Day Course
Cisco CCSP Certification - Overview
The goal of this fourteen-day accelerated program for Cisco Certified Security Professional Certification is to provide network security professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement highly secure networked business systems. Cisco Certified Security Professional Certification provides an individual with professional level recognition in designing and implementing Cisco security solutions using Cisco IOS, ACS, PIX Firewalls, the VPN 3000 Series Concentrators, IDS technologies and CiscoWorks VMS.
The Community for National Systems Security (CNSS) now awards the "Information Systems Security Professional" (INFOSEC) certification for the successful completion of the program's first four Cisco certification exams.
During the program, students will live, learn, and take the Cisco exams at one of our state-of-the-art education centres. This blended-learning program employs outcome-based (Lecture | Lab | Review) delivery - that focuses on preparing you with the real-world skills required to pass the simulator-based exams and to hit the ground running in your career.
Our Dual Certification Program
- Allows you to achieve your certification in half the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
- Helps students grasp complex technical concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
- Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
Cisco CCSP Certification - Benefits
Security has always been a concern to organizations that perform business. As organizations expand their networks and interconnect, the emphasis on network security has moved to the forefront. The market for skilled network security professionals has never been better. Remembering that network security is simply security applied to networking, it only makes sense to hone your skills on products that are the most recognized in the industry when working toward a network security certification.
Overall, Cisco certification validates an individual's achievement, increasing the holder's professional credibility by ensuring high standards of technical expertise. In particular, Cisco CCSP certification indicates knowledge of Cisco security products and technologies, as well as the ability to use them to build integrated network security solutions.
CCSP certification indicates that the holder can
- Secure the network infrastructure using Cisco security products and integrated technologies
- Deploy perimeter security, VPNs, and intrusion protection technologies and solutions
- Monitor and detect relevant security events
- Manage network security to protect productivity gains and reduce costs
Cisco certifications also afford you special membership benefits:
- A certificate of accomplishment.
- A wallet card, logo and designation for your personal promotion to clients or potential employers.
- Access to the secure Cisco on-line tracking system so you can download logos, and track your Cisco certification progress throughout your career.
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, including
- 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.

"As I could not be out of the office for two consecutive weeks, I was able to split the training course in two parts. I have completed the first week and passed all three exams - an excellent way to achieve the qualifications I sought. You do need real world experience though as this course is too intense for beginners."

SP, Elliott Penny Ltd.
PRINCE2 Foundation/Practitioner (5 Days) (9/6/2008 to 13/6/2008)
"An excellent course. The pacing was just right, with several long days of lectures, but with time always being made available for additional reading and lab work, which is essential on a course like this. Despite not completing all the exams yet (I decided to defer the Windows 2008 exams in order to get some more hands on experience with some of the areas I had previously had little exposure to), I will leave the course with a lot more confidence and knowledge than when I came. With a little bit more self study I should be able to successfully complete the exams.
The instructor was excellent and made the course very enjoyable. He had vast amounts of real world experience which is always invaluable and was more than happy to elaborate on any questions raised.
The whole team at Firebrand were friendly and made the whole prospect of being away from home for 2 weeks much easier than I had anticipated. The food was also varied and of a very high quality.
Despite being very apprehensive about attending the course beforehand, I would not hesitate to recommend Firebrand as an effective training solution, and I hope to return to do additional courses in the future!"

Relaxing/chilling out was very little as you are constantly working. If you want an environment to study without disruption, then Firebrand Training is the place, but be prepared it does knacker you out though!"
