    CBT Nuggets is well suited for people who need
    to learn in nuggets/small packets, business professionals on the run, and those
    who need modular content for a wide range of topics. This is also suitable for
    people/employees looking for upskilling, certification exams, or business growth.
    It is also suited to large organizations that want to upskill their workforce.
    This might not be suited for people looking for supplementary content, or people
    attending regular in-class educational/training, sessions as this provides
    comprehensive content rather than supplementary content. Also not suited for those who are looking for written materials for training like
    books, notes, ppt, etc.

    The main differentiator was the contents as we were interested in a cloud platform other similar platforms did not have the below: it is very good to establish cloud learning development plans and then track them and manage them for the team. The platform supports learning tracks, exams, and sandboxes with all major cloud providers guarantees that you don't get an accidental charge as a result of [the] testing and exploring the cloud
