CBT Nuggets vs. Pluralsight

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.

Awesome tool for teams looking to gain new skills or refine and update existing skills. I love the convenience of using this tool for recertification credits (i.e. PMP). Instead of identifying which classes I need to take, I can identify my interests and have recommendations presented for what paths I should take. It is a really helpful tool to create ladders for my team to transition from one role into the next. I think this is going to be a really beneficial tool.

• It's on-demand. You can take zero or 100 courses for the same price and at your own convenience.
• Courses are organized extremely well and instructors are great.
• You can cover a wide range of training topics - Microsoft, Networking, database, ETC.
• You can go back and re-watch videos to get a better understanding.

• Pluralsight has hundreds of authors that are constantly producing new content, which is valuable for the tech industry that is constantly moving at a brisk pace.
• Many content authors are respected leaders in the topic they're presenting. You are able to trust that their content is thorough and authentic.
• Niche expert-level topics are presented in a curated video format which is difficult to find anywhere else.

• 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.

• Companies don't change technologies in their products often. For example a product that was built on AngularJS is still viable and the company may have no plans to upgrade it. Pluralsight could do a better job of providing new courses on technology that's still useful, though somewhat dated; like AngularJS for example.
• Pluralsight has a bad habit of throwing all their courses in a large bucket. For example, when I log-in and look to see what new I often have to wade through courses on tools that a web artist or designer would use. I wish Pluralsight would categorize course and let us (their customers) flag what types of videos we wanted to see, or better yet exclude from our view.
• Years ago, Pluralsight would let its customer download the courseware and that was great. I was disappointed when they stopped this feature.
• I'd love to see more course where the goal is to build a particular type of software. For example, lets have one where you build a blog using ASP.NET and deploy it to Azure. Let have one where you build a survey application, etc. Learning technologies is great, but I'd love to see courses where the goal is to build a particular type of application.

Having completed a couple of sessions, I find it reasonably intuitive to use. I also believe with increasing use it would be even easier to navigate find and consume content.

Initial experience with reporting and progress monitoring for my staff is perhaps the least used feature for me at this time and consequently the part I am least familiar with.

Each feedback I do for them, I get no response. Minimal communication and followups!

I haven't used any learning platform like CBT Nuggets yet

Before using Pluralsight, staff was using YouTube to help them with developing certain aspects of their knowledge. However, YouTube is much less structured/organized than Pluralsight. Pluralsight has a very wide offering of courses and it has lot of good content. One quick search and we can get started.

• One positive impact is it has kept our employees engaged in the material they work with every day. Instead of becoming stagnant and complacent, they are actively searching out ways to develop skills and do more with the tools available to them.
• It saves money when it comes to offering training and development opportunities company-wide. It would be much more costly to invest in specialized training for that number of employees.
• One potential negative is the amount of company time spent on coursework over work responsibilities. A balance must be struck and individuals should be encouraged to explore the training on their own time.
