TVET & College Walkthrough
Virtual labs, e-learning and exam platforms for technical training, and the skills to make the most of them.
Presented by Simon Mugetha, Director, Customer Solutions
What is it?
A cloud built for technical training.
Truehost Cloud designs, builds and supports the infrastructure behind virtualized student labs, e-learning and exam platforms for TVETs, polytechnics and colleges across Kenya and East Africa.
Students get the software their course needs on any lab PC or laptop. Lecturers set up a practical once. The institution gets systems that hold up when every student logs in at the same time.
Students need more time with the right tools.
Not more hardware.
Not enough lab seats
More students than computers, so practicals are queued and rushed.
Ageing machines
Older PCs struggle with current design, engineering and programming software.
Installs every semester
Software set up machine by machine, and fixed one by one when it breaks.
Learning stops at the lab door
Students can't practise outside timetabled lab hours.
Systems fail at peak
E-learning and exam portals slow down or go offline when everyone logs in.
Lost work and records
Coursework, results and student records without a reliable backup.
Three platforms, one cloud.
Each can start on its own and grow into the others.
Virtual labs
Ready-made student desktops with course software, opened from a lab PC, laptop or thin client.
E-learning
Your learning platform hosted and looked after, so notes, assignments and classes are always reachable.
Online exams
Exam and assessment platforms built to stay up when the whole cohort sits at once.
Virtual student labs.
The lab becomes software, so it can be copied, reset and opened from more places.
Set up once
Lecturers build a lab once. Every student gets an identical copy for the practical.
Fresh every session
Desktops reset after class, so the next group starts clean.
Open beyond the lab
Students can reach their desktop from other campus PCs or their own laptops, as your policy allows.
Scale for exam weeks
Add seats for practical assessments and scale back afterwards.
Learning, exams and records.
The platforms students and staff rely on every day.
E-learning hosting
Your learning platform run on infrastructure sized for your student numbers.
High-availability exams
Built so a single failed server doesn't stop an exam.
Backup & recovery
Regular backups of coursework, results and student records, with tested restores.
Access & security
Separate accounts and permissions for students, lecturers and administrators.
Built on proven platforms.
Sized around your courses, student numbers and the hardware you already have.
On campus
A private cloud in your own server room, run with your IT team.
Hosted by Truehost
Labs and platforms run in Truehost Cloud's infrastructure.
Hybrid
Some services on campus, others in the cloud, connected and backed up.
Something for everyone on campus.
Students
More hands-on time with the same software the industry uses.
Lecturers
Practicals that are ready when the class starts.
The IT team
Labs managed centrally instead of machine by machine.
Management
Infrastructure that grows with enrolment, with clearer costs.
Skills for the students using it.
Technology works best when students know what it can open up for them.
Campus masterclasses
Sessions on tech careers, cloud and AI, from people who run real infrastructure.
Campus Ambassador Programme
Students who lead tech events and communities on their campus. See the programme
Hands-on cloud sessions
Workshops where students build and run real systems.
From first visit to everyday use.
Assessment
We visit, look at your courses, student numbers and current labs, and agree what success looks like.
Pilot
One department or lab moves first, so lecturers and students try it before anything else changes.
Rollout
More labs, courses and platforms move across in phases, around your academic calendar.
Training
Your IT team and lecturers learn to run labs, add students and handle the everyday requests.
Stabilisation
A settling-in period with close support while the institution adapts to the new way of working.
Book a walkthrough for your institution.
We'll take your team through it on campus or online, and look at what fits your courses.
