uCertify is an excellent tool that enables students to prepare for certification exams. It provides official course material, besides videos that complement the learner. The intere...sting thing about this site is that it allows monitoring your learning and identify your weaknesses from online tests. Another thing that I rescue is the highest number of questions to prepare for your certification exam. Another feature of the platform that was found fabulous option flashcard, which easily can learn and memorize the terms of each chapter. One of the things I would like that Ucertify add in the future are "practical guidelines", where students could prepare a practical laboratory, either based on GNS3 or Packet Tracert, where students will the option to download the practical test and execute it . Personally I find uCertify is extraordinarily fantastic and distinguished from other similar websites that offer Cisco technologies study pages, I hope you will continue to improve.
