pluralsight v cbtnuggets
Discussion
I have used both.
The two training courses from CBTnuggets I have done are
ICND1 - Jeremy Charles
VMware Vsphere 6 - Keith Barker
OK they both have the same style BUT
both courses are excellent
they are both great extensive courses and the the trainers are excellent.
previous to these courses I would read books and fall asleep.
On the Pluralsight side I have done
Differences between Azure and AWS - Tim Warner - another brilliant course and trainer
and many many others
Of the two Pluralsight is a lot cheaper $300 per year compared to $85 per month. That was one of the reasons I switched. The other reason was that Pluralsight have thousands of courses some I have done just to broaden knowledge in areas that I really wouldn't use.

Thanks for that! Is the premium worth paying for over the standard? http://join.itpro.tv/twit-new/ (Deal comes from a podcast I listen to)

Thanks for this. Is this restricted to certain courses? https://www.visualstudio.com/dev-essentials/?rr=ht...

Depends on which courses you want to do really. The practice exams are handy and some labs can be. For Microsoft courses you can easily setup your own lab environment in Virtualbox or use the technet labs but it isn't so easy for some other vendors. Also depends what kind of learner you are. I learn best by being hands on but others can learn just by watching the video and reading a course textbook. I expect they are both excellent
Haven't used cbt nuggets but used to use plural sight back when it was trainsignal and pay per video. I think $30 for access to all of them for a month is incredible value. Personally I think these courses are much better than paying thousands for some firebrand style training camp. I wish something like their storage+ course had been around back in the day!
