Learning ICT, I need tips!

[Rotterdams]

Hi all,

 

I work in the ICT and want to learn more so I can find a better job later on.

 

I wanted to begin with Windows Server 2016.

But books are too damn boring sadly.

 

I see many use CBT nuggets, Lynda and Pluralsight to learn (online videos).

 

Many say CBT nuggets is the best (online forums etc).

But 80$ per month is way too much!

Why is Lynda and Pluralsight so much cheaper compared to CBT nuggets?

 

And if i sign up on one of these 3 can I get my Windows certificate trough just these online materials?

 

I am a starter and young so I need to build it up with babysteps.

I thought about getting certificates in the following branches of Microsoft:

 

1-) Windows Server 2016

2-) Hyper-V Server 2016

3-) Exchange Server 2016

4-) Azure

...

 

Any kind of tip is welcome!

 

Sorry for my bad English im from Europe.

You can't get microsoft cert's through solely online courses - how do i know? We have them at work. You must go to a physical course and a physical test

I have older certificate of Windows server.

I learned online at home and then made the exam at a exam location.

Well, you only NEED the test. The test-vouchers can be bought on their own. They don't care where you got your knowledge from, as long as you get the required points in the test.
