Customer Testimonials
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.
