TestOut Releases LabSim 2009 Network+ Certification Training Suite

Online Labs with New Closed Captioning Provide Valuable, Virtual Hands-on
Experience
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah--(Business Wire)--
TestOut Corporation-provider of online labs for IT certification training-today
launched a new LabSim Network+ course that meets the objectives of the new 2009
CompTIA Network+ certification exam (N10-004). TestOut`s LabSim Network+
certification training suite provides hands-on experience through a virtual
environment with real-world scenarios that help students master installing,
configuring, and troubleshooting basic networking hardware, protocols and
services. The LabSim course is also the first Network+ training course to
include closed captioning within the training videos, beneficial for both the
hearing impaired and students studying in quiet environments.

The CompTIA Network+ certification, originally introduced in 1999, is an
international, vendor-neutral certification that proves a technician`s
competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring
basic network infrastructure. CompTIA launched the newest version of its
Network+ exam in early 2009.

"Today`s advanced networks demand IT professionals that can install, maintain
and troubleshoot basic network infrastructures," said Noel Vallejo, CEO,
TestOut. "Working through the more than 40 LabSim online lab simulations
provides valuable hands-on experience that lets motivated students master
critical networking skills in a virtual, online environment."

Since its introduction, more than 235,000 people have become CompTIA Network+
certified. Microsoft includes CompTIA Network+ in its Microsoft Certified
Systems Administrator (MCSA) program, and other corporations, including Novell,
Cisco and HP, recognize CompTIA Network+ as part of their certification tracks.

In addition to the hands-on lab exercises, the LabSim suite includes more than
100 training videos and demonstrations, more than 70 fact sheets, and
certification practice exams with a bank of 416 realistic questions. For the
first time, users can also view and print the full transcripts of the training
videos, enabling learners additional study materials while offline.
