CCNP - Testimonials

"If you're prepared to focus and put the work in you will find the Firebrand* very rewarding. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful and the environment is suited to learning."
anon, Detica .
Cisco CCNP Certification (13 Days) (25/4/2005 to 8/5/2005)

"Firebrand is an accelerated bootcamp - it achieves this wonderfully. But if the content is new to you it is very difficult to learn to the required level."
Jag, astrium.
Cisco CCNP Certification (13 Days) (11/5/2009 to 23/5/2009)

"I have now attended the Cisco CCNA Bootcamp as well as the CCNP Bootcamp in quick succession and have been amazed at my progress, especially when I do not strictly come from a networking background and therefore viewed these courses with some trepidation. But the courses are excellently prepared with expert trainers, with you every step of the way. I have nothing but thanks for the instructors that have tutored me on these courses and the excellent way that they have trained me and prepared me for the exams. One final thing which I applaud Firebrand for persuing is that whilst there is an emphasis on trying to pass the course and attain the accreditation, the main focus is on understanding the course subjects and confirming through hands-on wherever possible, excellent. Considering my inexperience in these subjects, the emphasis on training and hand-on is invaluable, along with expertly knowledgable instructors always available! And whilst I have found the few weeks training unbelievably tough, I have also enjoyed my learning experience. Thanks again to Firebrand for making the effort and expense worthwhile! I believe I now deserve a bit of a break but if I require further training, Firebrand will be my first point of call! Brynly Abrahams."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the 14 days CCNP and learned an enormous amount, despite the intensity and workload. It isn´t for the faint-hearted or those that lack staying power as you are working from 9am until very late every day. If you are prepared for that then you will pass. However I would also recommend this course for people just interested in gaining lots of Cisco knowledge and not concerned with exam passes. Its a great way to gain lots of knowledge quickly."
