Cisco Lab Practice Bundle Offer

Practice advanced network configuration and management techniques with access to the Cisco Lab Practice Bundle. Using the latest Cisco technologies in a dedicated practice lab environment, authorised users can build and test new solutions and recreate and resolve complex technical issues without affecting “live” systems at their place of work.

The Cisco Lab Practice Bundle is ideal for corporate IT departments who need a cost-effective test system that can be used by all their network engineers and technicians to develop and sharpen their networking and security skills with a view to helping them become more effective in their roles or to assist with network upgrade and development projects.

The Practice Lab gives students access to dedicated Cisco resources where they can practice and improve their skills, making it perfect for:

• Trainee network engineers who need hardware and iOS resources to practice their skills without affecting “live” corporate systems.
• IT administrators who need to practice system upgrades, configuration changes or test new Cisco hardware and firmware updates before deployment in a live environment.
• Project managers and engineers who need to accurately model a new branch network deployment or similar prior to making similar changes to a production system.
• IT professionals who are working towards Cisco CCNA and CCNP qualifications and who need to practice the scenarios documented in the courseware.
• Engineers who need a “safe” environment in which to sharpen their networking skills, or to meet their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) targets.
• Persons looking to develop new networking skills to improve their on-the-job performance or to facilitate a move into IT network administration.

The Practice Labs are an essential tool for students, allowing them to develop and test their knowledge and skills. Courseware end of unit tests also help to identify topics that require additional study. The Practice Labs are a dedicated Cisco networking resource that allows students to complete practice exercises and test their skills without the need to invest in a costly test lab of their own.

In addition to the test lab environment, the Cisco Lab Practice bundle allows all employees access to a selection of valuable courseware to provide focus and direction for their sessions. Students will be able to study towards several CCNA and CCNP qualifications, providing focus for their use of the Practice Labs.
