"I had a really nice time and 13 days have past really quickly. Didn't find this course as intense as the MCSE back in 2006, but there were many new topics to cover like Windows 7, IIS7, IPv6 and Hyper-V. It was great to have a refresher in regards to AD and DNS. I feel that I have done extremely well and even though I did not pass all the exams, I can take much of what I have learnt and apply it the real world. I would highly recommend Firebrand Training to friends and colleagues. However, I would say that it really helps to have a good understanding in the topics before applying for a course. "
Ian Maxey, States of Guernsey.

C.P, ScS Upholstery.

"an excellent course. Fast Pace!!"
Brenda Worger, health industry.

"Firebrand Training is the way forward, whether you are approaching a topic with entry level knowledge or just want to get the qualification for what you already know, this is the place to do it! I've been on four courses at Firebrand now and after each one I've come away with the qualification and knowing a vast amount more than I did. Expect long days and a lot of time in the classrom; but if you can accept that, you will get the result at the end of the week!"
Russ Cashman, Reliance High-Tech.

"Really enjoyed the course, it was long hours but I knew it would be a lot of work. The instructor was really good and I found it amazing how well I absorbed all the information. He came up with really good ways of remembering things. It was well worth all the effort as I'm now qualified after just 2 weeks! Id recommend the course to anyone! I chose Firebrand because I had been wanting to do the MCITP EA training for a while and had been looking at self learning. Due to a lot of travel and long hours with work I couldn't commit to this so knew that a boot camp would be much better suited. I knew somebody that had been on the MCSE 2003 course about 18 month before and he said he would recommend it. K3 have also sent a number of people on Microsoft Dynamics courses and they are on the Firebrand website so going with Firebrand made complete sense. "
Gareth Kee, None.
