My advice is if you want strong material in a course that benefits greatly from labbing, such as CCNA or MCSA, the $60/mo is a drop in the bucket for the extra money you'll make and the time you'll save vs trying to duplicate a good lab environment at home - especially when you're newish and setting up a good GNS3/Windows Server environment is a struggle by itself.Īnything where you don't need labs, where the uDemy course has quality labs available, where you verified course quality and instructor cred, etc - yep, good way to save a few bucks and own your study material. CBT, you can pretty much assume whatever course you sign up for has quality labs, easy to understand, logical flow, clear speech, good editing, etc. There are some great courses too, but you really have to examine the material to make sure it's something of value before buying. They both have strong points and they're both very affordable for most IT folks (not everyone of course if your finances are in bad shape uDemy and Youtube are definitely cheaper - but also cost more time overhead).ĬBT has great labs curated by real professionals uDemy courses are often just Youtube videos with a quiz by people with old/bad info, poor presenters, hard to understand, rambling, etc. System Administration, Networking & Help Deskįor Computer Science Career Questions: /r/cscareerquestionsįalse dichotomy.

(both setting it up with Windows Active Directory as well as Linux servers, etc.).Īnother area which I would love to see courses, virtual labs, etc. I would also like to see courses offered on setting up a Radius (or better, its replacement, "Diameter") server along with the various types of authentication and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Federation, X.509, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), TACACS+, etc. that really drills down into such topics in an in-depth sort of way, e.g., with a lot of labs to setup all of the aforementioned.
the CompTIA Security+ exam does, but alas, I have not (yet) found any courses on this site, Udemy, Pluralsight, CBT Nuggets, etc. I have looked on Udemy and other sites for a specific course that really drills down into the aforementioned topics in a far deeper way vs. While the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 does cover the EAP framework, e.g., PEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, MS-CHAPV2, IEEE 802.1X, etc., this exam over covers such topics in a broad overview way IMO.
