"Firebrand did a good job despite the challenges of students being unable to attend their Wyboston campus, having to host a course online through Webex due to the current circumstances. "
Ashley Mckenzie, Lloyds Banging Group. (22/6/2020 (Monday) to 24/6/2020 (Wednesday))
"Overall experience was great. Staff are friendly and helpful in all areas.
Food is fantastic!"
Martin Whitton, STL Communications. (16/3/2020 (Monday) to 18/3/2020 (Wednesday))
"Training provided has been great. Excellent facilities too. One thing that could be improved upon is clarifying if students are entered into the exam before starting the course maybe in the confirmation email? as I was not told that I was not entered for the exam before the course and now have to do it at a later date. Other than that 10/10."
Charlie Stokes, Fidelity International. (4/11/2019 (Monday) to 6/11/2019 (Wednesday))
