Recent Student Comments
"Content: Is really excellent. There is lot of details and lot of time was put into developing the course. I see that lot of labs are added for students, i.e can learn hands on, not just teaching. I really think this is one of the best course materiel put together I've seen.
Instructor: He is very through and knowledgeable. Most of the time you get teachers who have no real world experience. Your instructor had a lot of real world experience. He was great at delivery, took time to explain the details. Had excellent knowledge of the subject. It's very rare to have for course teaching...I would rate him extraordinary.
Online Live delivery: Really great. I think it's a great selling point with most companies in cost cutting mode and have no travel budget. The deliver and user interface is also really excellent."

"Online Live is far simpler, faster, and far more efficient that classes like this have been in the past, and I have taken many. If anyone has reser-vations or is uneasy with the idea of intense technical classes being presented and taught this way, I’d recommend trying just one. I manage a fairly large network encompassing multiple environments and server types; I am not easily impressed, but the simplicity behind an OLL class belies a much more complicated infrastructure that works seamlessly."

New Horizons Knoxville Online Instructor-Led Training
Virtually the Only Way to Learn
What is Online Instructor-Led training or Online LIVE? Like our traditional classroom learning, New Horizons’ Online LIVE (OLL) learning model allows students to learn from live expert instructors, access hands-on labs, and use authorized vendor curriculum. The instructor lectures, leads discussions and assist students in their lab exercises in a virtual classroom of 12-16 students. The only difference recognized with this learning model is that the student is not in the classroom with the instructor.
OLL brings a variety of benefits to our clients, including:
- Currently over 1,300 OLL students per month
- More robust and varied open-enrollment training schedule
- Minimizes commuting challenges and costs, and promotes a green agenda
- Connect virtual teams for collaborative group training
- Eliminates class cancellations and rescheduling

The Learning Experience
OLL classes follow the same framework as our traditional instructor-led training. Using lecture,demos, and freehand diagramming, our certified trainers provide instruction throughourcollaborative eLearning platform.
Our learning environment is equipped with low-noise headphones with microphones allowing students to freely participate in discussions with the instructor or with other students by voice or through text-chat. VoIP technology allows for clear,uninterrupted voice communication.
Students apply what they learn in lecture by working on hands-on labs in a virtual environment. During their lab practice, the instructor can provide one-to-one mentoring, using remote sharing technology to view and manage the student’s computer.
Hands-on Labs
The award winning labs offer students the following features:
- Learn on the real thing – Learners interact with virtual machines, allowing them to use the same software and scenarios they will encounter in the real world.
- Integrated guidance – The Lab On-Demand lab console walks the learner through the learning process step-by-step. Detailed instructions are provided from within the console interface. This means the learner doesn’t waste time flipping between a lab manual and the lab itself. The Instructor is able to view their work by looking over their shoulder, and take action to assist the student when asked for help.
- Lab restore points – Learners can create restore points within their labs, allowing them to instantly revert back to “known good” states.
- Customizable interface – The lab console can be customized by the learner to fit individual needs and preferences.
- After class lab access for 6 MONTHS (Microsoft and CompTIA classes)
New Horizons offers live labs for more than 150 courses. The majority of Online LIVE offerings are vendor authorized programs, including: Microsoft, Cisco, Citrix, CompTIA, and Novell.

In addition to an optimal technical environment with on-site support, students benefit from a focused learning environment free from the distractions that might be present at work or home.
