Online Video Training Sources Needed
Looking for references for online video subsciptions. VTC is pretty good, with affordable monthly subscriptions. $30 a month for all access, but a few of the courses are a bit out of date.(ie CCNA is for 640-801, not 640-802). YouTube has many, but the video quality is usualy too poor to be of use. CBT Nugetts is good, but…
