“Our website stopped working.”

Three questions from the skills assessment
1. What does this curl error tell you?
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.10.0.10 port 8080: Connection refused
2. nginx is running now, but it wasn't running after the last reboot. What was probably missing?
3. Hundreds of failed logins across many accounts come from one outside address. What is this most likely to be?
The full assessment places you in all 12 subjects.
Take the full assessment — freeStart where you are
A short skills assessment places you in every subject, so you skip what you already know and learn what you don't.
Then fix real failures
Finish a subject and unlock bonus labs: click START LAB, get your own live server in seconds, and fix a real outage or incident.
Prove you can do it
We score diagnosis, evidence, safety and verification — not multiple choice. Your operator profile shows what you can actually do.
One curriculum. Every foundation.
Everyone learns the same core skills, in the same order. The Academy adapts your pace and how much help you get — never what you need to know.

Learn with BookIT, your AI instructor
BookIT works like a senior teammate. It asks the questions that make you think, runs checks when you ask, and proposes fixes — some of them wrong on purpose. Knowing when to say no is part of the job.
Reason: The service appears stopped.
Impact: The web application will briefly restart.
