Dear colleagues, We're pleased to announce the return of the RIPE NCC Academy Summer School, a special learning campaign running throughout July and August. The RIPE NCC Academy is the RIPE NCC's learning platform, offering free e-learning courses, certification exams and professional development opportunities in Internet operations and RIPE NCC services. All courses are available free of charge to both RIPE NCC members and non-members. During the Summer School, you can complete one of our e-learning courses and request a free exam voucher. Use the voucher to take the certification exam of your choice and earn a digitally verifiable badge recognising your achievement. Getting started is easy: simply create a RIPE NCC Academy account, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and begin learning. As an added bonus, the first 50 learners who pass an exam will receive a RIPE NCC Academy water bottle. Request your free exam voucher and complete your certification exam by 31 August 2026.
