Microsoft - MCTS .NET 3.5 WPF Applications & Silverlight - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your .NET 3.5 course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be .NET 3.5 certified in just 5 days. With us, you’ll be .NET 3.5 trained in record time
  2. Our .NET 3.5 course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass .NET 3.5 first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your .NET 3.5 course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more .NET 3.5. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn .NET 3.5 faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily

  7. You'll do more than study .NET 3.5 courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.
