But there is a third variant that Global Knowledge will soon launch: GK Polaris Accelerate.

What is GK Polaris Accelerate?

GK Polaris Accelerate gives you 24/7 access to on-demand study materials. Accelerate bundles together the best digital learning options and subscriptions for you (from lab and eLearning providers such as Develop, Whizlabs and Learningondemand).

Accelerate is the perfect learning solution for a self-learning IT professional and the perfect preparation for a certification. You get access to the lab and training materials needed to get your Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform certifications. These lab exercises are real challenges, unlike the lab exercises that you get with exam prep. The challenges help you enhance your knowledge even further.

You can get access to GK Polaris Accelerate for € 399 per year.

Who should get this subscription?

This subscription is ideal if you like to learn at your own pace and learn better on your own than from a teacher. You are self-taught, you already have a clear idea of what your "learning path" is, and all you need is the means to follow that learning path.

Accelerate is also ideal if you simply don't have time for in classroom training. With the content available 24/7, you have the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you want.

Finally, you can also use GK Polaris Accelerate to prepare for a certification. For example, from Microsoft or Amazon Web Services. The subscription gives you access to authorized content and is a great preparation for your exams.

What are the benefits of GK Polaris Accelerate?

• In the IT Pro lab environment of GK Polaris Accelerate you can immediately practice what you have learnt
  That is better than immediately applying what you’ve learnt to the live environment of your organization. If you make a mistake, your organization will suffer. GK Polaris offers a highly advanced lab environment (IT Pro Challenges) based on real-world scenarios. This way, you get to practice with situations that you may face in the real world.
  
  In the IT Pro environment, you will find challenges in Microsoft Azure, PowerShell, Linux, AWS and cybersecurity. The challenges are available at three different levels: Guided, Advanced, and Expert. An assessment follows at the end of each level so that you can verify your knowledge.
• You decide where and when you learn
  If you don't have time to train during the day, you can learn in the evenings using GK Polaris Accelerate. Because the learning environment of GK Polaris Accelerate is available 24/7, you decide when you take the knowledge.
• Thanks to the wide range, there is always an on-demand training that suits you
  With GK Polaris Accelerate, you get access to hundreds of on-demand training courses. There is authorized content from Microsoft, AWS, and also about information security in the GK Polaris Accelerate package. You can find the full range of trainings on this page.

When will GK Polaris Accelerate be available?

Accelerate subscription will be available in the GK Polaris offering in the beginning of 2021. Keep an eye on the website and your mailbox for the latest developments.
