“Providing technical training to people scattered over diverse geographical locations is difficult to do using a standard web meeting. Ready Tech enhances the online training experience by making it more interactive and does not let the trainee or the trainer feel the absence of physical classroom.”

Learn about Virtual IT Labs

Virtual IT Labs FAQ.

Answers to common questions about browser-based virtual IT labs, hosting options, and support.

What are virtual IT labs?

Virtual IT labs are remote training environments that give learners hands-on access to software, systems, and technical environments through a browser. They let learners practice real tasks while instructors monitor progress and provide remote support.

Do we have to move or rebuild our labs to use ReadyTech?

No. ReadyTech supports multiple lab options, including your existing infrastructure, learner computers, AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and ReadyTech-hosted environments.

Do students have to download and install software or use browser extensions?

No. Students and instructors access ReadyTech through a browser. No browser plug-ins are required.

Can instructors see what students are doing and take control?

Yes. Instructors can view learner labs from Lab Overview in real time and take control when assistance is needed.

Do you require VPN, RDP, or VNC?

No. HyperView provides secure browser-based access using firewall-friendly connections without requiring learners to connect directly through VPN, RDP, or VNC.

What about security and compliance?

In-House Labs and Local Labs keep systems and training data inside your organization's or learner's network, rather than moving the environment to a third-party cloud.

Are there long-term commitments?

No. ReadyTech does not require long-term contracts. We offer month-to-month subscriptions and pay-as-you-go options.

What support is included?

ReadyTech provides onboarding during and after the free trial and live support for customers, instructors, and learners.
