While I haven't tried it, the LinuxAcademy seemed a inexpensive potential option.Udemy is a terrific location to learn new skills and progress your career, but it’s not ideal. I'd also say they're seeming very light on Linux, so you'd need to add something else on for that.

I was hoping there'd be more higher end stuff also, but so far not really. That all said, there's bound to be something you need the basics on in their catalog, for me it'd be the Apple stuff. I need to figure out what in my browser (UMatrix setting somewhere) is blocking the show notes from showing up, because you can probably scan the show notes to see if it's worth your time. An example of the content in the Risk Management video is "You can have acceptable use policies to help manage risk". It's under 10% new knowledge so far on Security + for instance, and I'm 5 or 6 videos in. I assume if I knew more about certs, I'd find ones that didn't have so much very entry level info in the courses, but so far I'm struggling to actually learn much from the course. I find that ITProTV seems to be very cert focused though. They also have a pretty good yearly price - I heard about it from the Security Now podcast, and they sometimes have promotions. PS - TrainSignal is now part of Pluralsight and Pluralsight has their catalogue. But because of CTBNuggets' price ($99/user/month) you can get both Lynda and Pluralsight and still have money left over. Honestly I'd likely be happy to just recommend CTBNuggets for a SysAdmin and Pluralsight for a programmer/full stack. Way more SysAdmin/networking focused catalogue, and have some content Pluralsight does not have.

Because it is a lot more personable than Pluralsight's academic style you'll find certain trainers you love/hate. Some of the trainers get a little sidetracked and some courses/videos can run too long. Like you have a more experienced colleague sitting next to you teaching you shit. CBTNuggets: Feels a lot more "mentorship" than Pluralsight.The best place around for programming courses, but they have a lot of SysAdmin/networking stuff too. The content's quality varies a bit, and I feel like the instructors have a very academic style. They merged with a bunch of other companies and absorbed their catalogues. Likely have the smallest technical catalogue of the three, but the content they do have is high quality. Legitimately good for non-technical content.
