    CBT Nuggets
    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 Microsoft Hands-on Labs were great for training when working alongside an instructor. They would show things on their screen, and I would work alongside with a real environment. Being able to actually use the environment and interact with it was more preferable than just a straight lecture. It allowed me hands-on practice.

    Cons
    CBT Nuggets
    • While the trainers are good, sometimes their accent make them hard to understand.
    • More practice questions at the end that simulate the certification test.
    • Perhaps a score card that with those questions that tell you where to spend more time training.

    • Copying and pasting can be clunky
    • Sometimes the instructions are not accurate
    • For some Microsoft tools, it requires you to create a temporary account, which takes some time and is time-consuming
    • Have to remember to save or you will lose your environment
    • May not be the most user-friendly to initially start

    I think Udemy is really superior as a platform, people create super high quality courses that get employees up to speed in days. The platform has a web and mobile app and has taking notes functionality that can be exported

    • I think it has a positive impact in having a platform to train employees
    • I don't think the cost might be worth it given that the content is super dry
