Benefits

Seven reasons why you should sit your course with Firebrand Training

Two options of training. Choose between residential classroom-based, or online courses
You'll be certified fast. With us, you’ll be trained in record time
Our course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams**, accommodation* and meals*. No hidden extras.
Pass the first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course the first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
