CompTIA IT Project+ - Overview
The CompTIA IT Project+ certification validates your knowledge and abilities as an IT project manager.
CompTIA IT Project+ certification is a vendor-neutral credential recognized worldwide. Having an IT Project+ certification is proof that you have the critical knowledge of business practices, interpersonal skills and project management processes, in addition to the ability to effectively plan, implement and complete IT projects on time and within your budget.
The IT Project+ Accelerated Certification Program is appropriate for the following job functions:
- Programmer, Senior Level
- Project Manager, Intermediate Level
- Project Manager, Entry Level
- Software Architect, Senior Level
Our CompTIA IT Project+ Program
- Allows you to achieve your certification in a fraction of the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
- Helps students grasp concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
- Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
CompTIA IT Project+ - Benefits

Overall, those who have received project management certification through professional associations earn about $5,000 a year more than those without certifications.
Individuals
Having proof of your skills and knowledge gives you the edge over other candidates when you're applying for a job, providing:
- Proof of professional achievement

Companies
Certification provides companies with skilled employees, leading to:
- Increasing customer satisfaction & repeat business
- Simplified recruiting and hiring
- Lower training costs
- Greater customer satisfaction
- Measurable competence standards
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.

Microsoft MCPD Enterprise Applications Developer (13 Days) (3/3/2008 to 16/3/2008)

Matthew Edmundson, NDS.
Microsoft MCTS SQL Server 2005 (5 Days) (9/6/2008 to 13/6/2008)
"You might not think it is possible to cram the whole MCSE into 14 days but believe me at Firebrand they manage it. Every day is 12-14 hours and after an exam is done you get very little time to recover before getting back into studying for the next one.
This is not an easy course and is not for the faint-hearted. You need conviction and determination if you want to succeed.
That said, the surroundings at Heythrop Park are beautiful, the staff are all very helpful and the food is amazing. If it wasnt for the all the learning and exams it would probably make for a nice holiday!
I would definitely consider using Firebrand for my future training and development needs."
