MCPD Enterprise Applications Developer Testimonials

"I would highly recommend the Firebrand Training courses to anybody including non-industry people. The courses are intense, but the delivery of the content is first class."
Mark Gambrell, MTA Solicitors.

"It was good to be in a dedicated learning environment away from every day distractions. But be prepared for long days and lots of self study. Also with the help and expertise of the tutor I have increased my knowledge of Oracle and know in what areas I need to do further studying. The accommodation was good and the food excellent."
IB, Microgen Ltd.

"I arrived on a Sunday evening not knowing anyone or done anything like this before. I knew it was going to be tough and i expected to be worked hard. After arriving we quickly got into the class room and were learning new and old material and really pushing for our goals. We started early, and finished late, but i dont think there is a better way to learn. We were given reassurance and any problem we had was dealt with brillaintly. The food was gorgeous, the room was nice, and the staff would happily help out. In the 13days I have been here, I have learnt a hell of alot more than I would if I took the course over a long period. Was a great place to be, recommend it to anyone. I think now I have the addiction, it wont be long before im back. Luke"
LT, Self Employed.

"A really great place to learn. Beautiful surroundings, great food, and truely world-class experienced and qualified trainers. On top of that - fantastic facilities for you to get stuck in and learn without distractions. You do have to work hard, but theres plenty of support to help you do it. I will definitely look to Firebrand Training when I feel it is time for my next IT qualifications."
James Wells, WebCertain Europe Limited.

"I knew that the week was to be intensive and tough, but nothing prepared me for the amount of work that had to be put in to successfully gain the certifications. I can safely say that the week was the hardest I have ever worked (I averaged about 5 hours sleep a night). If youre prepared to put in the time and do the work, then you will gain the certifications. The course material was good and, coupled with the recommended reading, hands-on labs, was more than enough to gain the certifications. "
Kevin Lam, Heath Lambert.

"It was overall a nice experience and I will not hesitiate to return or recommend a friend. "
Nonso Okechukwu, Bureau of Public Ent.Nigeria.

"A very professional and focused experience."
Rasmus Lamp Posselt, Proinfo A/S.

"My instructor was Mark Percy and he is 1st class. Certainly calmed my nerves and prepared me fully."
Chay Spratley, Gebronics Ltd.

"I never spent so many late nights up, where alcohol and women were not involved. But it was well worth the effort and the end of the week. I would recommend Firebrand Training to anyone. "
Lloyd McGregor, CapGemini.

"Was a very intense experience, and half way through was not sure that it was going to be of benefit. But reaching the end successfully completing both exams and now have a greater breath of knowledge than I thought I could achieve, two days in!"
Sandra Campbell, Instalec Networking Ltd.

"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.

Nigel Starkey, ...

Ian Spreadborough, Ship Safe Training GroupLtd.

"Der Kurs ist sehr hart, sehr viel Wissen in sehr kurzer Zeit. 15-16 Stunden taeglich. Es ist sehr hilfreich breite Vorkenntnisse zu haben. Ein sehr grosser Vorteil ist, dass die Teacher Praxiserfahrung haben und wissen worueber sie reden. Vor allem das nicht alle Antworten richtig sind, sondern in der Praxis falsch. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Anbietern wo reine Theoretiker sitzen, ist dies ein sehr grosser Vorteil. Die kleine Kursgroesse traegt dazu bei, dass das Lernen sehr effizient ist."
Thomas Freyer, Atos Worldline Processing.

"I am very glad I chose Firebrand training, you get what you pay for. Everything was well prepared, the cirriculum was well designed and facilities were excellent. I have pretty much decided to do my Security+ and CISSP courses here on the grounds that my instructor was brilliant and obviously had a great passion for security."
Damion Wright, PC World.

"It was a tough experience, long days, lots of material, but coupled with outstanding tuition, good food, and a great class, and of course a PASS! It was worth it!"
