To gain access, you need to create an account (for free), and you can start browsing the many classes available right away.
What is Pluralsight?
Pluralsight is an online learning platform that teaches individuals and businesses technological skills through video learning. The platform is designed for those who want to change careers or teach businesses in the workforce how to become more technologically savvy.
If you want to learn how to be anything from a software developer to an IT administrator, there’s probably a course for you. The classes come with official certificates for the skills you learn through the courses.
The online courses range from beginners to advanced classes and use a project-based, hands-on approach over a more theoretical approach that you would find in a general academic classroom.
