"CBT Nuggets for CCNA Cert"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

The CBT Nuggets series for the CCNA exam did an overall very good job explaining the material. Most videos were easy to understand and follow. The biggest benefit however is the inclusion of labs with the course. The labs did an exceptional job giving me hands on experience with the CLI and getting a better understanding of each topic through hands on experience. I feel very prepared for the exam after running through the videos and labs especially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

There were some video topics that I feel missed the mark. Primarily the last few regarding the automation and programmability section of the exam. I don't believe these videos were in depth enough to cover all of the material. Luckily, for v1.1 that section is only worth 10% of the exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CBT Nuggets Helped Me Earn My CCNA, a Promotion, and the Respect of My Team"
5/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I’ve used a variety of IT training platforms, but none have come close to the quality and real-world impact of CBT Nuggets. I began my journey with their Network+ course, which helped me pass that exam with confidence. But the real transformation came with their CCNA 200-301 training—a certification I recently completed thanks to CBT Nuggets, and one that led directly to a promotion and a 12% raise.

The content is incredibly well-structured, and the instructors do more than just teach—they explain, relate, and engage. The videos helped complex networking topics truly click for me, and I appreciated being able to rewind, rewatch, and lab alongside the lessons at my own pace. It felt less like memorizing and more like learning in a way that sticks.

Since earning my CCNA, I’ve been trusted with more responsibilities at work, and my colleagues now treat me as someone they can count on for deeper technical insight. It’s made a huge difference in both my career and my confidence.

Now I’m tackling the Cisco CyberOps Associate course, and I’ve already enrolled in Python for Network Engineers, CCNP ENCOR, PCNSE, and F5 Application Delivery Fundamentals. With CBT Nuggets, learning doesn’t feel like a chore—it feels like forward momentum.

If you’re looking for a training platform that not only prepares you for certification exams but also transforms how you show up in your career, CBT Nuggets is the real deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

While the training content is excellent, there are two key gaps that stand out:

• There’s no course available for CLICA 300-820, which is the concentration I need to complete my CCNP Collaboration certification. It’s a major part of the Cisco track and its absence is disappointing.

• There’s no official CBT Nuggets app for iPhone or Android, which makes mobile learning far less convenient. Being able to study on the go is essential, and a polished, supported mobile app would go a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Training with Great Content, but Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

I really like how the videos are broken down into short, focused segments—it makes the content easier to digest and revisit. The instructors explain things clearly and use real-world examples, which helps connect the dots. I also appreciate the hands-on labs and built-in quizzes that test your knowledge as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

Sometimes the platform feels a little outdated in terms of layout and user interface. It can also be tricky to find specific content quickly, especially if you’re looking for something buried in a longer course. A better search function or more detailed transcripts would definitely help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whiteboard-Style Instruction That Feels Like Learning with a Peer"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

The instructors use a "whiteboard" style that feels like a peer explaining a concept to you at a desk, rather than a dry academic lecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

High subscription cost. It is significantly more expensive than competitors like Pluralsight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bailey Hopp of CBT Nuggets

Thank you for your feedback, and for learning with us! The "peer at a whiteboard" feeling is exactly what we aim for; we're so glad it's landing. On cost, we hear you. We're always working to make sure the depth and quality of our courses justify the investment!

"Game Changer!"
5/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

It was a game-changer for my CCNA preparation—the video lessons were clear, concise, and packed with real-world examples that made even the tougher concepts easier to understand. The trainers have a great way of explaining things without overwhelming you, which was key for me while balancing work and study.

Now that I'm working through ENCOR (Cisco Enterprise Core), CBT Nuggets is once again proving to be an essential part of my learning toolkit. The course structure, practice exams, and virtual labs keep me engaged and help reinforce everything I’m learning. It’s like having a mentor on demand.

If you’re serious about Cisco certifications—or IT in general—CBT Nuggets is worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

No offline downloads is the only issue I have had with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from April Saylor of CBT Nuggets

We're happy to hear that CBT Nuggets is making studying easier for you and helping you balance work and life. It's great to know you're loving those clear, to-the-point videos during your CCNA journey and are keeping you on track with ENCOR.

"CBT Nuggets and you"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CBT Nuggets?

CBT Nuggets is a great resource for those starting out or just trying to keep current with today's tech. They way instructors break down there coarse and the information to easy to digest segments. The way they are set up allows you to study at your pace. The lab tools are great and dont require you to install anything which means i can work on alot of machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CBT Nuggets?

My only complain would be you can just use CBTNugget as a one stop shop for passing certs you will need more but you should never really put all your eggs in on basket anyways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
