I came to know about uCertify which provides a resource for different I.T courses and for almost all certifications and their resource is designed in such a way that beginner can also learn a lot and prepare for A+ certification.

Overall review is good. Enjoyed the pre-test which took me an hour and then used 45 minutes to review. I tend to be a slow reader so others most likely can expect to complete faster. The results of the pre-test provided good explanations and links to modules for learning and for some provided links to additional reading on the internet. I found the explanations well suited for a beginner and for those who have been away from break/fix was a good refresher.
Arthur Briscoe
excellent
I recently had the opportunity to study the Comprehensive Computer Technician (CompTIA A+ 220–1001/1002) course and performance labs provided by uCertify. To start, this course was one of the most in-depth courses I have ever taken. Right off the bat, you challenged with a Pre Assessment to gauge your current knowledge.
