The CISM training was well worth the money. I\'ve learned about Information Security Management at blistering speed and felt well-prepared to take the ISACA exam. Our trainer, has been absolutely fantastic throughout the experience. I look forward to applying CISM to my work and helping my clients achieve the right level of security!

I recently completed the CCAK and could not have been more impressed with the course and trainer. The content was highly relevant and tailored to the individuals set against real world experiences. The instructor was highly skilled and knowledgeable and added value to the course. The hands on experience and learning built my confidence in applying this course content to my daily work I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to gain more exposure into Cloud auditing and security.

Quite nicely taught- especially with the whiteboard to simplify the concepts. Also, a nice balance maintained by the trainer with presentation, questions, whiteboard. It is not an easy course but the 4 days gave targeted insights and will help me prepare for this exam.

I wanted to express my gratitude for the way in which our instructor managed the CISM course this week. Whilst it was heavy going at times not surprising given the volume of material to cover, he made the training enjoyable and informative. I am almost feeling confident in the topics and am inspired to explore these topics further for both knowledge and exam taking perspective. Attending the course was a good decision and makes me feel that I am well-placed to approach the day-to-day work tasks/responsibilities. Thanks again for your thorough and supportive approach. Cheers!

I genuinely had a good time participating in this training. The onboarding process start with the welcoming email which present the web interface and other useful details needed to participate to the training, and then take the exam. Now the training and more importantly the trainer. He was really good in presenting abstract concepts in plain English with reliable example. Simply put he know his topic. The training documentations materials are really, well put together.

Excellent trainer, covering in 2 days a training course of almost 300 pages. Many practical examples, really preocupated to make us understand the notions. I did not give maximum, because I think it is a too short course for so much information.

This is the second training plus certification course I am doing with Firebrand and I have had a great experience. The instructor Richard M. on this CISSP course was great and extremely knowledgable, had a great sense of humour which helped to make this vast and dry topic very interesting. The logistics of the course were well arranged and the staff were extremely supportive, all of which goes towards a great trainee experience.
