Customer Testimonials
David Jensen
I have found the uCertify ISC2 CISSP course very helpful in my preparation for the certification exam. The course content is aligned with the ISC2 CISSP exam objectives and provides hands-on learning on them.
Tan Lieu
The uCertify platform interface itself is clean and neat but tends to be cluttered with text on some screens. The Learn & Practice tab gives you a mostly text-based main menu with various Test options. The Study Helper had various options, mainly exam topics, that weren't selectable in the demo version. Overall I found the course to be best among all.
Chirag Gupta
The course is designed in a very simple way that beginners can learn easily and pass the certification exam in their first attempt. The quizzes provide detailed answers and I am extremely impressed by their Labs.
