I learnt a massive amount on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 in this period...
Also had the good fortune to have a fantastic group of fellow students, who were able to make at least a few drinks every evening after a days worth of coursework.
This week has been the epitome of the old cliche "work hard, play hard"!"
WellDataTech, WellDataTech.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (8 Days) (18/5/2008 to 25/5/2008)
"Firebrand have created an environment where the student can be properly focused on their studies and not have to worry about anything external to that. The instructor was enormously helpful and always available after-hours for any further questions regarding the course curriculum. The availability of course materials and knowledge from the instructor make the experience nothing but a positive one and the learning process is vastly improved due to this."
BC, n/a.
Cisco CCNA 2007 Certification (6 Days) (10/3/2008 to 15/3/2008)
"You might not think it is possible to cram the whole MCSE into 14 days but believe me at Firebrand they manage it. Every day is 12-14 hours and after an exam is done you get very little time to recover before getting back into studying for the next one.
This is not an easy course and is not for the faint-hearted. You need conviction and determination if you want to succeed.
That said, the surroundings at Heythrop Park are beautiful, the staff are all very helpful and the food is amazing. If it wasnt for the all the learning and exams it would probably make for a nice holiday!
I would definitely consider using Firebrand for my future training and development needs."
N.B., self-employed.

Chris Waite, Bidetime Ltd.
Microsoft MCTS: SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence (6 Days) (24/3/2008 to 29/3/2008)
"I came very sceptical about what could be achieved in 14 days but had an amazing experience that exceeded my expectations. I am leaving today with my MCSE - nuff said! It's all down to a great instructor who left us with far more that just a piece of paper at the end of it and a great bunch of lads in my course who all pulled together to get through the collective highs and lows. Do your prereading and don't kid yourself this is easy - 8am till midnight in the labs every day is required - but put the effort in and it can be done. It's certainly not for beginners but if you have a good understanding of the concepts before you come you can do it. I wish you luck!"
Chris Dodge, Penta Consulting Ltd..
Microsoft MCSE Vista Security+ Certification (14 Days) (17/3/2008 to 30/3/2008)
"While I found that I was unprepared for the level of intensity of the training, our instructor managed to instill the confidence I needed to help me manage my training.
His tips, insight and encouragement certainly helped me to believe that I would be able to complete the course and do well in the exams.
Training here - while not for the faint hearted - is well worth the time and effort you put into it and the grounds are quite conducive to learning.

Allows you to get trained and certified in a few days. It aint easy, but if you are willing to work hard, if the trainer is good and if the course material and exams are sensible it can be a very productive experience!"
