“I love using PC Pro because students can work at their own pace through each chapter. The simulations give students a safe place to practice hands-on activities (they can’t break anything) before they work with actual equipment, operating systems, etc. in the classroom. I love how it integrates with Canvas LMS. It has definitely made remote teaching easier for both me and my students. I’ve been using it for years (I’ve been teaching for twenty) and have never thought about using anything else.”

“PC Pro is one of the courses that I use from TestOut. I use this course as my beginning core course for my program. As the first-year students come into the program, I take them through the PC Pro course. After taking this course, the students can choose the next program that they would like to take. PC Pro is a great foundational course because it provides a nice overview, or snapshot of the other courses in one course. Since it covers a little bit of everything, it's a great starting point. I supplement the course with many hands-on labs (some from the course and some that I create) to help them learn. Each of the TestOut courses helps each one of my students prepare for future courses and certifications in the IT industry.”

"I love the TestOut Products we use for our students. We are preparing the students in our program for their CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications. I feel that when they use the TestOut labs, it prepares them for the simulations they may see on a CompTIA cert test. I love that we use it as a complement to our books, but the product does not need an additional book to be effective."

"The TestOut support group is amazing and always responds to our requests in a timely manner. The product is dynamic. It changes to keep up with the needs and changes of a product."
