Why Do Learners Love This Course?

The uCertify learning model seems to flow well. At the beginning is a pre-assessment, then a chapter for each subject followed by chapter quiz, flash cards, and labs. Most of the labs mimic the latest version of Windows, and a small spot light on Linux. For anyone who is thinking about getting into IT this would be a good place to start. The IT Fundamentals+ covers a broad range of IT subjects from computer repair, software, operating systems, software development, database management, security, and business continuity. There is something in here for anyone thinking of a future in IT.

The course for CompTIA's ITF+ by uCertify is simply put, remarkable. Each objective covered has the principal idea explored, each integral concept explained exactly as you should to someone taking their first step into the world of information technology. The tools used spared no expense in reinforcing the topic. The course not only covers the objectives, they make sure to give you what you need to memorize, and more importantly, understand them. The tools were various, and a good depth of features in each for studying. You'll find the traditional, as well as a hands-on approach that made a difference between the theoretical and practical way of teaching and learning. I have used uCertify for every CompTIA exam I took. I passed each exam the first time I tried. It was uCertifiy that helped me achieve CompTIA ITF and landed me my first IT job.
