"The MCITP Enterprise Administrator course was very intense and the hours were really long. The hardest thing I've ever had to do but the teaching was second to none. The instructor was the most un PC person I'd met and yet I love him and hope hell adopt me for his own. The instructor taught me insane amounts and made learning some of the really difficult and boring topics come to life and stick in my mind. I cant praise him enough. The instructor should take my advice on choices of cars though, as French is never a good idea. I chose Firebrand Training because they get the job done and teach you an inordinate amount of information in the space of time. "

Firebrand is a really nice place to be and the people around are really helpfull as everyone is here more enough for the same reason. Even though i was not interested as much in these fields of I.T, I actually started to gain interest in it and learnt a lot more then i expected... THANK YOU FIREBRAND for the experience and knowledge."
Suraj Subron, Oasis Hadley Academy.

"Very hard work, but well worth it if you are prepared to make the commitment. "
Andrew Wojcik, Soltec Computer Systems Ltd.

"My eight days at Firebrand on the Dynamics CRM course was an intensive and extreme learning experience. Long days, with huge amounts of information to cram in, but all made possible by the instructors engaging, enthusiastic and well balanced approach to training. I couldn't recommend Firebrand, and especially this course, highly enough. The accommodation was good, the food great and plentiful, the staff helpful and courteous. There was also a much needed, never ending supply, of coffee. So overall, a brilliant experience, and I leave Firebrand knowing rather more about Dynamics CRM, than I did on Saturday the 6th of February. I chose the Dynamics CRM course with Firebrand because it was recommended to me internally at Microsoft by a number of people."
Damian Conrad, Microsoft.

"The lack of experience in this field of work and previous poor experiences relating to accelerated learning courses filled me with dread prior to attending the A+ Network+ CompTIA course. However, the instructor and the methods he employed to relay useful and relevant information, whilst at the same time making a geeky subject seem fun, totally changed my outlook on Firebrand Training. I would however recommend a break between the A+ and N+ courses for those of limited or no experience. Thanks to Firebrand and the instructor. "
Ryan Townsend, Armed Forces.

"Coming on this Firebrand Training course has been a fantastic experience. The MCSE course is intense, but I have achieved in two weeks what would normally take months. The instructors are of the highest caliber and have been there at every step of the way. I would highly recommend the MCSE Firebrand training course to anyone who can take the pace and I will definitely be returning soon to further my education."
Jonathan Swanston, Atia Communications.

"An excellent facility with highly qualified Prince2 trainers which leads itself to the accelerated learning environment. I would highly recommend."
Nicola McIlroy, air products.

"Be prepared to work and you will benefit."
Gordon Caffrey , Atmel.
