Whether your goals for 2025 or 2026 include getting certified, keeping up with AI and agents, or simply sharpening the skills you rely on every single day, this is the best week of the year to invest in yourself. A ton of top training providers are running Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and some of them are as high as 60% to 80% off, which means you can save hundreds of dollars on world-class learning. These offers are limited-time, so move fast. In this video, I’ll break down the best learning deals you should know about for Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025.

Let’s start with the platform I know best—Pluralsight. I’ll admit I’m a bit biased because I’ve created over a hundred courses on Pluralsight and have zero plans of slowing down. But there’s a reason I keep building there: it’s one of the best places to learn if you want real IT skills that actually move your career forward. If your goal is to get certified—Microsoft, Google, AWS, CompTIA, or security—Pluralsight gives you structured learning paths, certification prep, practice tests, and everything you need in one place. If you’re trying to update your cloud skills, especially on providers like Azure or fundamental IT skills, the cloud hands-on labs let you practice safely without breaking anything in production. Honestly, the labs alone justify the subscription for most IT professionals.

Now, the Black Friday deal this year is pretty wild. You can take 60% off your Pluralsight plan, dropping the full annual subscription from $468 down to $187—that’s $280 saved. You can choose a cheaper plan than the complete plan if you want, but at this price, I’d grab the complete one because it unlocks everything, including all of my upcoming Microsoft 365 Copilot certification courses. For individual plans, use the code BLACKFRIDAY60 at checkout. I’ve also added a quick link in the YouTube description so you can jump straight to it. If you’re buying for a team or your whole company, you can save 40% on business plans. Those come with advanced features like admin analytics, team insights, and the ability to create custom company channels. For that offer, use code BLACKFRIDAY40 at checkout. Again, you’ll find the link in the description. And if you’ve got someone in your family who wants to break into IT, this is honestly one of the best gifts you can give them. A full year of Pluralsight at this price gives them access to certifications, cloud skills, hands-on labs, and a clear roadmap into the industry. It’s the kind of investment that can change someone’s career trajectory—and Black Friday makes that gift affordable.

Next up is Udemy. Most of you already know it as the giant independent marketplace where you can find courses on pretty much anything—cloud, security, Python, taxes, woodworking, social media, you name it. Right now, many of their courses are up to 80% off for Black Friday. If you use the link in the description, you’ll see tech courses dropping to $9.99 USD or about $12.99 Canadian, which is a fantastic price point if you want to learn something very specific. One quick caution, though: unlike Pluralsight, Udemy doesn’t vet authors. Anyone can sign up and publish a course, which means quality can vary a lot. So, check the reviews, preview the content, and pick instructors with proven ratings before you buy.

Next, we have IW Mentor by Laura Rogers—an incredible Microsoft MVP who’s been teaching Power Apps and Power Automate long before the Power Platform became this popular. Her training is practical, hands-on, and perfect if you want to build real solutions without getting lost in technical jargon. Her Black Friday sale runs from November 28 to December 5, and you’ll be able to save 40% on all her courses. You’ll find a link in the description so you can jump in as soon as it opens. If you want a preview of how awesome she is, I recently posted a video with Laura from the Power Platform Community Conference, and I’ll drop that link too.

Finally, we have Voitanos by Microsoft MVP Andrew Connell—hands down one of the best trainers in the Microsoft 365 developer space. If you want to learn the SharePoint Framework, Teams development, or build extensibility for Microsoft 365 Copilot, his resources are the gold standard. When people ask me where to start as an M365 developer, Voitanos is always first on the list. For Black Friday, he’s running a sale from November 28 to December 5: everything is 30% off, and for the first 24 hours, it’s 42% off—so even better. If your goal is to learn M365 development, that first day is the best time to grab it.

Make the most of these offers, and if you want to keep learning, check out my video on everything you need to know about the new Microsoft 365 Copilot certifications. It breaks down the three new certifications and two new applied skills Microsoft just released, so you know exactly where to focus next. And of course, subscribe to the channel—I’ve got a lot more content coming on certifications, M365, and the Power Platform. See you there!
