Certified System Administrator for Sun Cluster 3.2 Software - Testimonials

"The Firebrand Training experience is not one to be taken lightly. As they say you get out of it what you put in. Be prepared for long days and not much sleep. The rewards for putting in the hours and for making sure you understand the materials will ensure you leave Firebrand with the certifications you or your company came for. Well worth the effort do it!!!"
Daniel Thompson, JENDEV.

Shafeeq Norodien, BFI Ltd.

E.D, British Energy.

I.H, Catlin Underwriting.

"The Firebrand Training experience is superb if you enjoy working at a fast pace. Though the days are long they really don't seem because you are constantly using your brain and learning."
Andrew Price, Insolvency Service.

"The MCITP Server Administrator course does what it says on the tin......it gets you certified!!!!! but be prepared for late nites, early mornings and lots of hard work!"
Nicholas Jones, South Hook LNG.

"I would not hesitate to recommend this course. The instructor knew his material, and the facilities and the staff made it easy to concentrate on the course. I have never taken a course were there where a 100% pass rate before. Speaks for itself."
Anon.,
Datacon.

"This was a very intense MCSE course and by day 6 of 14 it was a struggle to stay focused. Also the Instructor has to try to cater for every students current knowledge and skills and therefore you may find yourself going over areas you are already comfortable with. - That said, it gives you an ideal opportunity to revise in other areas. Overall an intense but potentially very rewarding experience. I chose Firebrand Training for my MCSE course because Firebrand provides you the shortest way to achieve a qualification/accreditation at a reasonable price and in a suitable learning environment."
R.O, Renaissance Computer Services.

"It was an intense few weeks and if you don't do the work on a daily basis, then I would still suggest coming along to the course and deferring the exams as there is a lot of extra information that is not in the exam books that you will find very useful."
Neil Poole, Central Networks.

"Fantastic experience, exceeded my expectations. Long days and hard work but was amazed at how much learnt in such a short time."
Shafeeq Norodien, BFI Ltd.

"Firebrand Training is the way forward, whether you are approaching a topic with entry level knowledge or just want to get the qualification for what you already know, this is the place to do it! I've been on four courses at Firebrand now and after each one I've come away with the qualification and knowing a vast amount more than I did. Expect long days and a lot of time in the classrom; but if you can accept that, you will get the result at the end of the week!"
Russ Cashman, Reliance High-Tech.

"A excellent way to gain valuable experience in the field of IT. The Firebrand Training instructors have so much knowledge to give to you that everyone will always leave with a better understanding and with that better qualifications."
Ian Cochrane, hm forces.

"The Firebrand Training instructor we had was the most competent technical training instructor I have experienced in the last 17 years in the communications industry. Wayne Love (CCIE 4485)"
Wayne Love, SITA.

"Very good location both in terms of class/labs and accommodation. An enjoyable albeit hard week. I will return soon. Thanks. I chose Firebrand Training for my CCNA course because it looked to be one of the best when I searched."
Willian Brian Jones, United Nations.

"Very focused, very efficient and effective at understanding the core Prince2 2009 concepts and understanding how this can be applied in the workplace."
Nick Dunstone, Tectura.

"I really enjoyed the intensive training, Firebrand style, on the CCNA course. I chose the two-stage CCNA certification route by doing the 3 day ICND1 course (and gaining CCENT certification) then returning a month later for the 3 day ICND2 course. This gave me more time to prepare for ICND2 as it is much tougher than ICND1. My instructor was superb."
Alan Gray, Unemployed.

"Really enjoyed the course, it was long hours but I knew it would be a lot of work. The instructor was really good and I found it amazing how well I absorbed all the information. He came up with really good ways of remembering things. It was well worth all the effort as I'm now qualified after just 2 weeks! Id recommend the course to anyone! I chose Firebrand because I had been wanting to do the MCITP EA training for a while and had been looking at self learning. Due to a lot of travel and long hours with work I couldn't commit to this so knew that a boot camp would be much better suited. I knew somebody that had been on the MCSE 2003 course about 18 month before and he said he would recommend it. K3 have also sent a number of people on Microsoft Dynamics courses and they are on the Firebrand website so going with Firebrand made complete sense. "
Gareth Kee, None.

"Be prepared to work and you will benefit."
Gordon Caffrey , Atmel.

"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.

"Once again the Firebrand experience has given me a lot of knowledge in such a very short space of time which has contributed to my certification. Much better than conventional, spread out courses."
Neil Hamshaw, Norfolk County Council.

"Instructor was excellent , had a good grasp of level of understanding of candidates and focused on helping to improve in weak areas."
Mahendran Mani, Friends Reunited.

"Great place to study, fantastic atmosphere and brilliant experience. "
A.O, Forth Ports PLC.

"Firebrand Training has helped me alot to remain focused and to actually do things I never though I could do. It has made me realise that to achieve you need to put in more than 100% and for further references I will remember to do so in order to achieve the best of my ability.. Firebrand is a really nice place to be and the people around are really helpfull as everyone is here more enough for the same reason. Even though i was not interested as much in these fields of I.T, I actually started to gain interest in it and learnt a lot more then i expected... THANK YOU FIREBRAND for the experience and knowledge."
Suraj Subron, Oasis Hadley Academy.

"An excellent facility with highly qualified Prince2 trainers which leads itself to the accelerated learning environment. I would highly recommend."

"The course, facilities and trainer really provided a great environment for learning in. An intensive but rewarding time!"
Michael Rowe, HSBC Merchant Services.
