It is not allowed to do a Lab more than 4 times, so it is difficult to complete the study if the connection problems occur. It is very stressful for the limited time and makes it harder to learn. **Recommendations to others considering Skillable:** Absolutely I recommend for cyber security candidates **What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are many operating systems, programs, and tools that need to be practiced in the field of cyber security. On the other hand, these Labs allow these practices to be done before job application and are very useful. After doing the labs, my self-confidence increases, and I really feel ready for business life. **Official Response from Ben Watson:** > Thank you, Fatma for your feedback! Each lab author, or their organization, sets the policy on their labs including how long you have access and the number of lab launches. For example, Skillable also creates its own labs (Challenge Labs) where we have set the number of lab launches. That said, any time you have technical issues with a lab like connections, timeouts, etc please reach out to our Support team and we can review your lab launch so it doesn't count. ### 43.

So far is ok but going along there is some hipcup to solve **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** AZMI S. | Last job IT in Government School, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Skillable?** Lab is good but going along there is some hipcup as maybe there is delay in the lab server running. I sometime have to end the lab and redo to get the assignment done. **What do you dislike about Skillable?** Time frame is not likely approachable for the student that encounter hipup on the lab issue. **Recommendations to others considering Skillable:** Since it is virtual lab for me, i suggest the trainer give a proper guide sample of the lab. The trainer should also be aware of the error in the lab sample like the sample of the screenshot did not show any idea to start. I had to redo the lab many time due to time constraint and the lab sample screeshot is not user friendly to the student. **What problems is Skillable solving and how is that benefiting you?** I doing the government skilllfuture courses under Lithan Academy ### 48.
