It's not mandatory to give access to Skillable. They are an Authorized Lab Host (ALH) and have hosted lab environments that are easy and convenient to use for labs. You can choose to host the labs yourself if you want. Everything you need in terms of lab files is available here, https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/PL-300-Microsoft-Power-BI-Data-Analyst. Some of the labs require a Power BI subscription and it can be a bit of a pain to set that up yourself for a class. The ALH provides all of that for you.
There are other Authorized Lab Hosts available as well. Here's a few others:
- Go Deploy: https://www.godeploy.com
- Spektra: https://www.spektrasystems.com
- Virsoft: https://www.virsoft.net
- Xtremelabs: https://www.xtremelabs.io
