I had the opportunity to take the CCNA Security 210-260 course on uCertify and I had an amazing UX. It was a hands-on learning process! I enjoyed one of the tools; the study card drills which helped me get familiar with the terminologies, definitions, and concepts associated with each topic I'm learning. Other tools like the pre-assessment, exercises, quizzes, etc are all geared to provide an effective learning process for the learner. I would recommend uCertify to anyone who wants to get an IT certification.
