Why Do Learners Love This Course?

I wanted to say the uCertify learning platform for CySA+ is very good. The language in the material is easy to follow and I especially like the live labs. It is a very in depth course and is advanced for those just in the IT field, but I like the challenge If you are looking at taking this course, please give it a go.

Being a CISSP instructor, I have identified that if participants who take this course and maintain a strong understanding of the course material, it will make it easier to understand the topics found in ISC2’s CISSP Security and Risk Management Domain and Security Assessment and Testing Domain.

I’ve been using uCertify to study for CompTIA’s CySA+ and I must say it had so many features I haven’t even gotten around to try them all. There’s virtual flash cards, practice tests, and even a virtual lab. The virtual lab actually allows you to get the hand on experience you may not need to actually pass the exam but will certainly be valuable on the job. If you have never worked vulnerability management tools outside of a learning environment, this could definitely give you the boost needed. It will even let you know when you have done the task correctly or not almost immediately.
