Certified Linux Professional 10 Training Testimonials

"Many thanks to Firebrand Training and especially the instructor, as I would have never got through the material and taken the exams. Now I am a qualified MCTS in ASP.NET 3.5, and ADO.NET 3.5. One thing to note - this is not a picnic, be prepared to work hard and put the hours in."
Richard Tappenden, Education Direct Ltd.

"I never thought I would get through 8 days of training 12-14 hours a day, plus doing homework. However the ideal environment, helpful staff and amazing instructor all helped us to focus on the task at hand and our common goal, rather than what time of day (or night!) it was. Truly an experience, not just your regular training. "
Azim Husain, PA Consulting Group.

Luke McGrane, ICS Group UK.

"Efficient, no frills training which concentrated on delivery."

James Rose, The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust.

"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 !!"
