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.
With Firebrand, you benefit from top-quality education in an all-inclusive course package specifically designed for the needs and ease of our students. We attend to every detail so you can focus solely on your studies and certification goals.
You’ll get a robust set of course materials that cater to each of our three key individual learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic-tactile) - critical for a successful learning experience.
Our Certification Programs include*
- Daily lectures, exercises, and review sessions
- Intensive Hands-on Training Utilising our (Lecture | Lab | Review)TM Delivery
- Comprehensive study materials and courseware - we adapt official curriculum to address the demands of accelerated learners
- Self-testing software and/or mock exam papers
- Fully instructor-led program with 24 hour lab access
- Exam vouchers
- On site testing
- Accommodation, all meals, drinks and snacks
- Our Certification Guarantee - because we're sure you'll pass first time, if don’t pass your exams, come back to the course within a year and you only pay for accommodation and exam vouchers - everything else is free
* Please note:
- Our ISC(2) Cissp CBK Review program differs from normal course delivery. For more details, speak to us on 080 80 800 888.
- Exam vouchers for our (ISC)2 certifications need to be purchased directly from (ISC)2
- On site testing is not included in our Scrum, ISACA or PMI certifications
Our instructors teach to accommodate every student's learning needs through individualised instruction, hands-on labs, lab partner and group exercises, independent study, self-testing, and question/answer drills.
Firebrand Training has dedicated, well-equipped educational facilities where you will attend instruction and labs and have access to comfortable study and lounging rooms. Our students consistently say our facilities are second-to-none.
Examination Passing Policy
Should a student complete a Firebrand Training Program without having successfully passed all vendor examinations, the student may re-attend that program for a period of one year. Students will only be responsible for accommodation and vendor exam fees.

Cisco - CCNA - Prerequisites
Students that are successful in the Cisco CCNA training course are required to meet the following prerequisites:
- Experience of a desktop operating system
- Knowledge of networking fundamentals
We interview all applicants for the course on their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and general suitability. If you get through this screening process, it means you stand a great chance of passing.
Firebrand Training is an immersive training environment. You must be committed to the course. The above prerequisites are guidelines, but many students with less experience have other background or traits that have enabled their success in accelerated training through Firebrand Training.

CCNA - Testimonials

S.N, contractor for voice trading.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (12/1/2009 to 17/1/2009)
"Firebrand Training is the way forward, whether you are approaching a topic with entry level knowledge or just want to get the qualification for what you already know, this is the place to do it! I've been on four courses at Firebrand now and after each one I've come away with the qualification and knowing a vast amount more than I did. Expect long days and a lot of time in the classrom; but if you can accept that, you will get the result at the end of the week!"
Russ Cashman, Reliance High-Tech.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (4/1/2010 to 9/1/2010)

Paul Hanner, Eurotel.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (24/3/2008 to 29/3/2008)
"I really enjoyed the intensive training, Firebrand style, on the CCNA course. I chose the two-stage CCNA certification route by doing the 3 day ICND1 course (and gaining CCENT certification) then returning a month later for the 3 day ICND2 course. This gave me more time to prepare for ICND2 as it is much tougher than ICND1. My instructor was superb."
Alan Gray, Unemployed.

Dave Curtis, Ticketmaster UK Ltd.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (7/4/2008 to 12/4/2008)
"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.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (4/1/2010 to 9/1/2010)
"The Firebrand Training environment is friendly and relaxing, enabling one to work uninterrupted. Just remember to turn off your phone."

Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (22/6/2009 to 27/6/2009)

However, the instructors waste no time on trivial events and are very focused on you achieving accreditation.
They are more than happy to act on any related enthusiasm/questions in order to broaden the experience both in academic and real world applications.
The fact that I achieved accreditation from the course is menial in comparison to the sheer knowledge I attained that has already helped me with my chosen career."
Ron Williams, bet365 ltd.
