MCTS .NET - Web Applications Training Testimonials

"Accelerated learning was the best way of getting trained and certified as you are fully immersed for the whole length of the course."
Christopher Frith, Landmarc Support Services Ltd.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (23/6/2008 to 29/6/2008)

"When they say intensive they mean it! 8:30 to 8:00 every day and 3 or 4 hours of homework every day. I have not worked this hard in a long long time. The breaks we did get meant eating the very good food, far top fast to enjoy it! Bring your MP3 player if you need music to study as it's quiet and beautiful surroundings are sometimes a bit too quiet!"
Richard Young, UBS AG .
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (31/3/2008 to 6/4/2008)

"Great course, facilites and instructor - definitely as advertised (accelerated and immersive!)"
Allan McCulloch, Avian Communications.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (31/3/2008 to 6/4/2008)

"The facilities were of a high standard and the staff very courteous."
DS, Kelvin kbb Ltd.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (14/7/2008 to 20/7/2008)

"Firebrand Training is clearly very hard work, but it provides a excellent environment for studying. My own opinion is that if the goal is to come out of the week with some form of accreditation, then prior knowledge of the material is required, as the pace of learning is simply too fast to make up ground on any areas not understood straight-away."
Michael Scott, AstraZeneca.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (29/10/2007 to 4/11/2007)

"Very very intense, just when you think your day is done (usually when your evening lab is completed at 9pm) - you then get another 5 chapters to read for the following day. Total immersion that I have never experienced before; funnily enough after 2-3 days I became acclimatised; wil probably miss it when I get home : )"
Tony Clarke, Self Employed Contractor.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (10/12/2007 to 16/12/2007)

"Very good experience. I have been twice on this centre and will come back (obviously when next version of .Net Microsoft release:). The Tutor is very knowledgable. He worked also on industry and explained a lot of real-time examples. Definetly recommended."
Eni Elezi, cambridge education.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (18/2/2008 to 24/2/2008)

"The learning experience is very, very intense but is necessary given the limited time of each course. You have to be comitted to studying and training. The environment is ideal for for this, and focusing on passing the exams."
PG, Serco.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (23/6/2008 to 29/6/2008)

"Fast and furious pace of learning. Great food. Better be motivated."
Frederic, Dorset software.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (3/3/2008 to 9/3/2008)

"Excellent course, well organised."
Xiaoyi Yao, ISA Ltd.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (3/3/2008 to 9/3/2008)

"The course was very difficult (not hard, just draining), you dont know until you are actually there, but it is well worth it. I learnt so much more than any other course I have been on (over a dozen), and the environment and tests encourage you to push yourself further. Unless you are already an expert in the technology without extra reading you will not pass the exams, and preparing for them helps to cement the knowledge in your brain. The food is good and you do not go hungry with all the snacks provided. "
Christopher Gray, E-on UK.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (10/12/2007 to 16/12/2007)

Sarah Durham, Achilles Group Limited.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (26/5/2008 to 1/6/2008)

"Read up prior to coming on the course as this is not for the faint hearted. You must switch off from the outside world for the course, and keep on going. Overall you come out with a lot of ideas and hopefully a certification too."
Mustafa Bashir, Yorkshire Building Society.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (29/10/2007 to 4/11/2007)
