I took the uCertify Microsoft MTA 96–366 course. Each lesson was well structured and the concepts were explained so well and comprehensively that it made learning easy and interesting. The lessons also come with practice tests, flashcards, and even a glossary and this really helped cement the ideas in my head as I was able to go through them and practice.
