I used PluralSight for one of my Azure exams and passed it, but they didn't have the courses for newer exams so I went to Whizlabs.
Only paid £40 for a course and 1 practice exam, however YMMV.
One thing I know from training companies is how they can somehow knock 50% off their prices listed online.

Everything you need to learn pretty much any technology is already available online for free and a github account with a few personal projects will impress employers a lot more than a bunch of e-certificates.
Citing such 'qualifications' makes your LinkedIn profile or CV look like Colonel Gaddafi's uniform.

No point spending it on the self learn courses. They need a bit of nous and effort to complete.

They won't pay for things like glorified youtube videos etc.
