Companies
Certification provides companies with skilled employees, leading to:

- 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.

IT Project+ Testimonials
"Very knowledgeable instructor!"
RL, euromoney.
"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.
"The training at Firebrand is excellent. They get the most important thing right. Choice of instructor."
PE, Logicalis.
"An environment created for learning for people keen and willing to learn. "
Richard Warner, Freelance IT Contractor.

David Olden, Self.
"The course met all my expectations.
Facilities were good & all staff were extremely helpful."
Jon Oakes, myself.

Ayo Akinkunle, Metronet.
"Firebrand Training provided a very good place to concentrate on my study without outside distractions. Days were long and study intense but everything was provided that was necessary for my learning experience. "
JM, JKIS Ltd.
"Very knowledgeable instructor!"
RL, euromoney.
"My god - I did not know I could learn so much in a week!!"
Ian Larkin, Sellafiel Ltd.
"A great course, perfect for professionals with too much to do and not enough time. Intense and pressurized, but still good fun and with excellent results."
Ian Walker, Walker ITC Ltd.
"Without a doubt a very intense 2 weeks. The ethos at the start of the course was you will get out of it what you put in and that is certainly true! The instructor was exceptional at delivering material, and giving us appropriate time for breaks and one to one where it was needed. Better than I ever expected!"
C.H., Azetch IT Solutions.
"i thoroughly recommend Firebrand Training whether for taking exams or furthering your knowledge - the staff are extremely knowledgeable and caring - the facilities are great and the overall experience is a very positive and encouraging one - recommended to all without a doubt."
Amonn al-Mahrouq, A.N.A Publishing Limited.
"Very knowledgeable instructor!"
RL, euromoney.
"Very good location, extremely good instructors and a good atmosphere. I did MCSE 2003 at home on my own and it was not the same. It is so good having other people to talk to about the subject. Also being away from home means much more time is spent learning and not being distracted. I strongly recommend Firebrand Training to anybody wanting to get qualified (and quick too!)"
Tom Sage, Balfour Beatty (interroute).
"Firebrand Training is one of the most excellent institute, as it takes you to different world where you can find comfortable environment for useful studying and preparing for exams. Moreover, everyone in Firebrand is working for you (i.e instructor, bus driver, staff, chef)."
Naif Al-Dossary, SABIC.
"The experience was very intense but it provides you with the focus to pass the exams."
John Rogerson, QGate Software Limited.
"This was the hardest, most intense course I have ever been on, but it was worth every minute!!!"
Lee Cullip, KITS.
"This seriously is the best training course I have ever been on. Great teacher, great food and one excellent location. 5 stars."
James Gardiner, SystemC.
"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.
"The training course with Firebrand was excellent, I do not believe I could have acheived my results in another setting or with another style of teaching."
Nathan Lee Cartwright, Contoso.com, its all I can think of! Seriously though, its SafeCom.
"A first-class course, well delivered by an excellent instructor."
Trevor Riley, PSU Technology Group.
"The exams are tough but Firebrand gives you the best shot at passing."
Neil Barton, Self.
"I would like to thank my instructor for providing a first class standard of instruction for what was a difficult course (CCVP).
To have maintained this high standard for the whole 14 days is exceptional."
Paul Watt, Mactek Systems (own co. as contractor).
"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.
"Hard, demanding work but does exactly what is described. Excellent preparation, especially from insights into test question structure and technique. Not for the faint hearted but well worth the effort. "
KML, Veriisign UK.
"Although the course comprised long days, the time went by very quickly. One of the advantages of intensive courses like this is that there is no time to get bored!"
David Leighton, Capita.
"Accelerated learning at Firebrand Training was a like a baptism of Fire"
David Wakeman,
