Online training

[OCP]

There are a few things I would like to brush up my skills on + work is very happy to pay for it
But... as a single parent I have limited time available (mainly evenings after kids are in bed) and am also not able to disappear from work for days/weeks at a time to go to courses (Average Torque IT course is 5 days)

CBT Nuggets looks like they cover some of the courses I am looking for (Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, Citrix)
Does anyone making use of Lynda / Pluralsight know if their courses are comparable?

Any other online training suggestions?

Thanks!

I was studying through IT Academy a few years ago. I think it depends on what you want to study. I have found a good amount of content on youtube which I think could also be used for studying, I was looking for solutions though ha ha, not study material.

Goodluck

CBT Nuggets is good, but mostly as supplementary content to books or a course. I haven't used Lynda or Pluralsight myself. I normally prefer self study with the books, then some practical exercises on a virtualized environment.
