"Although intensive course, helps me to be confident about the exam."
LS, Ford Retail.
"An intensive course but producing good results!
Whilst the orientation is mis-leading and actually leads you straight into your first nights learning experience, you quickly adjust to its intensive nature.
The accomodation is simple, but enough to get a good nights rest and to study in private.
3 meals a day are provided and the catering staff try to accomodate as much as possible. But there is a huge range of snacks, soft drinks, tea & coffee to keep you going in-between.
Overall a great way to remove yourself from your daily distractions and get on with the task of getting certified as quickly as possible.
Definitely recommended, however a prior knowledge of working with Dynamics (or any other) CRM and a grounding on MS Windows/Servers will definitely help give you a jump start on certain elements of this course."
Phil Midgley, Collins Stewart Wealth Management.

AS, Dealogic.
"Enjoyable training time with an instructor that made the course light hearted but remained focus on the key areas.
Firebrand Training were quick to address the issues we had with the hotel, and staff at the main training centre where we took our exams were great. Very efficient and friendly. Helped maintain the relaxed atmosphere."
Paul Dunlop, Perfect Image Limited.
"What sets Firebrand apart is the caliber of the instructors, full stop!"
Stephen Joy, Peavey Electronics LTD.
"Work hard and you will be rewarded - no exam is easy but you are given every opportunity to pass at Firebrand Training. Rewarding.
Pre-course reading and preparation helps you throught the week. The Firebrand instructors are excellent at driving the information home with further clarity though.
