What Others Have Said about TestOut’s LabSim:
“I started using TestOut LabSim in 2005, I had no certifications and had never taken any of the exams. I started with CompTIA A+. I breezed through both tests using only TestOut LabSim to prepare. The labs and training videos are wonderful, I don’t have to worry about getting the hands on training; it is all right there in the product. I have tried at some competitors computer based training and TestOut LabSim is hands-down the best I have used. Since 2005, using TestOut LabSim exclusively (studying evenings after work), I have received CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Linux+, Cisco CCNA, Microsoft MCP, and Microsoft MCTS (I have always passed on the first try). I will test in a few days to finish out my MCSA then begin on CCNP and MCITP! TestOut LabSim did more than just help me pass exams, it gave me more confidence and made me better at my job.”

“I'm a network engineer. I've completed the Cisco Networking academy, and extensive Microsoft training through a local community college. I tried several times to pass my CCNA without success. After I purchased your CCNA product, I passed it immediately after using it. I've also used your Vista training, Security+, and most recently, started through your CCNP software—passing the first time after each test. This is especially exciting for me after my recent CCNP test. The material was top-notch, and as challenging as it was, it allowed me to pass the first time out. I'll be a TestOut customer for life!”
