uCertify Certification

There are lots of way to improve your career. One of them is by specializing yourself on one technology and mastering it until advanced level, for example if you are interested in database using Oracle, then study all about Oracle, from beginners until advanced technique. This way, you will have more plus point rather than other who only knows the basic of that technology.

Mastering a technology itself sometimes is not enough. You need some evidence that stated you have mastered something. It's when certification ideas comes up. Some organizations or companies gives a title to person who are considered qualifies for one of their products. For example, in Cisco, you can have CCNA and CCNP certification for several path, such as general routing, design, network security, etc and all of them can be seen on their IT Certification page.

Certification does cost some money and sometimes the cost is quite expensive, so not everybody is interested in certification. If you failed, then all of your money is lost. In order to prevent this, usually there are some preparations that has to be conducted prior to the test exams. Some organizations have published a book of the previous exams, giving a clue what might the test be.

Another solution that might comes up is by using software tools to help you prepare yourself before the exams. One of them are from uCertify. They provides PrepKits, an interactive software that helps you learn, tracks your progress, identifies areas for improvement and simulates the actual exam. They have quite a lot of IT certification PrepKits, so you are free to choose. They are:
