FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can we get labs running for a course?

Most courses are live the same day. Pick a pre-built lab template (or share your own environment requirements), upload your roster, and CloudLabs provisions an isolated environment for every learner, with no infrastructure work on your side.

Which cloud platforms and courses are supported?

CloudLabs runs labs on Azure, AWS, and GCP, with a wide catalog covering Microsoft Official Courses, cloud certifications, Check Point, and more. Custom environments can be built to match your curriculum.

Can students access labs from off campus?

Yes. Labs are fully browser-based, so the same setup works for classroom, remote, and hybrid delivery. Students only need a link and a login; no local installs or VPNs.

How do instructors track student progress?

Integrated dashboards give instructors real-time visibility into who has started, who is stuck, and how environments are being used, with built-in monitoring and reporting across the whole cohort.

How does pricing work for academic institutions?

Pricing is transparent and usage-based, with academic terms designed to scale with enrolment. Auto-shutdown and usage caps keep consumption predictable, so departmental budgets stay under control.

What support do we get during rollout?

Every institution gets dedicated onboarding support, from configuring your first course to training instructors, plus ongoing support for every cohort after that.
