I think you mean can GNS3 be used as a real Lab environment. In fact GNS3 is an EMULATOR software, un like the SIMULATOR sotwares, GNS3 uses a real IOS images, and run these images on your computer's hardware, thus can give you a lab results just like if you work in real network lab.

I hop this answers your question.
