E|CSA & L|PT Certification Testimonials

"This is a professional and well delivered course. However do not consider such a condensed course if you are either inexperienced in the IT field or you are unprepared! The Comptia certification is not a soft or easy option for the inexperienced! Prepare to work very hard for very long hours and you may be rewarded for your efforts."
Simon Chandler, DJO UK Ltd.

"Hard work but the tutor's teaching is the Mutts-nuts. Think zero-to-hero montage from the 80s."
Blair A Kelly, company-net.

"I went in to this course knowing it would be a hard slog. And it was 9am till 12pm every day is needed to try and get all the information in even if like me you had been using the products for 2 years. Do not attempt the course without experience if you want the full qualification it would be a waste. "
Neill Riordan, Nothing.

"I am now an absolute advocate of learning in this fashion. I am positive that, if I just review the material for one hour a day for the next 2 weeks to move it from short-term to long-term memory, that the knowledge will stay with me forever - whereas the slower pace of traditional courses allows for info to be forgotten by the time you leave the classroom !!"
James Wagner, Marks and Spencer.

"Firebrand does it again! The rate of learning at these courses is phenomenal, having taken both my CCNA and now a MCTS: SQL Server 2k5 with Firebrand I am now a full convert of the method of teaching employed here. The course structure leans itself to a very aggressive learning curve, but if you stay with it the results will follow. The passion, enthusiasm and patience that the instructor presents every day for the subject and the class really helps you get to grips with the material in the 5 days. One last thing, the food here is fantastic; I attribute this alongside the excellent teaching staff to my success on the course."
