Empowering Training Experiences

The kind of learning that builds job-ready skills

TestOut’s mission is to make a difference in students’ lives by developing their  technology skills in a flexible, friction-free way that maximizes learning.

TestOut Hybrid Server Pro: Core features a simulated Windows Server 2022 and Azure Cloud server environment. Most of the services are hosted on simulated virtual machines, where their changes won't impact other users.

Students will perform on-premise server management configurations in Windows Server 2022 with Active Directory and Group Policy and integrate with Azure Cloud in a hybrid environment.

For example, students will manage a Windows server located in the United Kingdom. They'll be tasked to generate a script that will onboard the Windows server to Azure Arc, allowing for remote monitoring and management.

TestOut is passionate about improving the lives and minds of students. That’s why we’ve invested so much time to crafting this course to be enjoyable and effective for students with different learning styles and accessibility needs.

Auto-Graded Hands-On Practice

Give a wide range of lab experiences faster

TestOut Hybrid Server Pro: Core labs give the benefits of virtual and physical labs, with the speed and reliability of advanced simulations.

Your students will:

• Tackle real-world scenarios Microsoft Server Admins face on the job with out having to set up cloud accounts that may incur additional costs.
• Interact with hardware and software inside real-world networked on-prem and cloud environments, using the latest technology.
• Gain on-the-job experience throughout this course with features and functionality available in Windows Server 2022 and Azure Cloud.
• Learn fast with instant feedback. Labs launch, auto-grade, and reset
• in 1-click. This course has a new optional Return to Lab feature that lets students pick up where they left off.

Say goodbye to grading screenshots. You’ll know who’s working hard and who needs extra help with customizable reports and assessments that show how your students are doing every step of the way.
