Why Do Learners Love This Course?

I was presented the opportunity to review the new networking course, N10-007, from uCertify. Needless to say, I have always been impressed by the attention to detail the content delivers when compared to the requirements and the presentation and multi avenue approach which strengthens and aids in developing a firm grasp on the content. The coverage of network protocols, basic architecture and design, and the domain by domain specifics are deep, thorough and supported by enough practice, test and review that I see no hurdle for people learning Networking as a new skill. After taking this course and reviewing not only the course material, the practice material, but also the labs; I do not think there is a better dollar for dollar solution to strengthen existing network skills or even to help bridge someone into network engineering.

I have taken many, many certification exams, and I must say uCertify is the recipe that has worked for me. Usually, I have to go to two or three sources to find all these training elements. But this course has them all!

In the event that you fail your first attempt at passing the Network+ examination, CompTIA's retake policies are:

  1. CompTIA does not require a waiting period between the first and second attempt to pass such examination. However, if you need a third or subsequent attempt to pass the examination, you shall be required to wait for a period of at least fourteen calendar days from the date of your last attempt before you can retake the exam.
  2. If a candidate has passed an exam, he/she cannot take it again without prior consent from CompTIA.
  3. A test result found to be in violation of the retake policy will not be processed, which will result in no credit awarded for the test taken. Repeat violators will be banned from participation in the CompTIA Certification Program.
  4. Candidates must pay the exam price each time they attempt the exam. CompTIA does not offer free re-tests or discounts on retakes.

CompTIA Network+ certification expires after three years from the date of issue, after which the certification holders will need to renew their certification via CompTIA's Continuing Education Program.
