Customer Testimonials
Forhad Ahmed
uCertify PenTest+ PT0-001 course is based on the official certification guide from Pearson, in such way that the theory is enough for you to apply for the test. I really liked the number of flashcards and knowledge checks presented in each lecture. However, the differential in this course is the hands-on labs available, very useful to be confident and succeed in the exam.
Vinay Reddy Danda
uCertify is a very cost-effective way of studying for the exam and I was impressed with the quality of the materials. It would be good to be able to download the course book and flash cards so that you could study offline – personally I don’t find it very easy to read long texts on screen but I know this works for other people.
