MCTS .NET 3.5 WPF Applications & Silverlight - Testimonials

"Put in as much preparation as you can before you arrive as there is no time wasted once you arrive! Our tutor did an excellent job of ensuring the long hours and intense effort put in was rewarded. Make sure you are confident you cover the course prerequisites - there is no time to cover any gaps outside of the curriculum."
Juston Buchanan, PrimS Limited.

"I really enjoyed the intensive training, Firebrand style, on the CCNA course. I chose the two-stage CCNA certification route by doing the 3 day ICND1 course (and gaining CCENT certification) then returning a month later for the 3 day ICND2 course. This gave me more time to prepare for ICND2 as it is much tougher than ICND1. My instructor was superb."
Alan Gray, Unemployed.

"The MCITP Server Administrator course does what it says on the tin......it gets you certified!!!!! but be prepared for late nites, early mornings and lots of hard work!"
Nicholas Jones, South Hook LNG.

"This course provides a great environment for ‘Zero distraction’ studying. The CISSP CBK covers a huge amount of material that would have taken much longer to cover if you were to study at home (particularly given the demands of work and family). I feel that whilst the marketing material claims that pre-reading isn’t required (and to be honest, it isn’t essential), covering the 10 domains yourself before the course would help enormously. That being said, it is possible to complete the course without pre-reading, just expect to work extremely hard."
Ben Atkins, wirral council.

"Thank you. The experience and qualification will be very useful"
Craig Taylor, NATO.

"I am happy overall and my instructor was of the highest quality and his availability to help in out of hours study was outstanding. "
Chris Atkinson, unemployed.

"The training was outstanding, something i have not yet experienced at any other training centre. Definately worth the time and the effort."
Marko Tisler, NIL.

"Fantastic experience, exceeded my expectations. Long days and hard work but was amazed at how much learnt in such a short time."
Shafeeq Norodien, BFI Ltd.

"It was good. For a person in with my personal circumstances, it is the only way I could have achieved this kind of focus on the course material. The place is well run and very accomodating. As the particular course I did was hugely intense, the tutor offered great support and had a teaching style which would have appealed to a wide audience."
Peter McCormack, Pinewood Technologies.

"I never believed in short-intense courses before and half-way through was not sure, suddenly it all clicked into place and came clear!"
M.K, Delarue.

"The Firebrand Training experience is not one to be taken lightly. As they say you get out of it what you put in. Be prepared for long days and not much sleep. The rewards for putting in the hours and for making sure you understand the materials will ensure you leave Firebrand with the certifications you or your company came for. Well worth the effort do it!!!"
Daniel Thompson, JENDEV.

"Overall, my experience at Firebrand Training was a positive one. The instructor was extrememly knowledgeable and had an excellent way of explaining often complicated concepts, in a manner that was easy to understand. However, for me personally, the intensity of the learning didn't leave me with adequate capacity for exam preparation, in terms of time and energy."
Carl Johnston, National Institute for Health Research.

"Fantastic facilities, brilliant, superb Prince2 2009 learning experience with positive outcomes."
Mike Hill, self employed.

"In addition to the very clean and well maintained training facility at Wyboston Lakes, the training content (including the Instructor) is second to none. If you attend Firebrand Training for just fun and a few days out of the office, then im afraid you are at the wrong place. The instructors and staff are totally committed to help those who want to succeed in learning new technologies (and achieve certification). The 24 hour access to the labs is extremely worthwhile. A special thanks to our instructor. I chose Firebrand Training for my Dynamics CRM training needs because Firebrand was recommended by our Microsoft Partner manager, Antony Ford."
Jan Mohamed, NetCom Solutions UK Ltd.

"The SharePoint training provided an excellent opportunity to master the intricacies of the platform in an unbelievably short time. The trainer was excellent with indepth understanding of the platform and the labs were well equiped with the required software. I wish I had attended the SharePoint 2007 course much earlier. "
Ekhorutomwen Asemota, Capgemini.

"This without a doubt the most efficient course I have ever attended. Especially the way high level training was coupled to my situation at home worded well."
Jens Riis, Bornholms Regionskommune.

"The accommodation was fantastic, and the educational facilities were very conducive to learning. It truly is a full-submersion course, and you cant help but leave with an abundance of information. I'm looking forward to taking the ECSA - LPT course in 5 months time. I chose Firebrand Training for my Certified Ethical Hacker course because the website was informative and EC-Council confirmed reputation of Firebrand Training."
Daniel Azgour, Opera Solutions Ltd.

"My eight days at Firebrand on the Dynamics CRM course was an intensive and extreme learning experience. Long days, with huge amounts of information to cram in, but all made possible by the instructors engaging, enthusiastic and well balanced approach to training. I couldn't recommend Firebrand, and especially this course, highly enough. The accommodation was good, the food great and plentiful, the staff helpful and courteous. There was also a much needed, never ending supply, of coffee. So overall, a brilliant experience, and I leave Firebrand knowing rather more about Dynamics CRM, than I did on Saturday the 6th of February. I chose the Dynamics CRM course with Firebrand because it was recommended to me internally at Microsoft by a number of people."
Damian Conrad, Microsoft.

"Firebrand Training Linux Professional courses are long days and lots of hard work, but the environment is pleasant and relaxed. Food is nice, facilities in the training center are good and my instructor was in attendance until late in the evening to give help and encouragement. "
C.S, xxx.
