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

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

A- Radiant Techlearning has a data center containing the Virtual Training environment for the purpose of participant’s hand-on-practice. 

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

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

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