In this lab, you will find a series of tasks designed to assess your IT skills and knowledge. Each task falls into one of two categories: quiz-style questions or practical tasks that require completion. These are evaluated automatically by the lab system, and by Archer, our AI instructor.
Archer provides real-time feedback on your performance, helping you understand your strengths and areas where you might need improvement. As you proceed, engage with each task to maximize your learning and proficiency in IT concepts.
