If you are prepping for an IT exam right now, or are just interesting in expanding your skills without taking exams, and are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can watch a number of IT related training videos for free on Amazon's website.
You find plenty of free IT courses on YouTube and other video hosting sites. Amazon Video, or Amazon Prime Video, the part of Amazon Video included in Prime subscriptions, is not particularly known for being a training videos source, let alone one for IT related training videos and courses.
Part of the reason why that is the case is that it is particularly difficult to find these videos; they do exist, but you need to know the right search terms to find them.
I stumbled upon them by accident while searching for the movie 300 on Amazon. The search returned the original 300 movie and the successor, but also training videos which was kind of unexpected as I never thought that you could find these on Amazon Video.
Note: Some courses are from 2015 or 2016. While you may still get a lot out of these courses, things may have changed and learning material and exams updated in the meantime.
Without further ado, here is a list of IT training videos that you can watch on Amazon Video:
Now You: Found other courses that you can watch for free on Amazon Video? Do you know of other free sources to watch IT training videos?

Martin, great tip! Beyond your list there are many other courses to find. Might be better than Udemy.
I have access to an Amazon.com Prime subscription.
Unfortunately, Amazon.com no longer allows the viewing of the videos without the use of other, oftentimes problematic, software such as Microsoft Silverlight. I wherefore cannot watch the videos.
Use Chrome they play fine without any add ons or plug ins.
