And above all you will get more hands on than you thought possible, lots of break / fix scenarios, once you have completed the labs exercises faults will be introduced into the lab for you to fix, we are the only training school to do this, why, because as engineers we will show you real-life faults that we see in the real world and then you have to fix them.
