The work

A network you cannot prove is a network you hope works

Typing commands is the easy part. Planning the addresses, proving every link with show output, finding faults layer by layer and writing a handover someone else can run from. That is the internship.

  • 1You get a fictional client site with real user groups and host counts
  • 2You plan the subnets by hand and show the maths
  • 3Your mentor reviews every config and asks for the output that proves it
  • 4You hand over the configs, test results and documents on GitHub

How networks work, subnetting and Cisco IOS basics are covered in weeks 1 to 2. You do not need a router, a switch or prior networking experience.

Skills

What you will be able to do after this networking internship

01

Subnetting and VLSM

IPv4 address plans worked out by hand with room to grow, plus IPv6 basics.

02

Cisco IOS

Configuring routers and switches from the command line and saving every config.

03

Switching

VLANs, 802.1Q trunks, inter-VLAN routing, spanning tree, EtherChannel and port security.

04

Routing

Static and default routes, OSPF between sites, reading a routing table, HSRP and a first look at BGP.

05

Network services

DHCP and relay, DNS, NAT and PAT, NTP, SSH and Syslog for a working office.

06

Firewalls and ACLs

Standard and extended ACLs, an OPNsense firewall and a site-to-site VPN in your own lab.

07

Troubleshooting

Finding a fault layer by layer and proving the fix with show output and Wireshark.

08

Monitoring and automation

Linux network commands, Zabbix alerts and Python with Netmiko to back up configs.

Curriculum

The networking internship plan, 3-month version

Four phases. Each one ends in a deliverable that is reviewed and graded before the next opens.

Foundations and switching

How networks work, then your first switched LAN.

  • The OSI and TCP/IP models, and your own traffic in Wireshark
  • IPv4 subnetting and VLSM by hand, with the working shown
  • Cisco IOS basics: a router between two LANs
  • VLANs and 802.1Q trunks for every user group
Deliverable

An addressing plan with the subnet maths shown, and a small office LAN with VLANs proven by show output.

The capstone

Every intern hands over a network a company could run

You design, build and test the whole network of a fictional client and its branch office, with VLANs, OSPF, DHCP, NAT, ACLs and a firewall, then write the handover document a company could run it from.

  • An addressing and VLAN plan with the subnet working shown
  • A test table with show output for every check
  • A handover document with every config and a topology diagram

The Ezitech model

What the networking internship includes

Three things that make this different from a course you watch on a screen.

Client-style projects

You work on projects written for realistic client companies, with deadlines and revision rounds, not recycled practice exercises.

A mentor, not a playlist

Every piece of work is reviewed against written criteria, you can ask your mentor at any time, and other interns are around you to build with.

Portfolio and verified certificate

You finish with work you are allowed to show and a QR-verified certificate that states your track and dates.

And you leave with

  • Verified certificate

    Issued by Ezitech Institute and verifiable by employers.

  • Verified certificate

    A QR code lets anyone confirm your track and dates online.

  • A network handover

    Configs, test results and a handover document for a complete company network.

  • Interview preparation

    CV rewrite, portfolio case study and a technical mock interview.

  • A portfolio you can show

    Every accepted task appears on your public Ezitech profile, under the project it belongs to.

  • Confidence in review

    Month after month of explaining and defending your own work in reviews.

Built for you if

  • You are a student or fresh graduate in CS, IT, telecom or electrical engineering
  • You are happy to learn the command line from the very first command
  • You want to become a network engineer and work towards CCNA
  • You need a final-year project or a portfolio of network labs

Not a fit if

  • You want a certificate without doing the work
  • You cannot work on it most days for the months you choose
  • You expect to configure live company routers instead of building labs
  • You want to skip review and work alone

Contact Ezitech

What does a networking intern do at Ezitech?
A networking intern at Ezitech plans IP addresses, builds and configures switched and routed networks in free virtual labs, proves each one with command output and hands it over on GitHub for mentor review. The sites are fictional clients such as a school, a clinic or a bank branch, and everything runs in your own lab.

Is this a CCNA internship?
Yes, this networking internship follows a CCNA-level path, from subnetting and switching to OSPF, ACLs, firewalls and automation basics, and it ends with CCNA practice questions. The CCNA exam itself is booked separately with Cisco and is not part of the internship.

Do I need my own router or switch?
No, you do not need any hardware: everything runs on free tools such as Cisco Packet Tracer (free with a Cisco Networking Academy account), GNS3, Wireshark, VirtualBox, OPNsense and Zabbix. You never need a paid licence, a cloud account or a card.

Do I need networking experience to join?
No, the track starts from how networks work and subnetting by hand, so complete beginners can join. You should be comfortable using a computer and willing to practise on the command line every week.

Can I do the networking internship remotely?
Yes, you can do the networking internship fully remotely from anywhere in Pakistan, or onsite at the Ezitech office in Rawalpindi. You choose 1 to 6 months, hybrid (onsite in Rawalpindi or remote), and your mentor reviews the same labs and handover in both modes.

Is CCNA enough to get a networking job in Pakistan?
CCNA-level knowledge is a common entry requirement for junior network and NOC roles in Pakistan, but employers also want proof that you can build and fix a network, which is what the labs in this internship give you. Your configs, test tables and handover stay in a public GitHub portfolio you can show in interviews.

Is there a fee, and is the internship paid?
There is a one-time programme fee for the full internship, and there is no stipend. You get a full refund if requested within 7 days of starting; the full rules are on the internship fee and refund policy page.

Does the networking internship guarantee a job?
No, there is no job guarantee. You finish with a portfolio of network labs, a final handover project, CCNA practice and interview preparation for roles such as junior network engineer, NOC technician and IT support engineer.

Who runs this internship?
Ezitech Software House runs it: a software house in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, founded in 2015 and registered with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). Ezitech Software House and Ezitech Institute are the same company. “Ezitech Institute” is the name used for its internships and training. The office is at Office #304-B, Amna Plaza, Main Peshawar Road, Rawalpindi, Punjab 46000, Pakistan.

How do I apply for the networking internship?
Press Apply now on this page, fill in a short form with your name, email, phone, Networking as your field, duration and joining date, then answer a few short questions about yourself. No CV or work experience is needed, and you can start on any day you choose.
