Why Do Learners Love This Course?

I recently had the opportunity to take a look at the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) training course on uCertify and I am very impressed. In addition to the lessons, they have practice questions with detailed explanations and 40 hands on labs. Each lesson also has flash cards. Their mobile app makes it convenient to go over the lessons and take practice tests on the go. As an added bonus, they have a study planner with a readiness score based on what you've completed, and suggestions on what do to in order to get a better understanding of the material. The only thing I can think of that would enhance this course are more labs related to log analysis. Overall, I would recommend the uCertify CySA+ course to anyone studying for the exam.

During the CySA+ course from uCertify, I have learned more about cyber-security than I have over the past years of real-world experience. I now have a clear understanding of how important IT security is to any organization. The learning environment was second to none. The exercises and in-depth study material was beneficial and the labs helped re-enforce the material covered. All of this will most definitely help me in my role as a network security professional. I now know where to look for anomalies in the network and take action to swiftly mitigate potential threats.

I just finished the CompTIA CySA+ training course from uCertify.com I really wish I would have had this when I was studying for the certification! Their labs are virtual machines that you spin up. You are given a task that aligns with the certification objectives that you will be tested on, spin up a VM and go to work! In the course, they have step by step guides on how to use different KaliLinux exploitation tools, Wireshark, and a lot of other popular, open-source programs that you will be tested on. They offer scenario-based questions and in-depth explanations of the certification objectives. If you are planning on taking the CySA+ certification, I highly recommend checking out uCertify.
