Microsoft Online Learning courses accommodate many learning styles and preferences allowing individuals to easily increase their skills the way they prefer. Courses utilise activities, exercises and games.

Many courses also include hands-on virtual labs that allow practice in a safe Microsoft-hosted real environment (rather than simulations). So you remotely access and work on a real computer with Microsoft technologies to give you the opportunity to practice the skills you have learned in your course.

The virtual machines are capable of running any x86 based operating system and can be networked together using virtual networks so that the lab scenarios provided will adequately prepare you for what you may encounter in the real world.
