Live Labs from CompTIA provide you with a virtual, hands-on environment to practice and apply what they are learning in real time. Instead of just studying theory, you can work through practical scenarios that replicate real-world IT systems, tools, and challenges.

This gives you the chance to build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and gain practical experience without needing expensive equipment or risking mistakes on a live network.

By engaging with Live Labs, students can reinforce their knowledge, prepare more effectively for certification exams, and develop the job-ready skills that employers value.
