  • complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
  • run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will not be able to participate in the course exercises. Using your organization's BI environment is not an option for completing the course exercises.
