Labs are practised on Cisco delivered Virtual lab environment. Classrooms are equipped with high-performance computers with Internet access and the possibility of wireless connection. Students will have a total of 60 hours lab access to use over a period of 180 days this includes access during the actual class.

All participants will get original student and lab guides.
