About This Event

AFRINIC, the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, runs an annual call for local hosts, partnering with organisations across Africa to deliver in-person technical training and certification events. Over the past 20 years, more than 40 organisations across the continent have partnered with AFRINIC through this program to build technical skills and advance Internet infrastructure development.

In 2026, TENET is proud to host AFRINIC's IPv6 training in Cape Town, in collaboration with HEITSA, bringing this internationally recognised certification programme to South Africa's research and education community.

TENET is committed to strengthening the technical capacity of the universities and research institutions we serve, and to prepare their network engineers to design, deploy, and manage the next generation of IPv6-enabled infrastructure.

What You Will Learn

• IPv6 fundamentals: why IPv6, how it differs from IPv4, and the global transition context
• IPv6 addressing and subnetting
• IPv6 routing and protocols
• Planning and deploying IPv6 in an operational network
• Dual-stack implementation and IPv6 transition mechanisms
• IPv6 security considerations
• Hands-on lab exercises leading to certification

Who Should Attend

This event is designed for network engineers and ICT professionals with a working knowledge of networking and IPv4. Participants must be able to commit to all four full days and complete the certification exam.

The certification exam fee will be sponsored, the first time it is taken; however, travel and accommodation costs are the delegate's responsibility.

This is a rare opportunity for South African technical professionals to gain world-class IPv6 training.

Please do not book travel until you have received confirmation from TENET that your registration to attend has been approved.
