No, this is one of the best features of Challenge Labs. They are delivered in hosted accounts so you don’t need to set anything up and there are no additional charges applicable to you.

Your credentials will be emailed to you after purchasing access to the Challenge Labs. Please note that these credentials are separate from your Clics credentials. You can then gain access to the labs through the online portal.

There are NO additional charges at all. All services are delivered through hosted accounts so you don’t have to set up any account of your own or pay any additional costs.

When you purchase any option—whether it’s the entire Challenge Labs catalogue, AWS-only, or Azure-only, you will be granted access to all current and future Challenge Labs within the respective catalogue for a full year (365 days).

You can attempt each Challenge Lab up to 3 times within your access period. Once you begin a Challenge Lab, you will not be able to pause, save or return to your progress.
Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the Challenge Lab before starting.

Upgrades are not possible as each purchase is an independent subscription. For best value, we recommend the All Challenge Labs with access to over 700 labs – simply the best value for money.

A support request can be submitted using the Open Support Ticket Request form located on the Learn on Demand Systems customer support page. Support includes any issues with the functionality or accessibility of the labs. Support does not include subject matter expertise or assistance understanding the topics or material Included in a specific lab.

The Challenge Labs from Skillable are a highly innovative product that includes multiple difficulty levels, automatic activity-based assessments, and real-time scoring. We chose to partner with Skillable as we believe they offer the most robust and reliable hands-on labs product on the market. It’s not surprising that AWS also chose to use LODS for their new Exam Labs tests.

Our standard training courses are self-paced, on-demand video courses, practice test courses, and eBooks. We believe in using multiple learning modalities for the most effective learning experience and Challenge Labs complement our existing training courses. We encourage students to use Challenge Labs as a way of building skills through guided lab exercises as well as assessing their skills using the more advanced challenges.
