Managing Successful Programmes certification is an excellent way to develop in the management sector of the IT industry. Managing Successful Programmes focuses on the latest management standards.
Business professionals
A MSP certification demonstrates knowledge of management standards and best practices. Taking the time to learn new IT management concepts shows a commitment to keep pace with today's technology-driven economy, to better understand a customer's business, and to become more self-sufficient by better understanding the technology on which almost every professional relies.
Experienced and certified IT professionals
If an experienced IT professional does not already have a widely recognized certification, he or she should earn a certification to show current or potential employers a measurement of their skills and expertise.
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including
- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study

"This was my second time at Firebrand Training as I came back to upgrade my MCSA to a MCSE. I did 6 weeks pre-reading beforehand which helped me stay on top of the workload. My instructor was excellent - always staying behind after class to answer any questions. He has a real good teaching technique, making the most complex concepts make sense. And whats more he is a real friendly down-to-earth chap, who deserves a pint!
The accommodation and facilities are really comfortable and the environment is excellent for accelerated learning as there are no distractions.
If I can get the boss to stump up for the CCNA course or Server 2008 Upgrade, I will return (but not before a few months to relax first)."

With the course materials and my new knowledge I feel confident of passing the CCNA in the very near future."
SD, Cable & Wireless Guernsey Ltd..
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (30/6/2008 to 5/7/2008)
"This is not a course for people who struggle to pick up new ideas quickly, the pace is very fast and the exams really test your knowledge. Our trainer was outstanding and answered all the questions we could throw at him, and also gave us lots of valuable advice from his real-world experience. He also contribute to a fun and positive atmosphere amoung the group. Lessons last all day from around 8:30am to any time in the evening (our earliest finish was around 10:30), with occasional short breaks, making the course very intensive. However, I believe everyone in our group has learned a huge amount and I would recommend the course to any IT professional who learns quickly, isnt afraid of some hard work and can function on little sleep!"
Karen Newitt, Prior Analytics.

Sun Certified System Administrator (SCSA) (7 Days) (7/7/2008 to 13/7/2008)
"People should not believe that an instructor can get you from 0 - 100 % within 2 weeks. The MCSE in 2 weeks is a very hard task, and requires background knowledge and dedication when on site. I would recommend this to anyone, and will be returning for other courses. Just make sure you put a little time and effort in before you go!"

Mark Scott, SEA (Group) Ltd..
