Introduction

Are you looking for:

• certification practice tests;
• life-like lab simulations (without the need for classroom
• setup or availability);
• interactive video-based self-paced study materials;
• all for a wide range of IT professional qualifications?

The range LabSim products offers these key features and are directly mapped to test objectives for key IT certifications (including Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA exams).

Each LabSim CBT includes user-friendly life-like simulation exercises, extensive practice tests and video-based instruction.

The range is provided on CD with a comprehensive lab manual, and requires Internet activation for a full 12 months access to the product, including full student progress tracking.

Components:
Each LabSim product includes the following core components:

• CourseSim - video-based multimedia instruction
• LabSim - hand-on, lab simulations
• ExamSim - examination preparation
• Comprehensive printed lab manual

Student tracking is also included with each LabSim product.

CourseSim

CourseSim is a comprehensive learning tool that is aligned with vendor-developed certification objectives. The CourseSim CBT learning materials integrate multimedia technologies, applied simulation technologies, instructional animations and technical graphic images. CourseSim seamlessly integrates with the LabSim and ExamSim products, providing an unbeatable learning experience for you.

Video instruction
Video instruction with a certified instructor is at the heart of CourseSim. The instructor introduces every module and previews the topics that are covered. The video presentations provide an effective summary of the concepts that will be learned with CourseSim.

Fact sheets
Fact sheets present useful tables and supplemental information to help you review key concepts and to complete each section.

Instructional graphics
A picture can speak a thousand words. Difficult concepts are presented in animated or graphical form to make learning easier for you.

Technical glossary
A searchable database of technical terms and definitions provides instant access to their meanings.
The technical glossary helps to demystify information technology.

Bookmarks
Bookmarks are a useful aid for you, enabling you to keep track of your learning. They are also useful if you need to go back to a particular topic that needs special attention.

Notepad
The useful notepad feature can be used to record notes and questions for later reference.

LabSim

LabSim allows you to simulate hardware, operating systems and network configurations on your computer without the need of additional hardware or software. It is like having an interactive learning lab, without the expensive setup costs. LabSim is the highest quality simulation product for IT certifications that is currently
available.

Demonstrations
Demonstrations will show you how to perform certain tasks. They are powerful instructional tools, especially when combined with real world practice.

Real-world scenarios
Scenarios require you to think through a difficult problem that they are likely to encounter in the 'real-world'. This will help you to grow your troubleshooting skills.

Intelligent simulations
Open simulations are critical to the learning process and serve the same purpose as normal classroom lab
sessions. By simulating real hardware and software on screen, you can perform the same tasks as you
would on a real system. You can explore alternative solutions for completing a task, rather than being guided through specific steps, and can see the consequences of specific actions. These simulations help you learn the correct approach through trial and error without risk.

Detailed reporting
Once you have completed an assigned task, a detailed report identifies the critical tasks that have been completed and those that have been missed.

Explanation and expert steps.
Further help is also available through 'expert steps'. These take you 'step-by-step' through an assigned task to help clarify understanding.

ExamSim

ExamSim software will give you 'real-life' experience of certification exams. With the same 'look and feel' as the live exams, ExamSim is critical to assessing the practical knowledge of exam objectives and concepts. Each title is provided with hundreds of randomised practice questions to cover all certification exam topics.

Test preparation advice
Expert advice will help you to prepare for certification exams. Tips and techniques will guide you to exam success.

Review questions
Hundreds of questions similar to those in the real exam will help you prepare for certification. Questions are organised by objective, making them a useful practice tool whilst learning.

Typical exams
Typical exams will simulate the real certification exam in format, content, objective weighting and time. This test will help you gauge your readiness to take the actual test. On completion, detailed reporting simulates the test vendor's exam reports. These will help you to understand whether you've missed objectives or answered a question incorrectly.
