FAQ
How does the 24/7 lab access and renewal work?
You get instant access to the virtual lab environment 24/7 upon enrollment. If you need more time to complete the labs, you can instantly and easily extend or renew your lab access at any time through your student dashboard. If your expiry date is passed your configurations will be lost.
When my devices configurations will be lost?
When you do not save your configuration on devices, and when your expiry date is passed. Your configuration will not be lost if your keep saving your configuration on devices and your expiry time is still left within the expiry date. Note: You can extend your lab hours and expiry date at any time.
What kind of support can I expect if I get stuck?
We provide multiple layers of support. You can get help from lab course instructor (with limited 1-on-1 availability), use L1 technical support via email for lab setup or connectivity issues, and collaborate with peers in the exclusive course forum.
Is the lab environment safe and isolated?
Absolutely. The course begins with setting up a completely isolated virtual lab using Kali Linux. All attacks are performed within this self-contained environment, ensuring no harm is done to real-world systems or networks.
Do I need to purchase any software, like Kali Linux?
No. All necessary software, including Kali Linux and other freeware tools, is provided. Any required trial licenses for specific lab exercises are also included as part of your enrollment.
What will I receive after completing the course?
Upon successful completion, you will receive a verifiable Course Certificate to showcase your practical skills. You will also retain lifetime access to the lab workbook for future reference, even after your lab runtime ends.
