"Effective training course, I absolutely prefer classroom training and full focus for a course like this. Instructor was good at adding knowledge and engaging the group in interesting discussions."
BL, Norstat. (3.7.2024 (Wednesday) to 5.7.2024 (Friday))

"First time at Firebrand, great experience and instructor."
Roger De Sousa. (24.1.2024 (Wednesday) to 26.1.2024 (Friday))

"Great trainers, very knowledgable, great facilities"
Bob Sampson. (24.1.2024 (Wednesday) to 26.1.2024 (Friday))

"I would definitely recommend that you do the onsite training rather than remote. Though remote was practical, I believe face to face engagement would add more value as its the conversations you have during breaks, evenings etc that also add value."
Luke Walshe, British Telecommunication. (10.5.2023 (Wednesday) to 12.5.2023 (Friday))

"Our instructor was very professional and provided alot of detail in the course. He also provided support on the admin aspects /paperwork that needed to be completed for the exam"
Kate Wood, Bridewell. (10.5.2023 (Wednesday) to 12.5.2023 (Friday))
