                        If I have to go for another training course, I would go to the Firebrand website and register for one blindly.

                        The course is very informative with a lot of good material; any student that attends needs to prepare for long days and nights for study. I feel very confident in the material that I received while attending this course. The instructor was very knowledgeable on the subject matter, approachable, and had a great sense of humour. I will attend Firebrand training if I need a good understanding on any other training needs I may have in the future.

                        I will definitely recommend Firebrand to my colleagues for future training. The CISM training I attended from Firebrand was good.  The trainer was extremely good and having very good knowledge and command in the subject. It was an excellent opportunity to know more about the enterprise security management concepts through this course and I would like to rate the trainer 9 out of 10.

                        This was a very intensive course, where we were working 14 hrs or so each day. A dedicated, energetic and knowledgeable lecturer still made the course very interesting and practical. Also the service from the local Firebrand office in Dubai was very expedient and helpful.

                        The course is great and I recommend the instructor for this course. I have been on other courses but the instructors were good but they don’t make it fun and they don’t make you enjoy it while learning at the same time.  I recommend our instructor. He delivers the whole thing plus makes you enjoy it at the same time.

The trainer was also very well rounded with a wealth of experience which he brings to bear during the course.

                        Firebrand team were very detailed in giving information about the courses and outcomes' expectation. The program was fully organised and monitored. 
The course itself was a great experience and I couldn't have imagined it better; it exceeded my expectations.
