Abstract
An information handling system having a configured operating system boots to a removable medium to provide a training environment and training material for a training operating system. Training content runs over the training operating system so that an end user has access to functions of the training operating system for applying training material. A training operating system provided from the removable medium loads from the removable medium into RAM on the information handling system and runs without impacting the configured operating system or other system settings at a subsequent reboot of the information handling system. The training material is presented by a browser running over the training operating system to allow retrieval of network based material, such as exams.
