"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here at Firebrand. Let noone be under any illusion that you wont work hard as the course is intensive and demanding. However, that said, the staff and instructors are excellent and the food is simply superb and the accomodation very comfortable. I would recommend anyone wanting to get a real-world knowledge of their product, rather than a exam-by-numbers approach adopted by other companies to come to Firebrand, as you can guarantee going away with knowledge to further your career in your chosen field.
