"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))

"Perfect instructor with much knowledge and the ability to bring it to the people. Thank you. The topic is huge but I would have expected a little bit more working together in the system."
Reinhard Decker, VAT Vakuumventile AG. (10/10/2023 (Tuesday) to 13/10/2023 (Friday))

"A great place to learn, with everything provided and catered for."
Anonymous. (18/9/2023 (Monday) to 20/9/2023 (Wednesday))

"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))

"Very happy with the knowledge of the instructors"
Wim Boydens, Technical lead. (18/9/2023 (Monday) to 24/9/2023 (Sunday))
