MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator - Testimonials
"Knackering but worth it! I you are prepared to do the work you reap the rewards!"
Michele Curtis, NHS Supply Chain.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (1/9/2008 to 13/9/2008)
"I found the course to be very enjoyable, yet at the same time rapid, highly intensive and tough going.
There is a common goal between the students in that we all want to succeed.
My instructor was truly fantastic, went out of his way to explain things to the nth degree to the class and also on a one to one basis. The instructor certainly knows his subject, his class is certainly not boring, he was also very charismatic and patient and inspired me with confidence.
The instructor first demonstrates how something actually works before going through the explanatory slides and gives extra bits of useful information when he feels necessary.
I feel very comfortable in the fact that I have attended this course and that I have all the necessary learning materials at my disposal and now I aim to continue with my studies, purchase a decent machine that supports Virtual machine technology and to practice as much as I can. "
Andrew Bowles.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (24/5/2010 to 5/6/2010)
"I've enjoyed my two weeks here and would definitely use Firebrand again."
S.R.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (19/7/2010 to 31/7/2010)
"Due to my hectic work schedule working around the world for Honeywell I do not get the opportunity to dedicate random days over a long period for training in centres or self study. Firebrand was the only company I found who was able to supply a bootcamp environment with training and accommodation in Europe that met the training and exam criteria for the MCITP(EA). This 13 day course is not a course for the 9 to 5 worker. To pass the exam you require hard work and dedication from yourself and your instructor. Firebrand was able to supply the right facilities and people to do the job. I chose Firebrand Training because of bootcamp training and the ability to do exams directly after the course."
Kurt Forster, Honeywell.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (1/2/2010 to 13/2/2010)
"It is appropriate that Firebrand retained the "Training" part in the name as the knowledge you receive on their courses really goes towards implementing real life scenarios - in the thirteen days I spent on the MCITP EA course I learned more than I could have thought possible in such a short space of time. It has been a valuable and rewarding experience that I would recommend to anybody serious about IT training in a heartbeat.
Also my instructor cant be praised enough for his ability to teach (extremely well!) while maintaining a great sense of humour and ensuring that the long lecture days are rarely boring. Thanks!
"
Peter Crane, Yes Information Technology.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (26/4/2010 to 8/5/2010)

Steve Lewis-Evans.
Microsoft MCITP Enterprise & Server Administrator (13 Days) (19/7/2010 to 31/7/2010)

"
Ben Gillion.
