Master your craft with Challenge Labs

The online courses will be delivered through a combination of theory, recommended readings, quizzes, and virtual labs. The courses are designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience that combines both theoretical and practical components. The theory and recommended readings will be delivered through a series of online modules that students can access at their convenience. These modules will cover a range of topics related to the course content, including concepts, tools, and techniques. The quizzes will help students assess their understanding of the material and identify areas where they may need additional support.

The virtual labs will provide an opportunity for students to apply the theoretical concepts they have learned in a practical setting. These labs will require students to set up a virtual environment on their local device, which will allow them to practice using the tools and techniques covered in the course. Each course provides comprehensive written guidance on how to complete each lab, ensuring that students have the necessary resources to succeed.

Overall, the course is designed to be flexible and accessible, allowing students to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. If you have any questions about the course format or the course content, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

The primary mode of support given to students in this course will be through forum discussions. 

Students are encouraged to seek assistance from their peers through the forums. While there may be limited one-on-one support available, the forums provide an excellent opportunity for students to collaborate and learn from each other. It is important for students to actively engage with the course materials and seek help from the available resources in order to succeed in this course.
