I have enjoyed the experience as this has provided a much better learning experience than doing them online as in person it gave the ability to engage more and to visually learn the material much easier

The training centre is placed in a nice natural environment which can help separate the day through the difference between it and the working environment.

I had a lot of fun while learning a lot of things. Alongside that everyone is really nice and welcoming. So it is easy to approach people with any questions I have and they are always willing to go that extra mile to help if needed.

Very good Resources within the E-Book, Mixed with the Lessons, it is also has good Labs to get hands on Practice and put the theory somewhere practical to get full learning experience, with very high standard explanation throughout the lectures. 10/10!

The course was taught by an experienced staff member with significant experience in training and law enforcement. It taught me things even though I have done other cybersecurity courses. Regular breaks helped and the training was interactive rather than just slideshows. Would recommend for anyone starting their career in cybercrime!

I have really enjoyed the course. Especially the way it strips it back to the fundamentals as it makes it easier to apply it to other things I probably wouldn't have understood! Instructor was excellent at putting the material in a relatable format.

The tutors are exceptional, offering practical knowledge that's directly applicable. Their depth of experience in the field is evident, which is incredibly reassuring. While some concepts may initially feel overwhelming, the tutors have a knack for simplifying complex material, ensuring a solid understanding without the intimidation factor. Special thanks to the instructor.

The training was excellent. The instructor did a great job at keeping us all interested throughout the 5 days. The balance of presentation/practice questions/group activities was spot on. The practice questions Jack had generated were harder than those in the exam but I think this was really good as the more challenging questions encouraged us on to study hard and prompted us to refer to the course materials which helped reinforce what we were learning. I really appreciated that on the last day the instructor ran through some easier questions just before the exam, this gave everyone some confidence and put us in a positive frame of mind ready for the exam. The instructor is a credit to Firebrand and I could not have asked for a better trainer. In addition to providing an exceptional level of training, his warm personality and great sense of humour helped make the week a really positive and enjoyable experience. His strong interpersonal skills really helped in keeping everyone calm and engaged in an intense environment. Overall brilliant experience!

The in-person training is always effective. I have never done certification before I have around 20+ yrs of exp and I did my first one with Firebrand. The only reason I passed the exam due to focused time and no distraction.

Our Firebrand trainer made our week residential at Cranfield delightful. The course was delivered very professionally and I learnt so much in such a short space of time. PMP Quiz night was a good laugh too. The venue was 1st Class with amazing food throughout the week I really mean it. Thank you to our trainer & Firebrand.

Firebrand were easy to work with, provided good communication and instructions in the lead up to a 1 week course. The course was well run and the trainer was excellent and very knowledgeable. A Firebrand rep was available during the week and made sure we had everything we needed and were will to help if there were any problems.
