Would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve a useful and rewarding Cisco certification. Firebrand Training has excellent reputation for high standards of training
"
Adrian Fulford, T-Systems.
"I wasn't prepared for how intense the course was going to be. I had read the previous testimonials from other people and felt that because I was used to working long hours I would be prepared for how hardcore the learning environment was going to be... but I wasn't. You need to be prepared to be cut off from the rest of the world for the whole week!!"
Natasha Rupniak, The DX Group.
"The course was very hard but very well managed. Microsoft recommend 42 weeks of training for the MCSE. Firebrand has managed to fit that into 2 weeks without missing a step."
G.H, Not Applicable.
"Excellent! Effective and focused learning with certification a bonus."
E.D, British Energy.

"The Firebrand Training instructor we had was the most competent technical training instructor I have experienced in the last 17 years in the communications industry. Wayne Love (CCIE 4485)"
Wayne Love, SITA.
"The CCNA course is very intensive. The amount you can learn in such a small time is incredible. Pre-reading is a must though, some of the concepts are difficult to grasp with the pace of the curriculum making it difficult to catch up. The instructors are always staying behind and coming in early to help, so any problems and questions can be quickly resolved. Although I didnt recieve the full CCNA at the end of this course, it was more down to my lack of experience with Cisco equiptment that than anything at all to do with the training."
Christopher Brett, contract.
"Firebrand Training for me was total immersion into a pool of learning presented by an instructor that had an amazing depth of knowledge all at my disposal. I felt comfortable and supported diving straight into what ended up being an intake of the most information in such a short period of time that I have been in for many years.
At this moment in time I cannot fault the whole experience and I passed my CompTIA A+Network+ course :D"
Michael Wilcox, myself and friends.
"After completing a few courses with Firebrand I have now come to expect the same level of training and commitment on all the courses I attend with them."
Andrew McKenna, MOD.
"Without this type of training I wouldn't pass my CCNA exams!"
Miro Ivanovic, Cisco Systems.
"This course was intense and fast paced. But gave me the opportunity to focus on passing my certification with all the resources I needed to succeed."
Craig Warren, PA Consulting.
"Firebrand Training offer a realistic solution to rapid learning, the instructors mix theory and real world situations which really helps in understanding the subject matter. You work hard over the course but feel at the conclusion you have a full understanding of the material. And some qualification in the bank as well."
Mark Boswell, VIP Computer Centre LTD.
