Online IT education sites?

Our company uses ITPro.tv. Seems pretty good. I'm currently using LinuxAcademy for myself.

I've seen a couple of sites mentioned for training in the IT field.
I probably missed a ton though. What others are worth looking at?This is the list so far (in alphabetical order):
Udemy is pretty good...they run sales often (if they are really "sales") and most of the purchased courses I've taken have been very good.
I like that you own the class for life. Some other places strictly use subscription model, and if you do not use for a couple months, it costs you money. With Udemy you can go back anytime and view your course with no out of pocket expense once purchased.

Might have to look at them- I have used PluralSight before though

Been using udemy a lot lately and really like it. Definitely wait for a sale if you can. Their pricing model is really weird.
The only thing I have had an issue with is that the quizing/test sections aren't available offline in the mobile app.

I've been a pretty satisfied paying customer of Pluralsight customer for a few years now.
Another option could be: https://subscribe.packtpub.com/
A different take, could be interesting for you.As for Udemy, they have "issues":

While that article is from 2015, it seems that not a lot has changed:

And the courses are kept up to date as well.

Personally I will spend my money elsewhere.Not Udemy.
YouTube has pirated stuff on it as well for a while until they can get to it. It's not an easy thing to prevent when anyone can upload content unless each and ever video is reviewed, and they have checked the internet thoroughly for duplicate videos, which would be hard to find since they would have to be a member of other sites to check in the first place.

That sounds like a problem for instructors, not students. I did have a course pulled by an instructor because he decided to do his own learning platform. Udemy actually refunded me even though I already took the course.
From a buyer side, there isn't a lot to lose. There's alot of competition between instructors on there so content seems to be better than other sites

I've just recently heard of INE https://ine.com/

I really like Pluralsight. The Udemy courses I've taken have been okay, but haven't really been designed in a way to optimize learning.
