"By far the best training I have had in both the US and the UK. The price of the course was well worth the money - the facilities were nice, the food was good, and the instructor was great. I have already recommended Firebrand to all of my co-workers!" Dan Sochacki, HSBC (Firebrand PRINCE2® certified).

PRINCE2® Foundation / Practitioner - Testimonials

"This was my second time at Firebrand* and again the instructor was of the highest order. I have nothing but praise to heap on the instructor, the PRINCE2 course material was hard but he fully prepared everyone for both exams. I would reccomend TFirebrand* for anyone looking to gain certification."
Dale Jessop, 3M.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (21/5/2007 to 25/5/2007)

"Do your pre-course reading. It will make you feel more comfortable in your first couple of days on the course and the information is invaluable. Focus, work hard and you will see the benfits."
TC MILLER, 3b.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (4/12/2006 to 8/12/2006)

"Firebrand is by far the best training organization I have used so far. Very efficient and the trainer was superb. Food is very high quality and I throughly enjoyed my time spent there. Thank you."
Matt Jones, JOMC Ltd.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (14/1/2008 to 18/1/2008)

"Well organised, well presented and geared up to making the candidate succeed. Very good value for money."
Mark Thornhill, Contractor.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (10/9/2007 to 14/9/2007)

"PRINCE2 was a very intense course. All I had to think about was the learning. Everything else was taken care of. I strongly recommend this sort of training to anyone looking to pass exams. For any future training, my first port of call will be Firebrand*."
T Matharu, Regional co-ordination Unit.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (8/5/2006 to 12/5/2006)

"An excellent facility with highly qualified Prince2 trainers which leads itself to the accelerated learning environment. I would highly recommend."
Nicola McIlroy, air products.
PRINCE2 Prince2 2009 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (18/1/2010 to 22/1/2010)

"I have a background of 30 years in computing, so am used to demanding training courses and absorbing new information. Thorough preparation before attending the course is essential. Even though the Practitioner exam is open book, it is necessary to commit a lot of detailled information to memory and only use the books for reference to detail, for example contents of forms, if you want to complete all the questions within the allotted time. I found the actual Foundation exam was far more difficult than the practice papers. Practice papers were completed under exam conditions in 35-40 minutes. I needed the full hour allowed for the actual exam. I would certainly use Firebrand* / Maven again, and am hoping to attend the MSP course to complement my PRINCE2 training. The training material is more comprehensive than used by some other training providers used by colleagues in the past. "
Peter Mead, Redundant Local Government Officer.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (31/7/2006 to 4/8/2006)

"Excellent facility and knowledgable instructor made for a very positive experience."
KE, KKE Consultancy Ltd.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (1/9/2008 to 5/9/2008)

"The intensive one week course was ideal for me as home study is not really an option as I am not a studeous person. It is tough, you certainly do the studying that all the other students email says that you will do. If the class all get on this is great. After our first exam we all ended up in the bar for a well earned beer or several and a few games of snooker. I think it is good to have one night that you don't think about the course, as you tend to forget about the outside world and tend to only think about the course."
Robin Pettifer, Varian Medical Systems.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (20/2/2006 to 24/2/2006)

"Although the Prince2 course involved long hours of intense studying, the lessons were delivered in such a way that it was actually enjoyable! I am now Prince 2 qualified, and I have already had encouraging responses from potential employers."
Philip Musson, Self Employed.

SF, Ernst and Young Ltd.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (28/7/2008 to 1/8/2008)

"Firebrand* was superbly run from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed and the pace and subject focus was just right. The materials provided definitely give a competitive edge over other trainer centres."
Gavin White, Masterfoods UK, Mars.Inc.
PRINCE2 Prince 2 Foundation / Practitioner (5 Days) (20/3/2006 to 24/3/2006)

"I found the course interesting, enjoyable and hard work (and amusing!). All the other students were really nice and supportive, and the trainer was very helpful. The course content was PRINCE2 process driven, and included drilling in the processes to enforce student learning, and practical business based activities and case studies to develop student understanding. As the training days were long and involved two exams the course does absorb all your energies so my advice is to be prepared as best you can and don´t worry too much. If you participate in the course fully you should do alright. "
Renée Sheehan, Adult, Family and Community Learning Service, Doncaster Council.
