Adam Sanderson, Keyzo. (22/3/2021 (Monday) to 24/3/2021 (Wednesday))
"I had failed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam multiple times before coming to Firebrand Training. The OIL course was great and the Instructor was very clear and helpful. I took the exam again straight after finishing the course and PASSED! I was a lot more confident in the exam because I now understood all of the concepts being presented in the questions."
Sam Phillips, Tecflair. (1/3/2021 (Monday) to 4/3/2021 (Thursday))
"The online training experience worked well, and I felt that I received the same level of training that I would have if I was in the classroom.. although its always useful to be there in person and have the social element, the convenience compensated for that. The main thing for me was the quality of the delivery was still top notch. Thanks very much!"
