Customer Testimonials
Kenny Afonin
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. I am fully confident that with this course, you can become certified in CompTIA ITF+ and land an IT job too.
Yitzchak Baum
uCertify gave me the great opportunity to take this course. It started off with a assessment that was 50 questions long. After the assessment you really get a feel for how much you already know. After being in the IT field for a couple of years now I was surprised by how many I got wrong but honestly unless you constantly study these things it is easy to forget. After the assessment I began going through the lessons. After each one I took the quizzes and moved onto the next lesson. Each lesson has flash cards you can study with. Definitions can't be all stories but it was explained well enough to where I didn't feel like I was reading a dictionary and getting definition after definition. At the end a final test well two tests but really it feels like just one big one. After the test is taken and depending on the score depends if they recommend you taking the certification. Throughout the entire course you have a status meeter. Everything you complete makes your number go up. Once you get to 90 it is recommended you are ready for the certification. I will be honest in my two week assessment I am far from ready for this certification test but I also didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to this course.
Rick Allison
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.
