Hands-on labs
Every lab is a safe, isolated and legal environment created for training. You build real skill on systems you are explicitly allowed to test, which is exactly how the profession works.
Environments
From guided exercises to full corporate networks. Which ones you get depends on your plan.
Guided exercises for every module.
Each course module comes with exercises in a private lab. Work through them at your own pace and check your progress as you go.
Included in: Certification, Pro, Unlimited
Standalone machines for independent practice.
A growing library of standalone lab machines from easy to insane. New machines arrive every month and each one is tagged by track and difficulty.
Included in: Labs, Pro, Unlimited
Realistic corporate networks.
Multi-segment networks modelled on real organisations, with directory services, cloud-connected identity and monitoring. Built for longer, objective-based practice.
Included in: Pro, Unlimited
Rehearse the real thing.
Timed mock exams that match each credential's format, length and scoring, so exam day holds no surprises.
Included in: Certification, Pro, Unlimited
How access works
No server setup and no risk to your own computer.
Work in your browser with nothing to install, or connect over VPN from your own machine if you prefer your own setup.
Every learner gets a private copy of each lab. Nobody else can see or affect your work.
Launch a lab when you are ready and shut it down when you are done. Your progress is kept for next time.
Everything in the labs is built for training and runs in isolation. Nothing here is aimed at systems you do not own, and the courses teach authorised, professional practice throughout.
