Rolando kohl
I took the CompTIA A + course from uCertify and was really impressed with the quality of the material. Not only because it is well armed, but because at the end of each lesson it has a questionnaire, where we can demonstrate our learned skills. In case the answer is incorrect we can verify in what we fail and that we must reinforce to be able to advance with the course.
