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

  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.

MCTS .NET 3.5 WPF Applications & Silverlight - Testimonials

"Whilst being extremely hard work the instructor on the course melded real life experince with the course material to enhance the learning experience. This meant that instead of just learning facts and figures you had a mental picture of how a particualr issue could be applied. To my mind this is key is fully appreciating certain topics. Overall all, long tiring and hard work, but well worth the experience."

If you are willing to put in the effort, this is the quickest way to learn new technologies, or fill in your knowledge gaps for the Exams. If you are a slow learner, or have no experience, then this may not be the place for you. The food is worth looking forward to every day. Well recommended."

MCPD Upgrade from MCAD to MCPD (7 Days) (14/1/2008 to 20/1/2008)

"The course was fantastic. It is obviously very intensive but there is a lot of information to cover. I absolutely loved that you didn't just teach me how to pass the exams, you taught me .NET development. I was there more for the knowledge than for learning how to pass the exams so for me, this was awesome. The food was great, the accommodations simple but clean, the people awesome. Overall, I say great job and I would absolutely come back for the second part to get my MCSD."
