Customer Testimonials

This course includes a variety of learning materials including a pre-assessment exam, chapter lessons, performance-based activities, several large-bank practice tests, chapter glossaries, and a post-assessment exam. Uniquely, the course is capped off with an innovative 3D avatar "game" experience where learners assume the role of a technician/avatar in order to move about a virtual reality space to perform various technical tasks. This is a clever way to simulate the real-world to say the least.

Nicholas Lane

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.

Jovil Chabbra

I reviewed the CompTIA A+ course of uCertify and find it to be the most convenient and understanding platform for learning and preparing for the exam. uCertify layouts make studying for the exam with quizzes, practice test, and lab exercises very easy. I look forward to taking a few courses that I am interested in with this company. Also, would recommend Ucertify to my friends and family.
