Testimonials from Australian Technical & Management College (ATMC)
ATMC partners with universities such as Federation University and Western Sydney University to provide university programs. The transition to eduLAB's virtual lab solution a year ago was driven by the need to manage IT assets efficiently. This move overcame challenges related to maintaining traditional labs and allowed for greater flexibility in classroom use. The transition also provided us with predictability for our budgeting and planning. eduLAB's role in offering flexibility, scalability, and the ability to provide a variety of IT courses enabled us to scale up rapidly. I believe that's one of the strengths of using eduLAB.
Sanjay Bhaskaran – Chief Operating Officer
Transitioning from physical devices to eduLAB has brought significant advantages. The previous approach resulted in time and financial burdens due to maintenance and upgrades. The switch to eduLAB, operating in the cloud, eliminated the need for individual computer maintenance and allowed a bring-your-own-device policy. This cloud-based platform granted students easy access to software and lab environments from anywhere. The transition also improved support efficiency, resolving the complexities of students' varied devices, and students now enjoy using labs on their familiar devices. Also, eduLAB's 24/7 availability benefits international students, offering flexible lab hours and locations that cater to individual schedules and needs.
Rajvir Uppal – IT Lead
When using eduLAB, you have everything there. Students just need to log in, and every student will have the same kind of interface and memory. They find it easy to do their work here or at home. As a lecturer, I no longer need to waste time configuring computers or software on students' laptops. This simplifies the process of demonstrating lab activities to my students. I also like how I can review students' progress and monitor their activities on the platform. This includes functions where I can gain control over their portal, demonstrate concepts, and help when they face difficulties.

The key benefits of eduLAB are 24/7 availability, ensuring access for students, and its capacity for graphic intensive software even from Chromebooks, eliminating hardware compatibility concerns. This platform alleviates financial burdens for students, allows them to use required applications without time constraints.
