Career changers
CIW certification is an excellent way to enter the IT industry because vendor-neutral skill certifications address the roles and responsibilities of a specific position. CIW focuses on industry standards, and leading hardware and software technologies. Career changers are not limited by knowledge of only one IT platform.
Business professionals
A CIW certification demonstrates knowledge of industry standards, best practices, and leading hardware and software technology. Taking the time to learn new IT concepts shows a commitment to keep pace with today's technology-driven economy, to better understand a customer's business, and to become more self-sufficient by better understanding the technology on which almost every professional relies.
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.

Very hard work but the amount of information you learn is enormous!! Do not come here if you are not focused to learn."

Craig Goodwin, Optimum MBA.
"Excellent place to study and learn."
Kevin Cracknell, Anglia Business Solutions.

Would definately use Firebrand Training again."
S.C, Blue Rock Systems.

The courses are intense, but the delivery of the content is first class."

GB, LXE .
"A unique environment dedicated to achieving the goal of learning with focus and high volumes of material - then passing the exam(s)!"
Owen Haynes, Magnox North Limited.
"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.
"I was very impressed with the instructor. He delivered the course at the right pace and level to get through all the material, which is substantial! To any further students I can fully recommend this course and suggest they prepare as much as possible. "
Ralph Carter, AIM Technology.
"Being away to study and prepare for the exam was a very good method to concentrate and cleanse the mind ready for the course. "
Ayo Akinkunle, Metronet.
"Although my training at Firebrand Training was extremely hard work, it was an enjoyable experience. I came away having learnt a great deal of knowledge and passed the exams comfortably.
I will definitely consider Firebrand Training for any future education I require."
Ceri James, Thomson Broadband UK Ltd.
"The tutor was superb and I would highly recommend him to others.
Do not underestimate how hard you will have to work though. 14 hours a day is realistic."
Tim Clarke, AXA UK.
"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.
