About Practice-Labs
The Company
Established in 2007 in the UK, I-Qubed Solutions developed Practice-Labs to revolutionise the technical IT e-learning market place. Practice-Labs are used across the globe by our own customers or through our e-learning provider partners.
Our Practice-Labs cover a range of technology topics and provide collaboration services bringing e-learning to life.
Our Vision
We developed Practice-Labs to improve the practical ability of both IT professionals and individuals new to IT. For too long Tech IT e-learning has not delivered a solution that mirrors the development needs of today’s IT professionals.
We believe that the only way to truly understand and learn a technology is to get your hands dirty in a safe working environment.
The reason we can say this is because we have worked in corporate IT departments and completed numerous training solutions.
Why Practice-Labs
Whether you work in an IT department or are self-studying you know how difficult it can be to build a test environment. Not only can it be expensive and time consuming but you are limited to accessing it from one location. Practice-Labs breaks down these barriers, as long as you have a computer with internet connectivity you get access to your environment. The other great thing is that you can access more than one technology in the same platform which means you can become multi skilled making you more valuable to employers.
Having the ability to collaborate with other like-minded individuals enables you to learn via informal means which is proven to be far more effective than traditional formal training methods. All of this provides our clients a platform to learn, discover and explore in a safe working environment that is based on corporate IT infrastructures and exam certification requirements.
All that is left to say is try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I fell into IT at the end of the 90's, Y2K seemed a good time to get started.
I Worked my way up through the IT ranks from the support desk to Technical IT Consultant.
Having worked for a range of different companies and roles I have gained a very diverse skill set ranging from firewall technologies to server backups.
I have always been interested in trying keeping my skills up to date but it was not always easy to do so. Gone are the days of throwing a server into the domain and have a "play" to understand it. As IT has become an integral part of most organisations operations the change control and cost saving era has stifled development somewhat. That is why we decided to come up our solutions.
I am now focused on developing the necessary business skills to make Practice-IT Training Services a success.
We are always learning new things and trying to implement them in the business which hopefully makes for a better experience for our clients.

I started out in IT back in the late 90's having left college I landed my first IT job before I had even finished my last exam. It was a time where jobs were a plenty and companies weren't afraid of taking on fresh blood.
I started at the bottom, but after a few years I become the network manager of a financial institution in the city of London, having gone through the ranks of many different areas of IT. Having joined and left many financial organisations and even a startup my skill set blossomed and then set
firmly in the networking and security space. Having experience in Cisco networking and on all the major vendors firewalls, Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper and the fantastic up-coming Palo Alto appliances made me a well rounded individual.
Throughout this time I managed to eek out a handful of classroom based courses from the current employer at the time, but mostly I am self-taught. I did it the hard way of buying my own equipment which is great except it costs a fortune, and it's noisy, expensive to run and takes up heaps of space! Yet another reason for creating Practice-Labs!
If you are new to IT, or a seasoned proffesional then I urge you to try out our solution, I dont think you will be dissapointed. Oh and don't be put off by the price, we are able to offer these prices as we own everything, which is very rare in this IT training industry!
