DNS curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Topic: Introduction to DNS and Name Resolution (Tools, Methods, Deliverables)

Participants discover how DNS works, record types, and the name resolution process. Through practical exercises using tools such as dig and nslookup, they analyze real queries and identify DNS flows. The day includes concrete business cases and concludes with a simple DNS mapping deliverable.

Module 2 : Topic: DNS Server and Zone Configuration (Tools, Methods, Deliverables)

This day focuses on installing and configuring DNS servers. Learners create primary and secondary zones and manage A, MX, and CNAME records. Practical workshops on BIND and Windows DNS enable deployment of a functional server, with a validated configuration deliverable.

Module 3 : Topic: DNS and TCP/IP & Network Integration (Tools, Methods, Deliverables)

Participants connect DNS to TCP/IP, VPN, and Firewall concepts. They configure secure resolutions, analyze firewall interactions, and set up redirections for remote access. Concrete business scenarios result in a complete network integration diagram deliverable.

Module 4 : Topic: DNS Security and Best Practices (Tools, Methods, Deliverables)

The final day covers securing DNS against common attacks. Learners deploy DNSSEC, filter queries, and audit their configuration. Practical exercises with monitoring tools and an incident response plan lead to a secure DNS policy deliverable for the enterprise.

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.
