When is the expected target date for sunsetting MacOS labs?
We are expecting to sunset the labs by December 2, 2024.
As a learner taking EXP-312 MacOS course, how and what should I prepare?
You will have full access to the online labs until December 2nd, 2024. You are highly encouraged to finish the online lab elements before the online labs are removed since you will need to acquire the hardware after the removal.
What are the new MacOS prerequisites?
To learn more about the prerequisite and hardware requirements, we highly recommend visiting What are the prerequisites for macOS Control Bypasses? article.
Are the exams affected by sunsetting the labs?
For now, the exams will remain unaffected until April 2025.
What happens to my lab access that’s supposed to end after we turn off the labs?
Course access will remain available, but online labs will no longer be offered. All hands-on exercises will need to be completed using hardware that learners either purchase or have access to on their own.
What if I can’t complete the labs by December 1, 2024?
Effective December 2, 2024, online access to the course labs will no longer be available. You will need to acquire the necessary hardware to complete the exercises.
We highly recommend finishing the labs in EXP-312 by December 1, 2024.
If you are unable to complete the labs by this date, you will need an M1 machine with at least a 1TB SSD to proceed.
Can I still purchase the EXP-312 / MacOS course?
Absolutely! The course is still available. The only difference is that we are moving away from hosted labs, so you’ll need to use your hardware.
Can I still download the EXP-312 course materials?
Yes, we are only removing the online labs for EXP-312 but you can still purchase the course and download its course materials.

What happens to my course progress?
Since we’re archiving the old modules, your progress will not be retained.
