"When learning with Firebrand, everything is taken care of for you. This allows you to pour everything into absorbing and understanding your course content amongst peers."
ML, Griggster Limited. (3/10/2023 (Tuesday) to 6/10/2023 (Friday))

"Having never experienced this type of training before I wasn't sure what to expect. You immerse yourself in the topic for a number of days with an experienced and extremely knowledgeable trainer, along with fellow IT Pros who help out when required. Sure the days are long but you are covering a lot of topics in a short time and you can't fail to learn more than you ever thought you would. If you are serious about learning then there is probably no better way to learn."
DR. (3/10/2023 (Tuesday) to 6/10/2023 (Friday))

"The training for PL-100 is an intense course, jam-packed with references, resources delivered by a super knowledgeable instructor. Would recommend having a sound base knowledge of Microsoft Power Platform before attending. MS Learn provides topics for PL-100 and also a study guide for the exam which is very useful when preparing for exam."
