Supplemental Assets

Mentoring: Mentors are available to help you with your studies for the certification exams. You can reach them by entering a Mentored Chat Room or by using the Email My Mentor service.

Class Notes / Study Guides: Printable study guide and class notes are intended to support your transfer of knowledge and skills from courses to the workplace. Use these to follow along with instruction, review prior to certification exams, or to reference on the job.

Test Prep Exams: Practice tests will help you prepare for a certification exam. You can take a test prep exam in Study Mode (where you receive feedback after each question) or in Certification Mode (designed to mimic a certification exam) as many times as you want.

Lab Simulations: Task-based multipath scenarios provide realistic practice of technology subjects or applications.
