Case Study: Lumify Learn builds student confidence with Heropa virtual labs

Lumify Learn scales hands-on IT training with Heropa and 5 concurrent instances per student

Lumify Learn, a registered training organization providing online IT courses across the Asia-Pacific region, faced challenges scaling its infrastructure to meet growing demand for hands-on training. Their previous setup, reliant on student-owned hardware, led to inconsistent performance and could not support complex lab scenarios or increased numbers of concurrent users. To address this, they partnered with vendor Heropa to implement its virtual labs platform.

Heropa provided a scalable solution featuring isolated, customizable virtual environments that mirrored real-world IT challenges. The platform integrated seamlessly with Lumify's Moodle LMS and offered trainers tools for real-time oversight. The results included the ability for each student to run up to five concurrent instances with no performance issues, a reduction in practical assessment completion times to 2-3 weeks, and a consistent graduation rate of 15-20 students per month who secure IT roles. Heropa's infrastructure was central to achieving these outcomes.
