"Convenient, User‑Friendly Training for IT Certification Prep"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

Studying for exams is very convenient with CBT Nuggets, especially because I can watch lessons on my phone, even while relaxing in bed. The platform remembers exactly where I left off, which makes it easy to continue learning without wasting time searching for the right spot. The user interface is clean and intuitive, making the overall experience smooth and user‑friendly, and a noticeable improvement after switching from Udemy. The initial setup process was quick and straightforward, allowing me to start studying almost immediately.

From an integration perspective, CBT Nuggets works well across devices and browsers, which makes it easy to fit learning into my daily routine without needing extra tools or configurations. Access is seamless whether I’m on mobile or desktop, which supports continuous learning.

In terms of pricing and ROI, the subscription provides good value due to the depth and quality of the content. Having access to structured courses and expert‑led explanations helps me prepare more efficiently for exams, saving time compared to piecing together material from multiple sources.

The platform also benefits from intelligent features, such as progress tracking and personalized learning paths, which help guide what to focus on next. These features make studying more targeted and reduce wasted time, especially when preparing for certification exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

While CBT Nuggets is very convenient and easy to use, some courses could benefit from more depth, especially for advanced or real‑world scenarios. A few topics feel high‑level and may require additional external resources to fully prepare for more complex exams or hands‑on implementation.

From a pricing perspective, the subscription can feel expensive for individual users if it’s not used consistently, which makes it more suitable for ongoing learning rather than occasional course access.

In terms of features, while progress tracking is helpful, more advanced customization or AI‑driven recommendations based on weak areas would further improve the learning experience. Additional integrations with external labs or tools would also add more practical value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

Thanks so much for the thorough review, Stiaan; this is great to hear! Seamless cross-device access and structured learning paths are things we've put a lot of thought into, so it's great to know they're making a real difference in your prep. Your feedback on course depth and AI-driven recommendations is well taken — both are areas we're actively investing in. And you're right that the subscription shines most for consistent learners, so we're always looking at ways to make that ongoing value clearer upfront. Thank you for learning with us, and good luck with your certification goals!

"Excellent Content Catalogue and Easy Onboarding"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

The platform has a fantastic course catalogue providing excellent value for money compared to stand alone courses from vendors. The support and onboarding is fantastic and it has been seamless to set out company up on the platform. I like the visibility the UI provides me of my team use and how easy it is for suers to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

The biggest downside for me is that it isn't integrated with Azure AD allowing me to automatically scale licences with a user group and leverage SSO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! Seamless onboarding and team visibility are areas we've invested heavily in, so it's great to hear that's paying off for you and your team.

"Comprehensive Learning with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I like that CBT Nuggets not only offers videos but also includes study aids such as note cards and practice exams. This is really helpful, especially because some sections introduce new concepts with vocabulary that I'm not familiar with. CBT Nuggets helps me create flashcards for those and review them. The practice exams allow me to get a feel for the actual test. The initial setup of CBT Nuggets was very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

Some analogies were too simplistic and felt like they dumbed down the content a lot. I didn't like explanations such as using a car stop sign and blinker to explain concepts. I would have preferred the details right away with their technical scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts; we're glad to hear that that flashcards and practice exams have been helpful in your training journey. Thank you for learning with us and being part of our community!

"Comprehensive, Flexible Learning with CBT Nuggets"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I really like that CBT Nuggets is well organized. There are a lot of certifications and courses available, providing a very broad range. I also appreciate that the content is in small sections, so I can do some coursework without committing half an hour or more. I can easily work in five, ten, or fifteen-minute sections, which makes it a lot easier to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

I honestly can't hink of anything negative to say about CBT Nuggets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

This is exactly why we create training the way we do; bite-sized content that fits into a real workday, across the topics you and your team actually need to know. Thanks for the kind words, and for learning with us, Jonathan!

"Bite-Size “Nuggets” Are Great, but Certification Updates Need to Come Faster"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I like the "nugget" format. Small, bite-size videos to help you grasp a concept, without being too long and boring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

I wished that new content was delivered faster. For instance, I'm currently studying for the CLCOR exam. Version 2.0 of the exam was launched in February of this year, but the CBT Nuggets content is still at version 1.1 months later. Please keep pace with the certifications, as I do not feel prepared to take the exam next month without the updated content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

Thank you for your feedback; we hear you. When you're actively preparing for an exam with a hard deadline, waiting on updated content isn't just frustrating, it's a real obstacle. While we can't always match a vendor's release date on day one, feedback like yours directly informs how we prioritize our content roadmap. Please reach out to us directly on our website or social media if there's anything we can do to support your exam prep in the meantime! Thank you for learning with us.

"Engaging, Well-Structured CCNA Training with Clear Explanations"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I like Cisco CCNA 100-105 in CBT Nuggets, the video lessons are interesting, and the Jeremy Cloara explains even difficult networking topics in a way that is easy to understand. The course structure is well-organized, covering everything from basic networking fundamentals to advanced routing and switching. I especially like that the videos are short and focused, making it easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

Honestly, there is nothing I really dislike. But the cost is quite high compared to other learning platforms like Udemy, which often offer big discounts. CBT Nuggets charges around $60 per month, but it’s hard to finish a full course in just one month. So, this part feels a bit expensive for me as a long-term learner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from April Saylor of CBT Nuggets

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback. We hear you on the monthly price issue, which is why we're working on a new pricing structure that will allow learners to pay on a per-course basis -- accessing just the course you need, and not the full library. We hope this makes cert prep more affordable for everyone. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!

"CBT Nuggets is amazing!"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

CBT Nuggets has the most up-to-date and current trainings you can find on all sorts of exams, from CompTIA to Microsoft to ISC2, you can literally find everything. The training videos are very detailed and informative and helped to learn more about what is on the A+ exam. The trainers are also very knowledgeable and know their stuff! I highly recommend CBT Nuggets to anyone who is looking for excellent quality training on all of the exams! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

The only thing I dislike about CBT Nuggets is that it’s not free. I do like that they offer a trial period of 7 days; however, I just wish the plans were more affordable at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive but could be better"
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

Following my CCNA certification, I wanted to achieve my CCNP certification and when I reached out to my CCNA instructor (Neil Anderson website), it recommended me CBT Nuggets and Jeff Kish explanation has been the best in the CCNP ENCOR 350-401 v1.1 course.

Also, the automation and programmability section needs a bit more topics to be included. All I would say is Cisco isn’t just all about basics of programming for Automation (cannot say more due to my NDA Agreement 😅).

I would definitely recommend CBT NUGGETS as a go to source for all professional level and higher level courses but for me, I wish Jeff Kish was the only instructor 😅. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

It could have been best for me to have Jeff Kish explain all the topics himself. Having multiple instructors for a course, made it difficult for me to understand what others were saying as I felt they were speaking a lot faster and their explanation and clarification techniques were a bit too straightforward (like just reading out a textbook).

This was the only downside for me during my time I have given to complete the course on CCNP ENCOR 350-401 v1.1 on CBT NUGGETS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Trevor Swatek of CBT Nuggets
