According to a recent survey developed by RHI Consulting, 23 percent of CIOs named project management as the area in which their staffs could use the most improvement.
Human Resources
- Employer-funded training and certification programs are a key to retaining skilled IT staff. Career development and advancement opportunities are shown to significantly reduce rates of employee turnover.
- Certification Training Programs provide benchmarks for hiring and promotion decisions by accurately assessing technical skills.
- For-certification training programs maximize educational investments through immediate validation of skills.
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including
- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study
This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

"I arrived at Heythrop armed with warnings and general foreboding of people who had trodden the path before so had read the course manuals and played about with CRM before arriving.
The course is intense yet rewarding. 17 hour days were initially a shock but by day 7 are second nature. The instructor was top notch and full of real world advice. The attendees were from a wide range of backgrounds yet everyone pulled together for revision sessions which helped massively to pass the exams. In short, hard work but rewarding. One tip, do not arrive without preparing."
Robert Boyers, Cal Software Ltd.
"I never knew I could learn or absorb so much material in such a short time. I definitely will be back. My IT friends will surely hear of Firebrand.

He seems to eat, drink, and sleep SQL."

"Der Kurs ist sehr hart, sehr viel Wissen in sehr kurzer Zeit. 15-16 Stunden taeglich. Es ist sehr hilfreich breite Vorkenntnisse zu haben.
Ein sehr grosser Vorteil ist, dass die Teacher Praxiserfahrung haben und wissen worueber sie reden. Vor allem das nicht alle Antworten richtig sind, sondern in der Praxis falsch.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Anbietern wo reine Theoretiker sitzen, ist dies ein sehr grosser Vorteil. Die kleine Kursgroesse traegt dazu bei, dass das Lernen sehr effizient ist."
Thomas Freyer, Atos Worldline Processing.
"Hard work but well worth it."
CP, ScS.
"The training centre provided the best learning environment I have ever been in. The days were long, but productive and were made easier by a flexible attitude to breaks and modes of study. The lecturer was very well versed in his subject and his enthusiasm was infectious (well, almost!)."
Julia Halliday, Morrisons PLC.
"The course is long, hard but worth it. Im now fully qualified MCTS Web, Windows and Distributed Apps."
Luke McGrane, ICS Group UK.
