Included with every enrolment
The labs stay open after the classroom closes.
Skillopia is RST Forum's own platform: real topologies you boot on demand, a console on every node, in-browser coding challenges, full lecture recordings and proctored exams. Included with every enrolment, 24/7.
Skillopia - Our own Learning Management Platform
Other platforms teach you syntax.
Skillopia makes you dangerous.
Every RST Forum course includes Skillopia, the learning platform we built ourselves - real-hardware labs, an in-browser IDE, every lecture recorded, and automatically proctored exams with real anti-cheat.
01 · The Lab
Break things on real hardware.
Not a simulator. Live multi-node topologies on actual Cisco, Palo Alto, Juniper and F5 gear - boot the nodes, telnet in from your browser, and configure the same racks your instructor teaches on.
02 · The Code Arena
A full IDE, inside your tab.
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and more - hundreds of graded challenges with hidden test cases, hints and instant verdicts. No installs, no “works on my machine”.
03 · The Classroom
Miss a lecture? It's already waiting.
Every session is recorded and lands in your course hub - alongside resources, code snippets, the batch schedule and your live progress.
04 · The Exam
Certification that stands up to scrutiny.
Timed, proctored assessments with real anti-cheat - switch tabs or open DevTools and it's flagged - ending in a QR-verifiable certificate you can put on LinkedIn without a disclaimer.
- Automatic proctoring
- Tab-switch detection
- DevTools detection
- Violation log
- Timed sessions
Skillopia access is included with every RST Forum enrolment - from day one.

Labs that boot on demand
Click a topology and it comes up - routers, switches, firewalls, servers, the lot - with a timer and node controls. The CCNP Security lab is the same fabric your instructor demonstrates on.
A console, not a screenshot
Full terminal access to every node in the topology. You configure it, you break it, you fix it. Reset the lab and start again as often as you like.
Every lecture, recorded
Missed a Thursday, or want the OSPF session again before an interview? Full-length recordings sit in the course hub with the snippets, resources and batch schedule.
Coding challenges in the browser
For the Python, full-stack, DSA and AI tracks: write code, hit Run, get instant test feedback. No local setup evening lost before you have written a line.
Proctored exams
Practice exams under real conditions - timed, automatically proctored, with tab-switch and DevTools detection and a violation log. Pass and the certificate is QR-verifiable by anyone.
Open at 2 am
The classroom closes; the labs do not. Access is 24/7 from anywhere, which is the only way this works for engineers holding down a full-time job.
Questions
- Does Skillopia cost extra?
- No. Skillopia access is included with every RST Forum enrolment, from day one of your batch.
- Do online students get the same labs as classroom students?
- Yes - identical. A batch runs in the Mumbai classroom and live online simultaneously, and both rooms use the same Skillopia labs on the same equipment.
- Are these simulators?
- No. Skillopia fronts real equipment and real virtualised infrastructure - the institute's racks, fabrics and cloud environments. What you configure is what an engineer configures at work.
- How long do I keep access after the course?
- Access runs through your course and the certification window that follows it. If you need longer while you finish an exam attempt, ask your trainer or the office - it is usually arranged.
