The most important onboarding training is the part no off-the-shelf catalog covers.
Your team's SOPs, runbooks, policies, and tools are the single biggest onboarding tax for every new hire. Internal Training turns the documents you already have into structured, assessable courses with per-learner completion records — so the things only your team knows become things every new hire can prove they know. The curated CBT Nuggets catalog below covers the vendor and certification baselines that layer on top.

Why this is the first step
Off-the-shelf catalogs cover certifications and vendor stacks. They can’t cover the part of your stack only you have. The fastest path to a new hire being productive is making that knowledge structured, assignable, and provable.

If an auditor asked tomorrow, could you prove every new hire understands the part of your stack only your team knows?
Off-the-shelf catalogs cover certifications and vendor stacks. They can't cover your SOPs, your tooling, your runbooks, your regulatory interpretations. Signed acknowledgements aren't comprehension. And manually authoring a course for every proprietary system isn't realistic. The upskilling program that actually moves the onboarding curve starts by documenting what only your team knows — then layers vendor and certification training on top.

Capabilities
What you get to run onboarding and upskilling on one platform
Internal Training (lead capability)
Upload any document — policy, SOP, runbook, architecture guide, regulatory interpretation — and Internal Training builds a structured course with narrated video, comprehension checks, and a graded assessment in under 5 minutes. Assign to a group, capture per-learner completion records, export for audit. 100% private to your organization; sits alongside the CBT Nuggets catalog in one playlist, one report, one learner experience.
Per-learner completion records
Pre- and post-assessment scores, question-level responses, time-on-task, and signed completion attestations — for both internal and CBT Nuggets training. CSV and PDF exports go straight into HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, and internal-governance evidence packages.
Tenant-isolated, never shared
Internal courseware is stored and delivered inside your tenant. Content is never used to train shared models and never accessible to other customers. SAML SSO with your identity provider, role-based admin/author/learner permissions, and SOC 2-grade access controls are standard.
Custom playlists across internal + CBT Nuggets content
Bundle your internal courses with vendor and certification training (A+, Network+, Security+, AZ-104, Azure Fundamentals, Linux administration) into a single assignable onboarding path. New hires get one experience; admins get one report.
Hands-on virtual labs on the curated baseline
Every CBT Nuggets cert path the new hire works through is paired with real enterprise labs — Azure subscriptions, Cisco IOS, Red Hat servers. Lets engineers apply the foundations they're learning before they touch production.
Expert-authored cert and skill paths
On top of your internal courseware, the curated CBT Nuggets catalog gives the vendor-neutral baseline every IT generalist needs — authored and taught by named trainers who have actually carried the pager, not crowd-sourced contributors.

Why teams choose CBT Nuggets
How upskilling on CBT Nuggets compares
| Dimension | CBT Nuggets | Generic alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Proprietary-knowledge coverage | Internal Training turns your own SOPs, runbooks, and policies into assignable courses with per-learner completion records in minutes | Generic catalogs cover certifications only; proprietary content is left to shadowing or manual LMS authoring |
| Per-learner audit evidence | Pre/post-assessment scores, question-level responses, and signed completion attestations — across internal and catalog training in one report | Watch-time metrics or signed acknowledgements that auditors discount |
| Course authorship | Internal courses generated from your docs; curated catalog built by named expert trainers paid full-time to teach | Crowd-sourced or contractor-authored — quality and depth vary course to course |
| Hands-on practice on the baseline | Virtual labs in real enterprise environments paired with every CBT Nuggets cert path | Video-only or sandbox simulators that don't match production reality |
| Privacy of proprietary content | Tenant-isolated storage and delivery; internal content never used to train shared models | Authoring tools that mingle customer content with shared corpora, or LMS hosts with limited tenant guarantees |
