"I found the MCIP EA course one of the hardest things I have done. However, we had a great instructor who took the time to explain things to us and if we still wasnt quite sure he would try another method of explaining it. As for the food and accommodation.. well what can I say.... SUPERB!"

Neil Ginns, nCipher.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (14/7/2008 to 20/7/2008)
"The course was extremely difficult!
Please ensure that you know what you are doing before you embark on this training! It is a roller-coaster of highs and lows, constant study and "red" eyes. Please, please understand that you simply must have experienced the subject matter for a while before you go on this course.
I did not know what the course entailed and left Firebrand very disappointed! The training is 1st class, there is NO better place to do MCSE BUT - Dont be under the illusion that you can come with little or no experience and pass. You will be in for a shock!"
Gary Parker, Self Employed.

"Returned for my 5th course, over 4 years, with Firebrand Training. Outstanding. If you are willing to put in the effort, this is the quickest way to learn new technologies, or fill in your knowledge gaps for the Exams. If you are a slow learner, or have no experience, then this may not be the place for you. The food is worth looking forward to every day.
Well recommended."

Really friendly and helpful lecturer who assisted us all throughout the course. Recommend pre-study and you have to understand that this is not a holiday camp. You will be studying for many, many hours each day. My hours were 8am through 11pm, even though the course states less.. but is it well worth the hardship.
"

Microsoft MCTS SQL Server 2005 (5 Days) (1/9/2008 to 5/9/2008)
"I arrived on a Sunday evening not knowing anyone or done anything like this before. I knew it was going to be tough and i expected to be worked hard. After arriving we quickly got into the class room and were learning new and old material and really pushing for our goals. We started early, and finished late, but i dont think there is a better way to learn. We were given reassurance and any problem we had was dealt with brillaintly. The food was gorgeous, the room was nice, and the staff would happily help out. In the 13days I have been here, I have learnt a hell of alot more than I would if I took the course over a long period. Was a great place to be, recommend it to anyone. I think now I have the addiction, it wont be long before im back.
Luke"
