Deployment Practical Lab

Hi there.

Following the certification path I enrolled into Deployment Lab and I'm a bit confused. The course details on the education portal lists the training on the one hand as 4.5 hours long but on the other hand the description says it's a "24-hour practical lab exercise".

So I'm a bit lost about what it looks like.

And I'm asking because due to a tight schedule I had to get a training in some "alien" timezone for me so I'm starting it at 3PM my local time and was just wondering whether I will have to pull an all-nighter or what 🙂

@PickleRick - I've been there.

  • It is actually a 24 hours Lab. That is the maximum allowed time.
  • The instructor will be present for the first few hours.
  • Generally, you will not require more than 4-5 hours. Much less time for you @PickleRick sir

 

I hope this helps!!!

Ahhh. So that's the difference in timings. 🙂

Thanks for the clarification. That means that as I start at 3pm if I manage to finish it in, let's say, 8 hours I still land pretty decently around midnight 😉

Thank you!

I've been there. I started at 9 PM my time. 😉

You can work on the next day morning your time as well if you want. You just need to finish before the next day 3 PM.

The lab itself is pretty short. If I remember correctly it took me around 4 hours.
