Access

How the labs work in practice

The questions applicants ask most often, answered before you apply.

Nothing to install

Every lab runs in the browser. A mid-range laptop and a stable connection are enough — no virtualisation software, no licences, no hardware of your own.

Isolated by design

Ranges are air-gapped from production and from each other. Offensive exercises are authorised, contained, and cannot reach any live system inside or outside the programme.

Open outside class hours

Environments stay available around the clock so trainees can practise around study and work commitments rather than only during scheduled sessions.

Assessed, not attended

Each module closes with a scored practical exercise inside the lab. Progression depends on completing the work, not on sitting a multiple-choice quiz.
