This paper gauges the experience of educational institutions currently utilizing a Cyber Range. A Cyber Range is implemented to provide hands-on training in the cyber security field. This hands-on training produces a more skilled worker that is better equipped to enter the Cyber Security industry. A survey was conducted to provide a better knowledge of the uses, benefits, costs, and methods used to implement a Cyber Range at an educational institution.
