Microsoft Learning Releases Labs Online Training Product.

On January 15th, Microsoft Learning released their Labs Online training product.

This is great news for any Microsoft training partner (CPLS) for many reasons, several of which are highlighted in the summary below…

“The Benefits of Labs Online for Training Partners:

• Reduce training delivery costs

Microsoft Learning Labs Online greatly reduce time spent on setting up labs and downloading lab images, giving you a chance to better utilize staff and instructors’ time. In addition, expensive hardware is not required to run Labs Online – reducing hardware upgrade costs and initial set-up costs of building new classrooms or training centers.
• Increase sales potential by enabling distance learning

With Microsoft Learning Labs Online, you are no longer restricted to delivering training in physical classrooms– extend training offerings to virtual classrooms and expand your customer base.

• Realize greater flexibility through on-demand service

As an on-demand service, Microsoft Learning Labs Online gives you the flexibility to add students any time before a class starts with minimal effort to install additional labs. Instructors may test labs and prepare for training anytime, anywhere. Students can access labs outside of class time up to four weeks to reinforce classroom learning.

Labs Online is a product line that the folks in Microsoft Learning are quite excited about and we hope you share our excitement. We are already hard at work in creating the next release of Labs Online.”

IT Training Solutions’ General Manager, Curtis Chappell, has been appointed as a member of the Microsoft Lab Advisory Council. Curtis comments, “ITTS has been at the forefront of implementing distance learning in Australia, and Labs Online allows us the flexibility to deliver courses across the country and region. This will be of real value to our clients in remote areas. From a business management perspective, these hosted labs will save us from having to invest in 64-bit equipment in our classrooms!”
