To attend the training session, you should have operational Desktops or Laptops with the required specification, along with a good internet connection to access the labs. 

We would always recommend you attend the live session to practice & clarify the doubts instantly & get more value from your investment. However, if, due to some contingency, you have to skip the class, Radiant Techlearning will help you with the recorded session of that particular day. However, those recorded sessions are not meant only for personal consumption & NOT for distribution or any commercial use.

Radiant Techlearning has a data center containing a Virtual Training environment for the purpose of professional hand-on-practice. 

Professionals can easily access these labs over Cloud with the help of a remote desktop connection. 

Radiant virtual labs provide you the flexibility to learn from anywhere in the world & in any time zone. 

The professionals will be enthralled as we engage them the real-world & industry Oriented projects during the training program. These projects will improve your skills & knowledge & you will gain a better experience. These real-time projects will help you a lot in your future tasks & assignments.
