Office Specialist Certification - Testimonials

"I felt that Firebrand were excellent from start to finish."
C.M, MOD.

"The Firebrand Training is a really good instructor. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The course itself is really hard going though and I really needed to study beforehand to pass the exams which I didn't realize until I attended. I saw some feedback saying that it was 12 hour days - it was more like 16-17 hour days."
B.M, Marathon Oil.

"Very good environment for learning and very skilled instructors. I chose Firebrand Training for my Dynamics Developer training because it had good details in the website and easy to contact the customer service."
Vinod Thirugnanam, Intech ApS denmark.

John Davies, Acorn Recruitment.

"Overall a very good learning experience and test taking experience."
A.K, AVEVA Solution Ltd.

"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."

"Firebrand and specifically our trainer were fantastic, and the formula enabled me to achieve the qualifications I came for and set me up to complete my MCPD."
Thomas Payne, Myself.

"I think the CISA course needs to be 5 days long and more practice questions to encourage interaction. The instructor was good and shared experiences. Too many power point slides. Overall i enjoyed learning here"
Michael Peet, British American Tobacco.

"Firebrand Training for me was total immersion into a pool of learning presented by an instructor that had an amazing depth of knowledge all at my disposal. I felt comfortable and supported diving straight into what ended up being an intake of the most information in such a short period of time that I have been in for many years. At this moment in time I cannot fault the whole experience and I passed my CompTIA A+Network+ course :D"
Michael Wilcox, myself and friends.

"This is a fantastic experience. Prepare well and buckle down for your time there, you'll seldom have access to such expertise. Be sure to take a few days off afterwards to recover. You'll deserve it after your achievements at Firebrand."
C.C, Something wrong with this field.

"I found the Firebrand Training experience to be rather more taxing than I had believed possible, the word intense really does mean intense."
Paul Foley, Capital International.

"The MCITP Enterprise Administrator course was very intense and the hours were really long. The hardest thing I've ever had to do but the teaching was second to none. The instructor was the most un PC person I'd met and yet I love him and hope hell adopt me for his own. The instructor taught me insane amounts and made learning some of the really difficult and boring topics come to life and stick in my mind. I cant praise him enough. The instructor should take my advice on choices of cars though, as French is never a good idea. I chose Firebrand Training because they get the job done and teach you an inordinate amount of information in the space of time. "
Ross Jones, Hertfordshire Constabulary.

"After completing a few courses with Firebrand I have now come to expect the same level of training and commitment on all the courses I attend with them."
Andrew McKenna, MOD.

"The word immerse definitely holds, it was a very positive training experience where you can be in an environment that promotes rapid learning with the instructor on-hand pretty much whenever you need. Definitely recommended."
Shaun Whyte, Trader Media Group.

"I don't have much background knowledge on CEH, the trainer taught from basics. He spared extra time with me. I am really very much thankful to Firebrand and Luck."
Vamshiram Tulasi, www.informa.com.

"Overall everything was very satisfactory and I would recomend the CISSP course to others"
Tony Headford, Securiam.
