	Full motion video Each class is presented in full motion video allowing you to see the steps, hear the explanations, and perform the tasks which includes our interactive hands-on training simulations, students will learn from real-world scenarios taught by our expert instructor. Instructor-Led Training Combines both the convenience and affordability of computer-based training with the effectiveness of a traditional classroom setting. The instructors featured in our multi-media DVD's are not only certified in their area of expertise, but also have years of real world experience and are subject matter experts in their fields.

	E-BOOKS (PDF) We supply a complete line of e-books to offer a complete training solution. Our courses include e-books for CompTIA, CISCO and Microsoft certifications.Supplied on DVD for DVD courses or downloadable for Online Courses.

	Practice Exam Simulators We offer exam simulators for all technical certifications. Our exam simulators are the closest replication to the real exam! Our exam simulators creates a simulation of an actual certification exam. Under timed conditions, IntelliSage? sets up a test with 60 randomly chosen questions designed to help you get ready for the real exam. As with the Practice Exam, the Certification Simulator allows you to mark questions you cannot answer for review at the end of the test. If you ask, IntelliSage? will show you the correct answer. IntelliSage? will also explain why it is the correct answer when you select the "Learn Now" feature. The Practice Exam is the first IntelliSage? step in getting you ready to pass your certification exams.


	Hands-on Lab Simulation Hands-on Lab Simulation is a crucial component of your IT training. Practice make perfect. Step-by-step hands-on labs with detail instructions are included to reinforce all key concepts. When you complete a topic, choose the Lab Simulation button to select the associated hands-on lab exercises. Labs allow you to reinforce concepts by performing the tasks you've just learned..
