Online LIVE™ - Virtually the only way to learn

Like our traditional classroom learning, New Horizons’ Online Live learning model allows students to
learn from expert instructors, access live, hands-on labs, and use authorized vendor curriculum. The
only difference recognized with this learning model is that the student is not in the classroom with an
instructor, but attends class from a remote location.

OLL brings a variety of benefits to our clients, including:

• 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 through our collaborative eLearning
platform.

All students are issued low-noise headphones with microphones, and may 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.
• 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.

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.
The Learning Environment

With minimal technical requirements, the OLL platform was designed to make the training experience
as simple to implement as possible, allowing students to attend class from their home, office, or on the
road.

Alternately, students may attend classes in their local New Horizons center’s OLL Learning Lab, which
is appointed with a variety of special features to ensure the student’s success. 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.
