NDG is pleased to announce the following addition to our supported curriculum content options for NETLAB+ VE.

NDG A+ v4 – The A+ certification has been long recognized as the industry standard for anyone interested in establishing a career in IT. This series of labs prepares individuals to take on both technical support and IT operational roles. Learners will develop an understanding of a broad range of topics, including networking, operating systems, security, and mobile devices. 

The A+ v4 labs align to the CompTIA 220-1001 and 220-1002 exams. The goal of this lab library is to provide the NETLAB+ community with additional hands-on resources to complement the content you choose to teach A+ learners. This is an additional resource of lab exercises.

Please see the A+ v4 labs page for details.

We are pleased to make you aware of a new addition to our supported topologies for NETLAB+ VE, the beta release of the Packet Tracer Pod.

The Packet Tracer Pod provides access to a Packet Tracer virtual machine so that your learners with a Google Chromebook or “diskless” workstation can use NETLAB+ to access Packet Tracer. Cisco Packet Tracer is an excellent tool for building the skill sets needed for programming and configuring Cisco routers, switches, and access points. Using NETLAB+, users can access and use Packet Tracer remotely, eliminating the need for learners to install Packet Tracer on their individual devices.

See information on installing the Packet Tracer Pod.

See the Packet Tracer page for documentation resources to guide you in setting up a course in Cisco Netacad, instructions on scheduling a lab session, and guidance on accessing Packet Tracer Workbench from a lab session.

This topology is available to all NETLAB+ customers with a current maintenance agreement who are participants in the Cisco Networking Academy.
