LPI Level 1 Certification - Testimonials
"Firebrand* experience is intensive, but very fulfilling. Each day is crammed with information and labwork to help you better understand the subject matter.
A day typically starts with a classroom session, laying the foundations. This is then followed with lab sessions putting everything into practice.
At the end of the day there is a review session, allowing the time to find any areas which are not fully understood or to ask questions. Typically then, each evening is completed with a reading session to gain an understanding of the following days material.
The intensive nature ensures complete focus throughout the program.
All in all an enjoyable and fulfilling, if exhausting time."

"From the start of the enrollment I was very impressed with the staff and facilities. Once the actual MCITP Enterprise Administrator course began I could see how such an accelerated program could be provided. The instructor was highly technical and able to make even the most dull elements memorable and interesting. Approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth, i couldn't have hoped for a better trainer.
The on site facilities were excellent and the training materials / course content / structure was first class!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Firebrand to others!. For me I chose Firebrand Training because of the accelerated program coupled with on site testing."
