Certify into the 5G role you want. 15 minutes a day.
Pass your certification with short video lessons and hands-on labs built on real traces and configs, and earn a verifiable certificate from TELCOMA Global. RAN, Core, O-RAN and security tracks, without leaving your job.
The first lesson plays with no account. The first module of every course is free once you sign in
Free ends at module 2. The other modules, all full-length practice exams, the troubleshooting labs, TelcoMentor and the certificate exam are Pro.
Start at the foundation. Certify end to end.

What 5G actually changes vs 4G — architecture, spectrum and the core procedures, from first principles.
5G RAN Specialist
The radio access network in depth — ORAN, scheduling, beamforming and QoS, with real traces and configs.
New5G Core & E2E Specialist
Cloud-native core, slicing, security and end-to-end call flow — inspect a live 5G core, not a slide deck.
AI, for people who run networks.
NewAI for Telecom Networks
Where AI already runs in a network — forecasting, anomaly detection, the core’s own analytics, and choosing a first deployment that cannot hurt you.
NewAI-RAN & the AI-Native Network
AI inside the radio itself — the 3GPP hooks that went normative, apps running on live networks, and energy numbers with honest denominators.
The engineers who run the world's networks train with us
A selection of the operators, vendors, integrators, governments and institutes where our learners work.
Get hired. Get promoted. Stay ahead.
Taught by practitioners
Built by engineers who've run real 5G networks, not read spec from a textbook.
A credential anyone can verify
Every course ends in a verifiable TELCOMA certificate — QR-checked, LinkedIn-ready, and earned by engineers in 150+ countries.
Keeps pace with the field
5G SA, ORAN and cloud-native core are added as the industry moves — you certify for the next decade, not the last one.
Stuck mid-video? Ask TelcoMentor.
The only telecom coach that knows your entire course. Ask anything inside any lesson and get an answer grounded in what you're watching — not generic search results.
- Course-awareKnows exactly which lesson you're on and explains from its content.
- 3GPP spec referencesEvery answer cites the relevant specification so you can verify and go deeper.
- Connects the dotsLinks concepts across levels — “this builds on the Core Network module.”
Beamforming focuses energy toward a specific user instead of broadcasting in every direction — same power, concentrated where it's needed.
That's how 5G NR lifts throughput without raising total radiated power. 3GPP TS 38.214
Not another bootcamp certificate.
Pass a course exam to earn a verifiable TELCOMA certificate — QR-checked, publicly verifiable and LinkedIn-ready.
Three steps to a credential that counts.

Pass the exam and earn a QR-verifiable TELCOMA certificate, ready to share on LinkedIn.
Real labs, not slide decks.
You don't learn 5G from bullet points. Hands-on labs drop you into real traces, configs and a live 5G core you can actually poke at.
- Inspect real signalling — PCAPs, call flows and RAN procedures
- Break and fix a live 5G core in a safe sandbox
- TelcoMentor AI coach on call inside every lesson
Tune parameters. Analyze traces. Debug procedures.
Hands-on labs
Link-budget calculators, KPI dashboards, log analysis and capstone troubleshooting.
Live simulations
Tune parameters in real time — propagation models, power control and beam configurators.
Interactive explorations
Tap, toggle and step through animated diagrams, comparisons and call flows.
Smart quizzes
Scenario-based questions with instant feedback and spaced repetition for retention.
We don't just teach 5G — we research it.
Whitepaper Nº02 · PDFOpen RAN in PracticeWhat 2026’s flagship deployments actually tell us — audited against primary sources.Key finding — Top-5 RAN vendors held 96% of the market in 1Q–3Q 2025, up from 95% (Dell'Oro)
Whitepaper Nº06 · PDF5G Security: fixed vs deferredWhat 5G fixed at the interconnect, and the gaps 3GPP itself still calls open.Key finding — Nine 256-bit algorithm specs published, yet zero appear in TS 33.501 (per grep)
Whitepaper Nº08 · PDF5G from orbit — NTN & D2DHow 3GPP took NR to satellites, and the direct-to-device race to reach phones.Key finding — 541.46 ms — max round trip on a transparent GEO path (3GPP TR 38.821)
Whitepaper Nº12 · PDFThe road to WRC-27How ITU-R, 3GPP and WRC-27 together decide 6G — and why spectrum is the hard part.Key finding — IMT-2030 (ITU-R M.2160) defines 6 usage scenarios and 15 capabilitiesQuestions, answered.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The first module of every certification course is free — the first lesson needs no account at all, the rest just a free sign-in. So are the 20-question mock exam, our articles, glossary and tools. No payment details needed. Pro unlocks every certification course on the site, including the ones we add next, plus interactive labs, TelcoMentor, the full-length practice exams and the verifiable certificate — backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your dashboard in one click. You keep full access until the end of your billing period. No questions asked, no retention calls.
How is this different from YouTube tutorials?
YouTube teaches you to recognize concepts. 5G/6G Academy teaches you to apply them. You tune real parameters, analyze actual protocol traces, debug failed procedures, and solve engineering problems. Plus TelcoMentor answers your questions grounded in the exact lesson you're on — not generic internet answers.
Are the TELCOMA certifications recognized?
Yes. TELCOMA Global has been training telecom professionals since 2009 across 150+ countries. Every certification includes a QR code that employers can scan to verify authenticity in real time.
What if I get stuck on a concept?
That's exactly what TelcoMentor is for. Every lesson has a built-in AI coach that knows your curriculum and explains concepts using your lesson content — with 3GPP specification references so you can verify and go deeper.
Do I need prior telecom experience?
No. The entry course assumes no prior telecom knowledge — it starts from what actually happens when you make a call and builds up — and the path takes you through the radio network, the core, security and the road to 6G. The first module of every course is free, so you can check the level before paying anything.
