Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes we all have questions about certifications and their associated technologies that we don't know the answer to. These questions left unanswered could prevent us appropriately planning for certification success or troubleshooting a critical technology issue.

At times like that, wouldn't it be great to have an expert on hand to answer your burning questions?

That's the principle behind Firebrand's new FAQ project. Where we will seek to answer some of the big questions on your mind about training and certification.
