Cisco - CCNA
A Firebrand Training
5
Day Course
Cisco - CCNA - Overview
Seven reasons why you should sit your CCNA course with Firebrand Training
- You’ll be CCNA certified in just 5 days. With us, you’ll be CCNA trained in record time
- Our CCNA course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
- Pass CCNA first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your CCNA course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
- You’ll learn more CCNA. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
- You’ll learn CCNA faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
- You’ll be studying CCNA with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
- You'll do more than study CCNA courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.
"Excellent course, very intense and can't believe just how much I have learnt in such a short time." Andrew Stevens (Firebrand Cisco CCNA certified)
"I could not think of a better way to train for any Cisco certification and would recommend Firebrand Training to anyone." Colum Keenan (Firebrand CCNA certified)
During the week, you’ll take exams on-site for the following certifications:

Cisco - CCNA - Benefits
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:
- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study
This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

Cisco - CCNA - What's Included
Why is Cisco at Firebrand different?
Firebrand’s accelerated CCNA course offers you access to more equipment than most of our competitors.
There are many Cisco training providers and the equipment used can vary greatly. Several use remote labs where you never see the actual equipment but do exercises based on a connection to a rack of equipment “somewhere”…
At Firebrand we see things differently. We believe that in your first exposure to Cisco you should see, feel, and touch the kit. You need to know about interfaces and ports, but not by seeing a PowerPoint slide or a diagram, rather by actually connecting cables to the router or switch.
You’ll work in pairs and share a “pod” of equipment located in a rack. You have your own 2811 router and 2960 switch, access to additional equipment such as a Frame-Relay switch, along with additional routers and switches should you wish to tinker.
The equipment we supply, alongside 24 hour lab access, gives you the tools to prepare you both for the CCNA exams, more importantly, the real world.
Books provided for free on the course

CCNA - Testimonials
"Its tough but well worth it!"
Martin Bell, Friends Reunited Ltd.
Cisco CCNA (5 Days) (9/3/2009 to 14/3/2009)
"I am now an absolute advocate of learning in this fashion. I am positive that, if I just review the material for one hour a day for the next 2 weeks to move it from short-term to long-term memory, that the knowledge will stay with me forever - whereas the slower pace of traditional courses allows for info to be forgotten by the time you leave the classroom !!"
James Wagner.
Cisco CCNA (5 Days) (1/12/2008 to 6/12/2008)
"Intense CCNA training course led by excellent instruction, comfortable lodgings and nice food. I chose Firebrand training because exams were included at the end of training, rather than booking them yourself some time later. (or not)"
