Become aCertified 5G Professional.
RAN, Core and the road to 6G. Certified course by course, with a credential employers can verify.
The flagship 5G career path — a stack of certification courses, each separately certified. Watch working engineers build 5G from first principles to the road to 6G, every concept grounded in 3GPP specs.
Taught by engineers who have run live networks, and certified by TELCOMA Global, training telecom engineers since 2009. Every certificate carries a verification number an employer can check.
One path, stacked certificates
Built and certified as a stack — earn each certificate, then the roll-up credential. Follow it ~12 weeks at 15–20 minutes a day.

TELCOMA Certified 5G Professional
Pass the exam at the end of each video course and you earn that course’s certificate — verifiable, QR-checkable by an employer, and yours to keep. Work through the path and you collect the full set.
More specialist certifications on the way
The catalogue grows, and every future course is included in Pro at no extra cost. Beyond the flagship path, 14 more specialist certifications are in production — each a focused, standards-aligned course that stacks onto your 5G foundation. Four land every month, starting August 2026.
