Anyone used CBTNuggets or similar sites for Certification training?

I am looking to update my certs and get a bunch of new ones.  I currently have old versions of A+, Net+, Security+, ITIL, MCP (Win XP), CCENT.

 

I have looked around on the web for a while, and it's hard to get straight answers about a lot of the course websites.  I am looking for simply good videos for the easier courses, but I want labs for any of the courses that require much more hands on knowledge.  I would do some bootcamps, but none are offered in my area, and I can't take the time off work to go to the nearest major city.  I have tried to take the CCNA test a couple times, and I always get tripped up on the performance demonstration questions; since I can study a book, and watch a video, but can't find any good labs.  I built myself a small CCNA lab a while back but I had no idea how to test myself on it.  And it's hard to break it in such a way that I don't know how I broke it.  So I can't really test myself in fixing it.

 

Does anyone know of any good websites for getting training that also offers decent labs?  Or at least where to get labs?  Or if there are any night time online bootcamps or something.  I am not against paying for assistance, but would rather not shell out insane amounts, ~$100 a month is about what I am willing to pay, unless the service really is that awesome.
 

I find it rather hard to teach myself what I don't know, since I most often don't realize what it is I don't know.  And it can be hard to make mock tests or labs for yourself if you don't actually truly understand the material.

 

My immediate Cert goals are to get updated Net+ and Sec+, and then to get MS server and win 7/8 certs, along with CCNA.

 

Thanks for any help.
