Training built for the work MSP technicians actually do.
Your technicians support different clients, different environments and a long list of tools. Generic IT training doesn't reflect that. gr0wpath lets you select the tools your MSP actually uses, so people see training for your stack and vendor-neutral fundamentals, not a catalogue of products you've never deployed.
Pick from tools like
- NinjaOne
- ConnectWise PSA and Automate
- HaloPSA
- Autotask PSA
- Datto RMM and BCDR
- Microsoft 365
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Microsoft Intune
- Ubiquiti UniFi
- Fortinet FortiGate
- Proxmox VE
- Veeam
- Bitwarden
- IT Glue
- Hudu
And more across RMM, PSA, networking, virtualization, backup, security, identity and documentation. Product training appears only for the tools you tick; where a product has no dedicated course yet, people still get the vendor-neutral training for that kind of tool.
How it works for an MSP
Start with what they already know
Assess first. Experienced technicians demonstrate what they know, and anyone who passes a course's final exam completes the course without sitting through it, so their time goes on their actual gaps.
Train for roles, not just topics
A job offers several roles, and each role can require its own skills. Someone can be Service Desk Level 2 and your Microsoft 365 Administrator, and get the training and readiness checks for both.
Test troubleshooting, not memorization
Scenarios put people in realistic tickets: gather the facts, decide what to check next, and explain the fix. Supervisors review the written answers that need judgment.
Match training to your stack
Tick the RMM, PSA, firewall, backup and identity products you run. Employees only see product training for those tools.
See the gaps across the whole MSP
Team heatmaps show strengths and gaps by person and skill. A dependency list flags skills where only one person is proven, so one technician isn't quietly carrying knowledge nobody else has.
What your technicians practise
Real courses and scenarios from the library, by the kind of work. Each course page shows its outline, the skills it covers and the vendor documentation it's written from.
RMM
Remote support through the RMM, policies and patching across customers, and working out why an agent stopped checking in.
- Tactical RMM: remote support, troubleshooting and server care
- RMM concepts and everyday NinjaOne workflows
- N-able N-central: customers, rules, service templates and patching
Scenarios: “Backups stopped after patch night”
PSA and the service desk
Service boards, agreements and time entry, email-to-ticket rules that misfire, and triaging a queue when SLAs are about to breach.
- ConnectWise PSA: service boards, agreements and time
- HaloPSA: mailboxes, email rules and fixing email processing
- Autotask PSA: incoming email, workflow rules and ticket merges
Scenarios: “Two tickets about to breach”, “Multiple simultaneous tickets”
Microsoft 365
Sign-in and MFA methods, Entra roles and hybrid identity, Intune enrollment and Autopilot, and OneDrive sync problems.
- Authentication methods, strength and recovery
- Microsoft Entra ID administration: privileged roles, apps and hybrid identity
- Intune enrollment and Windows Autopilot for administrators
- OneDrive sync troubleshooting
Scenarios: “Microsoft 365 keeps asking one user to sign in”, “New laptop gets no apps or Wi-Fi profile”, “Outlook takes three minutes to open”
OPNsense and firewalls
Rules, aliases and NAT, configuration backups and restores, and finding a rule nobody can explain.
- pfSense and OPNsense: rules, aliases, NAT, backups and updates
- OPNMGR configuration backups, drift and restores in depth
Scenarios: “An unexplained RDP rule on a dental clinic's firewall”
Proxmox VE
VMs, containers and bridge networking, storage and snapshots, clusters and quorum, and vzdump and Proxmox Backup Server.
- Proxmox VE: VMs, LXC containers and bridge networking
- Proxmox VE: nodes, clusters, quorum and high availability
- Proxmox VE: backups with vzdump and Proxmox Backup Server, and safe updates
Scenarios: “Backups failing: the PBS datastore is full”
Networking
DHCP scopes and relays, DNS with dig and nslookup, VLANs and Wi-Fi, and the VPN that connects but reaches nothing.
- DHCP troubleshooting: scopes, leases and relay
- DNS troubleshooting with dig and nslookup
- UniFi troubleshooting from the knowledge base: offline devices, Wi-Fi problems, VLAN paths and loops
Scenarios: “The new guest VLAN hands out nothing”, “Printers stop working after a switch change”, “VPN connected, but no file shares”
Backup and recovery
Failed jobs and guest processing, verified backups and offsite sync, and the restore test that fails even though the backups say success.
- Veeam in practice: guest processing, transport modes and troubleshooting failed jobs
- Datto BCDR in practice: troubleshooting backups, screenshots, offsite sync and devices
- Datto BCDR: verified backups, offsite sync and recovery
Scenarios: “Backup reports success but restore fails”, “The quarterly restore test fails”
Security troubleshooting
EDR policies and detections, MFA fatigue and token theft, ransomware readiness, and the caller who says they're from Microsoft.
- Endpoint protection fundamentals: antivirus, EDR and safe policy management
- Identity security: defending against MFA fatigue and token theft
- Ransomware readiness for a small office
Scenarios: “Firewall detections went quiet”, “Ransomware on the file server: can we restore?”, “'Microsoft' called and has a code”
