"An extremely well delivered and informative course that I would recommend to anyone undertaking a Cyber Investigation role."
AS. (22/8/2022 (Monday) to 26/8/2022 (Friday))
"The course is extremely valuable in honing skills and understanding which will be used in Cybercrime and cyber enabled investigations. Both provided the skills but also the necessary background knowledge to support an awareness of what technical colleagues may be undertaking. Thereby enabling you to ask the correct questions in the right way earlier in an investigation."

"Informative course at a rate that helped class stay with content, if stuck were wiling to take a step back so that everyone had good understanding before moving onto next topic"

"My first Firebrand course but hopefully not my last. Thoroughly enjoyed the content, it was completely relevant to my role everything as described and delivered at the right level. The stand out for me was the trainers - experienced, enthusiastic and pragmatic. Nothing too much trouble and felt like a team environment. Thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile."
