I’m looking for suggestions for online training courses, for our IT Department. and am just curious to know what ones you’d recommend.

we want a wide variety of courses, Ie All the Microsoft, Citrix, Cisco, as well as project management etc.

i’ve used Udemy, and Linkedin, but Can you advise on any that worked for your department?

Thanks.

I like Pluralsight , we get it where I work currently and done quite a wide range of courses, good choices available.

Previously I had used LinkedIn or Lynda and like that also, but found Plural Sight better in some ways.

We’ve always liked the PluralSight and CBT Nuggets platforms. Both of these have fairly large catalogs of material.

I’ve used Lynda & CBT direct. The CBT direct was aimed specifically at IT courses while Lynda has a much broader spectrum of software. Hope this helps!

Another vote for Pluralsight, but I’ll also chip in Cybrary.

My team enjoys CBTNuggets good stuff!!

Also check out Udemy.com.

They have regular “sales” on self-paced lessons on many IT topics for $9.99. Don’t let that price lead you into thinking they’re shallow or basic. some of these courses have more than 100 parts and deep dive into everything from server administration and security to VoIP systems, programming, DevOps and Agile.

Once you register for a course, you can access it forever. Some of the most cost effective yet serious training I’ve seen.

+1 for cybrary. That’s what I used when I was starting out in my current role.

spiceuser-nmoma · 2019-09-30T11:40:32.000Z

+1 for pluralsight!

garykay · 2019-09-30T11:44:16.000Z

I have used Plurasight for the past couple of years some good content, but didn’t renewal this year - but i am now looking at all options at the minute to see if i should go back to Plurasight or look at others.

I am currently considering on given Linkedin Training ago

kchamburglar · 2019-09-30T11:53:00.000Z

I also will add a remark we used pluralsight and had good feedback, We are currently looking into www.ine.com for some training as well.

markvadams · 2019-09-30T12:10:05.000Z

If you team happens to be Linux or cloud-focused, Linux Academy is where it’s at.

Juanoflo:

Definitely give the folks at ITProTV.

I second this.

The only thing I would say is not everyone is able to learn with the same type of training. For me, ITProTV is perfect for me but others might struggle to absorb the info. Its still my go-to and my recommendation.

kelly-for-isc2 · 2019-09-30T12:25:39.000Z

Just in case your team ever wants to investigate cybersecurity certifications like CISSP or SSCP, I’ll just link to our Online Self-Paced courses, here: Online Self Paced Cybersecurity Training

spiceuser-klhmz · 2019-09-30T12:50:07.000Z

As juanoflo stated, ITPROTV has been a very good resource for me, with its easy digestible videos and simulators and practice tests, it has been a very good investment for me. I have used this resource for a number of years now. They have a very diverse selection of course(s).

michaelmtallman · 2019-09-30T13:09:19.000Z

There’s also @Skillsoft for online training where you can get a corporate package - not sure the cost, but I’m sure one of their “green” folks can help you out with that Also, most people forget about Microsoft Hands-on Labs , which are self-paced and gets you actually doing the skills and are free if you wanted to focus on a particular thing.

ericcowen · 2019-09-30T13:17:54.000Z

We use StormWinds Studios. The courses can be done live or recorded. If you take the live courses, they are two weeks and it is two hours per day. The courses cover Microsoft, Cisco and security, as well as other topics.
