CompTIA Server+ Certification is gaining in popularity as a required technical standard as increasing numbers of OEMs, including DELL, HP and IBM, mandate Server+ for their reseller channels. In response to this growing demand, gtslearning has today launched CompTIA Server+ LabSim, providing a powerful self paced learning solution for technicians wishing to prepare for the certification in a blended learning environment.

gtslearning, a London-based learning solutions company, is the number one world-wide provider of learning content that prepares for CompTIA certifications. gtslearning also internationally distributes the unique LabSim self-paced learning portfolio from TestOut Corporation.

CompTIA Server+ Certification validates the knowledge and skills of advanced IT technicians. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification for individuals with 18-24 months of experience with Industry Standard Server Architecture (ISSA) technology. It has been widely adopted by the major computer industry OEMs and vendors for their technical staff and reseller channels.

LabSim includes self-paced CBT content with unique simulation technology for nine key certifications from CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft and Novell.

Each LabSim product enables students to fast-track their technology skills through:

  • Learning: Video-based instruction covers the certification content

  • Practicing: Powerful, user-friendly simulations help students practice their skills in a secure, real-life environment and save on valuable learning resources

  • Testing: Extensive practice tests are provided to offer guidance to the student or to simulate the real certification exam

  • Administration Reporting: Full tracking and reporting on student learning progress by individual, class or company

  • Each LabSim product is supplied with a student lab manual which serves as additional reference material and facilitates ‘standalone’ study, enabling LabSim to be delivered as a true blended learning package.
    LabSim is a proven technology used by commercial and academic education leaders worldwide as well as individuals pursuing IT certifications. First-time pass rates are in excess of 86% for students using LabSim products.*
    Robin Adda, Managing Director of gtslearning, commented:

    “CompTIA’s Server+ Certification has grown and matured into one of the most important qualifications for networking experts. It has traditionally been costly to deliver due to the extensive equipment requirements, now our LabSim product offers a cost-effective way of getting true anytime, anywhere access to high-quality content for Server+.

    “LabSim is also a proven way of successfully preparing for IT certifications and we believe it offers the best blend of pedagogically-sound study and simulated practice for Server+ – the tools that students need for that important first-time pass and resellers need to comply with vendor manifests”.
