ISTQB Foundation Software Tester - Testimonials

"I decided to take the Microsoft MCPD Enterprise Developer course with Firebrand Training, because of the fact that it is an immersive study environment and also because the teaching staff was said to be very knowledgeable (and are, at least for the one we had)."
Racine Conde, Unemployed.

"Intense CCNA training course led by excellent instruction, comfortable lodgings and nice food. I chose Firebrand training because exams were included at the end of training, rather than booking them yourself some time later. (or not)"
David Stafford, dstl.

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

"This is a fantastic experience. Prepare well and buckle down for your time there, you'll seldom have access to such expertise. Be sure to take a few days off afterwards to recover. You'll deserve it after your achievements at Firebrand."
C.C, Something wrong with this field.

"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.

"Firebrand is an excellent training facility, which delivers well balanced training"
Martyn Veale, MOD.

"The training and accommodation was very good, this brought my awareness of my technical knowledge to the forefront of my understanding of various situations. The only downside is that I was not made aware that I needed more pre-reading before starting the course. "
Ian Greenfield, Oasis Young Peoples Care Services.

"It was an intense few weeks and if you don't do the work on a daily basis, then I would still suggest coming along to the course and deferring the exams as there is a lot of extra information that is not in the exam books that you will find very useful."
Neil Poole, Central Networks.

"An amazing learning experience, I am very pleased with the results. This will no doubt help me to further my career in IT."
Rob Phillips, Innovate.

"Firebrand Training provide excellent services to maximize learning."
David Cawley, Reliance High Tech.

"The CCNA course is very intensive. The amount you can learn in such a small time is incredible. Pre-reading is a must though, some of the concepts are difficult to grasp with the pace of the curriculum making it difficult to catch up. The instructors are always staying behind and coming in early to help, so any problems and questions can be quickly resolved. Although I didnt recieve the full CCNA at the end of this course, it was more down to my lack of experience with Cisco equiptment that than anything at all to do with the training."
Christopher Brett, contract.

"The CompTIA A+ learning was well structured and the instructor managed to convey all of the information in a clear and understandable manner. At the end of the day, I was pleased with the whole experience and would definitely use Firebrand again."
Alun Haines, TNT Express ICS.

"Having come from a background of "I'll learn by playing with it", I found this course to be a fantastic eye-opening experience. The pace is fast, but with sufficient self-motivation to keep focused, gliding through the qualifications is a breeze! Its a lot to take in at once, but with instructors who are demonstrably proficient in their field, you know you are covering exactly what you need. I would come back, definitely!"
Guy Bullivant, Nobody.

"Excellent course with well informed and helpful instructor."
Fergus Prone, The Danwood Group Limited.

"an excellent course. Fast Pace!!"
Brenda Worger, health industry.

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

"Hard graft coming back after 8 months away. Tutor excellent and staff helpful. They deliver the good as long as you are fully commited and honest about your skill sets. I decided to take the MCSE course with Firebrand as the techniques they employed worked well for me."
Ian Stockbridge, Dawson Shanahan Limited.

"The Firebrand Training was really helpful and I passed a day early!"
B.S, Mfuse Ltd.

"I don't have much background knowledge on CEH, the trainer taught from basics. He spared extra time with me. I am really very much thankful to Firebrand and Luck."
Vamshiram Tulasi, www.informa.com.

"Since I started my first course with Firebrand, I cant get any Training company that match the quality and real life business studies. Hard work but great results. No doubt in my mind your the best. Firebrand Training offers good quality training."
Andre Mellet, Universal Telecom.

"I survived Firebrand Training and PASSED ! "
John Ashton, Somerset County Council.

"I really enjoyed the intensive training, Firebrand style, on the CCNA course. I chose the two-stage CCNA certification route by doing the 3 day ICND1 course (and gaining CCENT certification) then returning a month later for the 3 day ICND2 course. This gave me more time to prepare for ICND2 as it is much tougher than ICND1. My instructor was superb."
Alan Gray, Unemployed.

"Good facilities & excellent trainers. Hard work but very rewarding. "
M.H, DrFoster.

"After completing a few courses with Firebrand I have now come to expect the same level of training and commitment on all the courses I attend with them."
Andrew McKenna, MOD.

"Firebrand Training Linux Professional courses are long days and lots of hard work, but the environment is pleasant and relaxed. Food is nice, facilities in the training center are good and my instructor was in attendance until late in the evening to give help and encouragement. "
C.S, xxx.

"Its been a hard but rewarding week! We have had some fun but the course has Phil has made this course a good learning experience. Thanks very much "
Philip Zeligman, AZENT Ltd.

"My SharePoint instructor was excellent. I don't remember ever being on a course with such a knowledgeable instructor who knew the subject matter and most related areas too! But take a kettle or book into the Premier Lodge! "
Terry Goff, Self Employed.

"Very good course. I learnt a lot and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Firebrand Training.."
IV, MOD.

I have thoroughly enjoyed it."
