Network and Security

I think getting certifications these days are beneficial in finding jobs and gaining more skills, especially in the computer science field. After using UCertify for CompTIA Security, I was impressed that how all the tools were setup for success, from the Pre Assessment that allows you to see where you stand in that course before you start, I think that is big step forward for online courses. Another thing that impressed me was how it did cover all the topics that are coming in the exam. In other words, it saves you much time in the progress of achieving the certification. It is like the best bundle I worked with. Having an example test makes users to experience what they are going to face in the test so they can plan for it and be prepared. All the tools are designed so you will feel confident about the exam. The course made me feel the user will have all the resources for success.
