There are several benefits of easy-to-use digital courseware: downloads are immediate, and you’ll always have your courseware available wherever you are.

Should a student complete a Firebrand Training Program without having successfully passed all vendor examinations, the student may re-attend that program for a period of one year. Students will only be responsible for accommodations and vendor exam fees.
There are no mandatory prerequisites for this certification. However, a basic understanding of networking fundamentals will be helpful. If you have completed the CCNA Security you will be ideally placed to take this course.
Don’t worry - we’ll discuss your technical background, experience and qualifications to determine whether this accelerated course suits you.
Just call us on 080 80 800 888 and speak to one of our enrolment consultants.

"My first time at Firebrand and very pleased. Need to go on a holiday now to rest by brain but it was exactly what it said on the tin with a residential intensive learning course.Keen to return soon on the CCNA Security or CCDA courses. Great facilities and learning environment encouraging the intensive learning. So impressed with the instructor, she is clearly very experienced and knows the subject giving a high level of trust and respect. I accept there wasn't much time for it, but some stories of experience in relation to the subject area along with the course would have been great.
Hopefully see you again soon. "
