CCENT Certification Testimonials
"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!"

Microsoft MCPD Web Developer Certification (9 Days) (4/8/2008 to 12/8/2008)
"Whilst I failed the Comptia Essentials Exam I did however, walk away with an immense amount of knowledge. One should not be disheartened if you fail because you should still take a resit and capitalise upon what you have been taught a Firebrand. I would recommend the Firebrand Training to anyome considering further IT qualification but only undertake the same if you are prepared for intense hard work. If you are not of that mind-set then it wont work for you - but if you are, then you will find the training well worth it!"

Akhtar Siddiqui, IT.
PRINCE2 Foundation/Practitioner (5 Days) (18/8/2008 to 22/8/2008)
"I arrived at Heythrop armed with warnings and general foreboding of people who had trodden the path before so had read the course manuals and played about with CRM before arriving.
The course is intense yet rewarding. 17 hour days were initially a shock but by day 7 are second nature. The instructor was top notch and full of real world advice. The attendees were from a wide range of backgrounds yet everyone pulled together for revision sessions which helped massively to pass the exams. In short, hard work but rewarding. One tip, do not arrive without preparing."
