Why this program matters

  • DNS outages cause up to 40% of network service interruptions according to recent studies.

  • Without mastery, companies suffer costly slowdowns and exploitable security vulnerabilities.

  • Untrained teams waste time on repetitive incidents and see their professional credibility decline.

  • Not taking this training exposes organizations to operational risks and lasting competitive lag against organizations that have invested in these skills.

Program

DNS curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction to DNS and Name Resolution (dig, nslookup tools, practical cases)

Participants discover the principles of DNS, its role in modern networks, and resolution mechanisms. They explore basic records with tools like dig and nslookup, perform practical exercises on simple zones, and analyze real business cases to understand the impact on connectivity.

Module 2 : Theme: DNS Server Configuration (BIND, PowerDNS, remote deployments)

The day focuses on installing and configuring DNS servers. Learners deploy BIND and PowerDNS in a remote environment, create primary and secondary zones, test propagation, and deliver a functional configuration validated by realistic enterprise infrastructure scenarios.

Module 3 : Theme: DNS and Network Security (Firewall, VPN, advanced protections)

This session integrates DNS with security devices. Participants configure Firewall rules, set up VPN tunnels, and apply protections against DNS attacks. They perform practical exercises on business cases and produce a complete security report.

Module 4 : Theme: DNS Optimization and Troubleshooting (monitoring tools, audit deliverables)

Learners optimize DNS performance, implement monitoring, and resolve common incidents. They conduct a complete infrastructure audit, propose concrete improvements, and deliver an action plan adapted to their company's professional needs.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your DNS training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
