Original Abstract Submitted

The invention provides for a method, computer program product, and computer system for a training platform for training a user on an application. The method provides training content to a training platform interface at a user browser, wherein the training content includes instructions for a user on interaction with an application and provides access to an application instance at the training platform interface for user interaction with the application instance. The method further provides a session of an application instance hosted by an application node for the duration of a training session. The method may further determine a training content and an application from user input received at the user browser and broadcasting a message to find a free application instance of the application. The method may further select an application instance from one or more responses from application nodes based on defined selection factors.
