About
Built for the people who teach IT and cybersecurity.
Classroom teaching gives students the concepts. Practical work helps them apply those concepts on real systems. Rudder Virt brings an existing module library, individual student environments, and automatic grading together to support IT and cybersecurity educators.
Our Story
Built from the classroom out.
Rudder Virt was created and is maintained by industry professionals with deep roots in education: people who once sat in IT classrooms, were shaped by the educators who trained them, and believe we can do more to prepare the next generation of tech talent.
- Browser-based student consoles, without local hypervisor installs.
- Every student works in their own fully equipped virtual machine.
- Practical exercises that complement your curriculum.


What Sets Us Apart
Good lessons should reach more classrooms.
The module library turns individual teaching expertise into reusable classroom resources. Educators can discover existing modules, create their own, and contribute through publishing or organization sharing. A useful lab should not stay on one instructor’s hard drive.
Real VMs
Every student gets a dedicated, fully functional machine, not a simulation.
Community contributions
Contribute modules you own so other educators can teach from your work.
Industry-Built
Built by IT professionals with roots in education and a connection to classrooms.
