Strata - Testimonials

"Great SQL Server 2008 course. Tutor was superb. Loads of real world examples and expertise. Not just another Microsoft course."
Phil Pragnell, Collins Stewart.

"The MCPD course is full on. There is not much time to think as you have to cover a vast amount of information in a short time. Expect a lot of late nights. Do a bit of pre-reading. But be assured though that the staff are excellent and do everything in their power to get you through the course. If your are having a late night so are they. Highly recommended. Cheers "

"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.

"Great SharePoint Professional course, great teacher!! The facilities were very good and being immersed in a subject for five days is a good way of learning it. Exams are never nice to take (unless you're an exam junky) but being immersed means the exams are very relevant and are taken when everything is fresh in your mind."
Darren Phipson, Clarita Solutions.

"Initially I felt the VERY long hours and extended periods between theory and labs were counter intuitive. I must be wrong as I went from almost no SQL background to passing the exam. I couldn't be happier. The Firebrand Training was a superb lecturer too. If you have experience in the subject, and you're enthusiastic enough to eat / drink / sleep it, you'll do well at Firebrand!"
James Taylor, The University of Warwick.

"I would not hesitate to recommend this course. The instructor knew his material, and the facilities and the staff made it easy to concentrate on the course. I have never taken a course were there where a 100% pass rate before. Speaks for itself."
