Frequently Asked Questions

Who runs labITpro?

labIT PRO was founded by Thomas Mitchell, a 25-year IT industry veteran and top-performing Udemy Instructor Partner. Thomas has helped hundreds of thousands of students worldwide build real-world cloud and IT skills.

Do I need a cloud subscription to use the labIT PRO suite?

No. In fact, that’s exactly why labIT PRO exists. Students can practice cloud tasks without paying for cloud resources. All the labs run right in your browser—no subscription required.

How much does labIT PRO cost?

We offer both free and paid lab collections. The free account includes access to a set of guided labs so you can experience how the platform works. If you’d like to unlock additional lab collections, you can purchase them individually for a low one-time fee—no recurring charges.

Don’t cloud providers offer free trials? Why not just use them?

Yes, most providers give new customers a limited free trial. But free trials expire quickly and don’t include guided, hands-on practice. With labIT PRO, you get unlimited access to fully guided simulations, so you can keep learning at your own pace without worrying about costs or time limits.

How is the labIT PRO Suite different from other training courses, like Udemy?

The labIT PRO Suite is interactive training. Instead of just watching videos, you actually perform the tasks yourself with on-screen prompts and step-by-step audio guidance. This immersive approach helps you retain knowledge faster and build real skills. If Udemy courses are your thing, we have those too.

Are the lab simulations the same as on the certification exams?

I wouldn’t say they are identical; however, the tasks that you perform when working through the simulated labs are the same kinds of tasks you will often encounter on the exams.

Can I use the lab simulations to prepare for the certification exams?

Yes! Absolutely! What better way to prepare for the certification exams than to actually perform the tasks that you are expected to understand! The labIT PRO Suite is an AWESOME complement to any certification training you are currently enrolled in.
