vLabs allow learners to utilize a live, dedicated environment to configure, control and trouble shoot actual equipment such as servers, routers, and switches in real time. This enables learners to improve their learning and retention of skills in a comprehensive manner at their own pace and time in a dedicated learning environment. Learners also have the ability to break vLabs into as many sessions as needed while the Learning Management System - KnowledgeHub, tracks the allocation of session hours and dynamically calculates the remaining hours.
LearnOnline vLabs are provided by eCompany's strategic partner Element K Middle East. With the new vLabs, learners will have the option to select specific libraries of labs to match their interests such as A+, Security+, Microsoft advanced IT certifications such as MCSA and MCSE and Cisco certifications such as CCNA, , BSCI, BCRAN, BCMSN and CIT. Currently, learners purchase vLabs separately and in the near future vLabs will be bundled with IT certification courses.
Abdulla Hashim, Senior Manager, eCompany, welcomed the vLab service into LearnOnline and said: "The pace of change in development of IT hardware and the demand for mission-ready network engineers has created a need for constant training and certification. Skills and experience based training through vLabs develop the necessary hands-on skills while giving students confidence to face real situations and raises overall certification scores."
Susan Bodinson, General Manager, Element K Middle East, added "This is a significant enhancement to the already wide range of content available on the LearnOnline site. Now users will users be able to get the latest in IT training as well as practice what they have learned on actual hardware. This offering is the first of its kind in the Middle East region."
