Exam Prep Software--INCLUDED!
All of our CompTIA classes include access to web-based practice exams. CompTIA certification exams are very rigorous and challenging. By studying after the class and using these practice exams, you will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time. Exam prep software is included with all CompTIA classes delivered by ONLC Training Centers.
ONLC’s Exam Pass Guarantee--INCLUDED!
Our CompTIA certification classes include our Exam Pass Guarantee. Work through the Exam Prep Software included with your course. When you achieve a practice test score of 85% or better in Certification mode, send proof of that score to exam@onlc.com. We will then release the exam voucher for the authorized certification exam to you. If you fail the authorized certification exam on the first attempt, we will provide a second exam voucher to you at no charge. HOWEVER, if you don't use the practice test or you take the authorized exam without first achieving 85% or better on the practice test, then the Exam Pass Guarantee is null and void.
