A CBT course contains Flash-based lessons and a virtual machine that you can use to perform lab exercises. The virtual machine enables you to perform "destructive" lab exercises without altering your system configuration.

Because our CBTs are intended to be self-paced instructional packages that you can start and stop at your convenience, no instructor interaction is provided with this delivery method. If you want to have an instructor available to answer any questions you have as you complete a course, you might prefer attending one of our instructor-led courses.

Our CBT courses are delivered via DVD and/or downloadable files. The CBTs run on your local system without modifying your existing configuration.
