What our learners say

It feels like the best and the brightest people are training with you — and they are just hanging out with you and showing you the ropes.
John McCann | IT manager and CBT Nuggets learner
Having access to on-demand labs that I could spin up instantly was very helpful. I didn’t have to have a home environment with a bunch of virtual machines spun up. Or worry about destroying things.
Brian V. | Monitoring Engineer
Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.
