it was just me that had that weird link so ignored it.

[DanD]

I took the course "Configuring Layer 3 Routing". We have always statically routed between switches, but our newest deployment includes 3 switch stacks that we are going to route between with OSPF to add some redundancy. So this course was a great refresher!

Looking forward to getting a couple more of these under my belt!

[UnknownLegend]

I took the Meraki Assurance course.

It provided a brief overview of how to use the new feature. A neat part I saw was that it showed errors specifically for radius issues.

[gpsklz]

I took the Cisco Networking Subscription to learn more about the model and thought it was very streamlined and simplistic

[gpsklz]

I took the Cisco Networking Subscription to learn more about the model and thought it was very streamlined and simplistic.

[AlexPalacios17]

Which course or module you took? I took and completed "Migrating Catalyst Switches for Cloud Management", that because we have a bunch of C9300 switches but also for branches we have Meraki switches deployed so this could be a great opportunity to merge both switches under a single pane of glass.

About my thoughts on it: It was pretty well explained, the content is really good because of the inteactive labs embedded on it so I, as a Network Enginner, can feel confident to accomplish a potential migration to cloud management.

[philven]

I took the short "Meet AI Assistant for Networking" course.

I learned:

What you can use AI Assistant for
How to find AI Assistant in the Meraki dashboard
Examples of how to use AI Assistant
Where to submit feedback to keep improving AI Assistant
AND most importantly that the meaning of life is 42 (of course ...)

[YOSELINE_ZAVALA]

The course I took was the CMNA course. It exceeded my expectations. It gave me a clear and practical understanding of how to design, configure, and manage networks with Cisco Meraki solutions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their networking profile and acquire real-world skills. I learned a lot and feel more prepared for the challenges in the IT field! 💚
