Because many IT jobs take place at the virtual level (i.e. behind a keyboard and mouse), the experience you’ll gain through a practice lab is very similar to experience you’ll gain in the workplace. Consequently many employers regard practice lab experience as a valued asset on a CV.

The hands-on live practice labs allow you to experience practical application of course concepts in authentic environments without purchasing expensive software or equipment. These lab environments allow you to try out your new skills as you learn. Access is simple. There is no need to visit a lab center. All practice labs can be accessed online from the comfort of your home or office 24/7, 365 days a year.
