There are many advantages for students in a class with remote labs:

Access 24-hours to the Labs — Students with in-class equipment lose access to the labs at the end of class each day. With remote labs, students can dial in during the evenings to practice the techniques they learned earlier in the day.

Reliability of Equipment — During shipment, it is not uncommon for equipment to arrive damaged or late, compromising the in-class lab experience. Remote labs ensure that equipment is reliably available and in good working order for each and every class.

Real-World Scenario — In many work situations, technical staff do not have direct access to the equipment they are working on. With tighter security becoming more common, physical equipment is often located behind locked doors. And with increased networking, it is no longer necessary for a technician to be onsite for network management and troubleshooting. Accessing the equipment remotely from the classroom creates a real-world scenario where the professional performs all diagnostics and accesses all information via their PC.

Improved Classroom Learning Environment — Many students attending a class with remote labs have also commented on the cleaner classroom environment, minus the equipment, crates, and mass of cables. Students can better focus on the instructor and course material without the distractions of the equipment obstacle course all around them.

Best Experiences:

• "Doing the remote access to the switches and routers."
• "Proximity (location), free parking, facilities, but most importantly the remote lab. Saved tons of time."
• "Excellent instructor! The modified lab using remote lab equipment was fantastic. I've taken other courses from other providers, and none compare to this one. This is the first course where equipment problems did not plague the course and the labs. Thank you!"
