Customer Review

CCNA Security 210-260 Official Cert Guide covers all of the objectives to exam preparation. The reading materials are complete and easy to understand. We can use the practice exam at the end of the study. Practice exam mode is useful if you want to do simulation as like real exam this is with limit time. I really recommended to all of you who need to improve your knowledge and prepare for your exam.

I had the opportunity to take the CCNA Security 210-260 course on uCertify and I had an amazing UX. It was a hands-on learning process! I enjoyed one of the tools; the study card drills which helped me get familiar with the terminologies, definitions, and concepts associated with each topic I'm learning. Other tools like the pre-assessment, exercises, quizzes, etc are all geared to provide an effective learning process for the learner. I would recommend uCertify to anyone who wants to get an IT certification.
