Colleges and academies: start with a 30-day pilot.

Set up a Center of Excellence on a dedicated 4 vCPU / 8 GB server of your own, under your brand. Run it with one department for 30 days, look at the usage with us, and then decide whether to continue and how far to scale.

Request for free trial See demo

How the trial works: sign in, tell us about your institution, and once we approve it you get a dedicated 4 vCPU / 8 GB server under your own brand, free for 30 days. Afterwards the same server carries on as the Nano plan at €30.00 a month, and you can move to a bigger machine whenever you want. Want us to set it up for your team? Done-for-you setup →

Center of Excellence

A working technology center for your campus

Students practice AI, cybersecurity, DevOps and embedded systems on real machines from any browser. Faculty guide instead of maintaining lab PCs, and every project stays on record for the institution.

Real labs for every student

A Linux lab per student with root, VS Code in the browser and a database beside it, from campus or home.

Tracks employers hire for

AI and automation, software and deployment, cybersecurity and CTF, embedded and IoT, on one platform.

Results the institution owns

Quizzes, the code arena, CTF missions and live projects, kept as records for reviews and placements.

The pilot

How the pilot runs

  1. Ask

    Sign in and request a white-labelled trial: your institution, the department, how many students and what you want to teach.

  2. Approval

    A person reads every request and writes back to you. Pilots are approved case by case.

  3. Pilot

    A dedicated 4 vCPU / 8 GB server, free for 30 days, under your own brand. It comfortably runs a department with 10–20 students working at the same time; more can have accounts and sign in.

  4. Review

    At the end of the pilot you review the usage with us, and the college decides whether to continue and scale.

  5. Continue

    The same server carries on as the Nano plan at €30.00 a month, with nothing rebuilt or moved. Move to a bigger machine whenever you want.

People

Who runs the pilot

Your own people lead it, and we do the technical setup. There is no one new to hire.

  • A faculty coordinator: one person from your existing staff, who owns the pilot
  • A few student ambassadors: students who help their classmates get started
  • Our team: sets up the server and checks in with you during the pilot

After the pilot, the same server is €30.00 a month.

That is the published price of the Nano plan, the plan the pilot runs on. There is no per-student fee. When more departments join, move to a bigger machine whenever you want, without rebuilding anything.
