Tom Harvey, Maplin Electonics.
CompTIA A+/Network+ Certification (7 Days) (7/8/2006 to 13/8/2006)

"I came to Firebrand* to gain knowledge and hopefully certification in both A+ and Net+. I had not taken an on line exam before, and in fact had not taken an exam for 22 years. I enjoyed the week immensely and have left with A+ certification (just missed the Net+, will come back and do that again) and a great deal of knowledge, background and understanding of the subject. It's an intense, tiring and emotional week, but very enjoyable, I would recommend it to anyone! Although you need to be highly motivated and have the desire to not only pass the modules but to extend your knowledge and experience."
