A FULL LETTER GRADE AND THE CONFIDENCE TO EXCEL IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET, HOW'S THAT FOR A DIFFERENCE



Better Grades

Studies show that students who participate in hybrid classes that use technology, like LabSim, scored a full grade higher than their counterparts who only participated in classroom instruction. Simply put, LabSim will help you learn concepts faster and retain that information better, thus providing you with a competitive advantage in the job market.

The LabSim IT training courses will assist you in being fully prepared to pass industry certification exams. Industry certifications, in addition to your diploma, provide you with a number of benefits:
  • Shows that you have the knowledge and skills to succeed in an IT career
  • Provides credentials that are recognized around the world
  • Adds credibility to additional accomplishments on your resume
  • Signifies the determination to advance in an IT career
  • Demonstrates that you are keeping up with the latest IT technologies

LabSim gives you:

Hands-on Experience
LabSim provides robust, online labs that allow you to learn tasks in a fully operational simulation. LabSim’s online labs give you a wealth of opportunities to get valuable hands-on experience with hundreds of hardware, software and networking labs.

Skill Mastery
Learning is doing, and the only way to master a skill is through practical application. The online labs in LabSim give you the tools you need to truly master essential skills. And learning correctly means allowing you to make mistakes; which is why we developed online labs that allow you to experience a virtual environment where you can explore all the functionality of the application you’re learning.

Instructor Videos Clarify Concepts
Instructor videos don’t replace in-class instruction; rather they supplement it by allowing you the chance to review information on your own. LabSim’s instructor videos greatly enhance your ability to learn and retain new concepts and review critical information multiple times.

The instructor videos:
  • Let you review concepts outside of the classroom
  • Engage you with slides, graphics, and demonstrations
  • Explain complex concepts in a personable, easy to understand way
  • Supplement in-class lectures with concise and accurate content

Practice Exams Validate Knowledge

Practice exams allow you to validate your knowledge in real-time. You get immediate feedback about competency in each area. If you lack understanding of a concept, you are directed to the location of that material so you can immediately increase your study in the area you are deficient. Practice exams are also a great tool to prepare you for certification exams.

The practice exams
  • Measure knowledge, skills, and level of preparedness
  • Give detailed feedback for each quiz and exam question
  • Link back to course content for additional study and review
  • Prepare you to pass the industry certification exams

Easy Access

LabSim allows you to login and learn - any time, from anywhere - and facilitates different learning styles so you can better understand and retain the ideas being taught more effectively.

    • What They're Saying About LabSim

    “We’re an online school and we have students all over the United States. Imagine going into a hardware class that is taking place online and asking them to take their computer apart. I can’t get it back together, they complain, but they can’t reach me because their computer is down. LabSim gives us this virtual world where we can simulate configuring software or simulate configuring a router, or building a router. Another great benefit is that the student can do them more than once and LabSim keeps track of all their scores and they know right up front how well they’ve done.”
