7 Tips To Find The Perfect Pluralsight Course
Like the majority of elearning platforms, there are some specific ways to find out if Pluralsight is the right platform for you. I thought it would be helpful to highlight some tips to help you make that decision.
Free Account
Pluralsight does give you the option to create a free account which gives you access to a library of 50+ courses, assessments and guides. Plus the added perk of the Skill and Role IQ.

Pluralsight free account
This will give you a taste of the platform, but if you feel the limited courses available aren’t enough, then it’s probably worth signing up for the free trial as you will have access to the full library that is 7500+ courses (I talk in more detail about this all below).
Free Trial
Pluralsight offers a 10-day free trial or 200 minutes of content, whichever comes first. It offers free trials for Individual and Premium subscriptions which gives you access to all skills video courses, create channels, certificates of completion, take Skill iQ assessments and take notes.

Pluralsight free trial
The course downloads, and offline viewing are only available to paid subscribers. If you do decide to purchase a subscription, you’ll be able to download video courses and watch them offline.
If you decide to continue with a paid subscription when your free trial expires, you will be charged on the 11th calendar day. For example, if you started your free trial on June 5th, you will be charged on June 15th.
However, if you decide to cancel your trial subscription you just need to go to the Subscription & Billing tab on your Account page and click Manage your subscription and then click Cancel. Once you have canceled your subscription, you will lose access to all the content.
Skill IQ
Pluralsight offers a Skill IQ with its free account subscription, which takes only 10 minutes and consists of 20 questions. The Skill IQ is to measure your proficiency in your chosen technology skill. You are then given a score from 0 to 300, and your percentile result is broken into 3 levels of either Novice, Proficient and Expert.

Pluralsight skill IQ
This Skill IQ will identify your knowledge gaps and strengths and the result will tell you where to start with your learning path, so you develop the skills you need the most.

Pluralsight skill IQ skill assessments
Role IQ
Similar to Skill IQ, you can also assess yourself with Role IQ which will measure your skills relevant for a specific role. For example, if you wanted to assess your skills for the role of a “Cloud Architect (Google Cloud)” your skills would be measured to determine if you’re a Level 1, 2 or 3, and then you can focus on the skills you are lacking to further your career.

Pluralsight Role IQ
Pluralsight offers 50+ Role IQ for specific roles. The best part about it is once you have worked on the areas of knowledge you are lacking, you can retake the Role IQ and see how much you have grown.

Pluralsight role IQ available roles
Free weekly courses
Another feature which makes Pluralsight stand out from the crowd is its five free weekly courses which change on rotation every week.

Pluralsight free weekly courses
Each week it has a new focus. You are shown the schedule for that week and the upcoming weeks. For example, This week – Data. Another great way to sample Pluralsight’s courses.
Pluralsight Authors
When you click on your chosen course or path you will have the option to select About, where you will see a list of Authors who have all contributed to the course or path. You can read a small bio about the author and follow them on Twitter and LinkedIn if you want to find out more. You will also be shown with a list of content they have authored with reviews, which personally I think is the most helpful part.

Pluralsight Author
If you click on the Follow button in blue you will receive updates of when they release new content. Which can be pretty helpful if you like the sound of the author and want to keep track of other courses they are working on.
Resource Center
The Resource Center is a great place for new users and offers features like Articles and Customer Stories. The Podcasts are an interesting addition and offer episodes on ‘Learning to code and embracing failure’ and ‘Team building and growth’ to name a few. You can listen to these episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast and RSS feed.

PluralSight is not good any longer. New courses and some new instructors are not good enough. They don’t go in detail. Some only do PPT slides kind of things, Only theoretical not practical demo at all, and they only do briefing points. Specially some M365 courses are useless. From their courses, look like they are M365 salesman instead of technical instructors.
Sorry to hear this Raj. Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s helpful to future users 🙂
I would like to know if Pluralsight have a talent market place
