Philip Luke, Software Box Ltd.

RL, euromoney.

"I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."
RW, RBS.

"I never thought I would get through 8 days of training 12-14 hours a day, plus doing homework. However the ideal environment, helpful staff and amazing instructor all helped us to focus on the task at hand and our common goal, rather than what time of day (or night!) it was. Truly an experience, not just your regular training. "
Azim Husain, PA Consulting Group.

"Excellent tutor, who kept what could have been a dry subject moving along at a good pace."
J.G, HMRC.

"I started of as a newbie in networking and thanks to the tutors excellent teaching skills, I could pass my exams at the end of the course. Strongly recommend this course."
Thimmaiah B Machaiah, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.

"It was a good course, hard work but enjoyable. A lot of information to digest but taught in a way that made it easier to remember."
Graeme Gardner, Self.

"Hard graft and definitely not for the week willed or faint hearted - but worthwhile, no question. Pre-reading is a big must."
Mike Crowe, Self Employed.

Allan McCulloch, Avian Communications.

"Very quick paced course, hard work but well run and very well delivered."

"This is a professional and well delivered course. However do not consider such a condensed course if you are either inexperienced in the IT field or you are unprepared! The Comptia certification is not a soft or easy option for the inexperienced! Prepare to work very hard for very long hours and you may be rewarded for your efforts."
Simon Chandler, DJO UK Ltd.

Richard Ward, Insite Europe Limited.

Robert Laszczewski, Phase Forward Ltd.

"Many thanks to Firebrand Training and especially the instructor, as I would have never got through the material and taken the exams. Now I am a qualified MCTS in ASP.NET 3.5, and ADO.NET 3.5. One thing to note - this is not a picnic, be prepared to work hard and put the hours in."
Richard Tappenden, Education Direct Ltd.

"Firebrand Training meet all my needs in regards to training and the overall experience, can not wait to get back for another course."
Darren Jones, flooks haulage.

"An intensive course but producing good results! Whilst the orientation is mis-leading and actually leads you straight into your first nights learning experience, you quickly adjust to its intensive nature. The accomodation is simple, but enough to get a good nights rest and to study in private. 3 meals a day are provided and the catering staff try to accomodate as much as possible. But there is a huge range of snacks, soft drinks, tea & coffee to keep you going in-between. Overall a great way to remove yourself from your daily distractions and get on with the task of getting certified as quickly as possible. Definitely recommended, however a prior knowledge of working with Dynamics (or any other) CRM and a grounding on MS Windows/Servers will definitely help give you a jump start on certain elements of this course."
Phil Midgley, Collins Stewart Wealth Management.

"Very good location, extremely good instructors and a good atmosphere. I did MCSE 2003 at home on my own and it was not the same. It is so good having other people to talk to about the subject. Also being away from home means much more time is spent learning and not being distracted. I strongly recommend Firebrand Training to anybody wanting to get qualified (and quick too!)"
Tom Sage, Balfour Beatty (interroute).

"This was very useful even though it was intense. If youre prepared to study and put the allocated time in, then this is for you!"
Simon Clark, Volkswagen Group UK.
