What do I need to get started with the Labs?
The labs are self-contained "sandbox" environments for you to access. You DO NOT need your own Linux servers or any other pre-requisites to access the labs.
Upon enrolling in a lab package, within a short time (typically less than 1 hour), you will be provided login credentials and further information on how to access the Skillable Challenge Labs platform and start your labs.

Do I pay for the resources used in the labs?
No!
Using your own or company Linux systems to practice in can get very expensive, especially doing advanced labs with lots of different hosts. With these challenge labs, there are no additional costs to you for the resources used within the Skillable challenge lab.
Students often find the sandboxed challenge lab environments save them a lot of money in the long run by not needing special server and networking configurations in place to perform the labs.
