Why Pay $2,000 for the Same Certification Training?

Overpriced Alternatives
Some courses charge over $2,000 for PL-300 certification preparation simply because they target corporate budgets.
Missing the Human Touch
While they may offer live instruction, their content mirrors ours—but without the personal touches and community support you’ll find at Collab365.
Premium Training, Smart Pricing
At just $697, we combine the premium features of high-priced courses (like live training and hands-on labs) with affordability, making it accessible for professionals investing in their own career growth.

Jon (Collab365 Coach)

I'll be blunt: that self-paced course you bought last year ... it's still sitting in your inbox, isn't it? Right next to your "30 Days to Six-Pack Abs" subscription.

At Collab365 we've trained thousands of professionals, and know one thing to be true above all others: accountability drives results. When you know you're meeting your instructor live "next Tuesday" to solve real problems with other learners, with discussions and ideas being shared, you don't just sit and watch—you engage.

And let's talk cost vs reward: At $697, you're getting the same intensive, live training that others charge $2,000+ for. Why? Because we believe transformative education shouldn't require a corporate training budget. You or your company get a premium experience—live problem-solving, real-world applications, and instant feedback—without the premium price tag.

This isn't another course that sits unfinished in your Learning Management System. This is you, showing up, building skills, and driving results. Together.
