What is Firebrand OIL?

Firebrand OIL uses Microsoft Teams to deliver a rich, interactive Virtual Classroom experience and immerse students in learning, emulating the physical experience as closely as possible. The platform allows for multimedia lectures and a hands-on training experience.

What courses can I attend online?

All of our courses can be attended through OIL, including

• Cyber Security
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Machine Learning (ML)
• Data Science
• Coding & Programming
• Software Testing
• Project Management

How does Online Instructor-Led work?

Simply book your course as usual and our training experts will set you up on Microsoft Teams. Once that is done, you'll just need to dial in and join the Virtual Classroom. From your dashboard, you'll also be able to access:

• Live instructor view on camera, including whiteboard
• Course slides and demonstrations straight from the instructor's computer
• Classroom audio including onsite questions from fellow students
• Online tools to ask and answer questions, follow demonstrations and create annotations
• Group chat to discuss topics in real-time

What equipment or software do I need to attend an online course?

There are no special requirements. You just need:

• A desktop or laptop capable of running Microsoft Teams, see specs here
• A headset and microphone (we recommend using webcams, but it's not mandatory)
• A stable broadband connection

Will I still receive the courseware?

Most of our courseware is digital, so you'll receive all course materials in your inbox. If your course requires physical materials, these will be mailed to you before the course.

What are labs and why are they important?

All Firebrand accelerated IT training courses follow our trademark Lecture | Lab | Review methodology. Our labs aren't physical spaces; rather, they are virtual environments that run on a virtual machine and contain specific challenges and exercises related to course modules. Labs are vital as they give students the hands-on experience that will help cement the knowledge they've absorbed.

At Firebrand, we use Skillable or GoDeploy, depending on the course.

Will I have access to labs when taking an Online Instructor-Led course?

Of course! You still have access to the official course labs, the same as if you were in the classroom.

How do labs work when taking a course remotely via Firebrand OIL?

Simple:

1. Your instructor will provide you with a link and login credentials so you can join the lab platform;
2. Once you get these details, you can log in via your regular web browser while still participating in the class live on Teams;
3. Once there, you might see a countdown; don't worry, you can reset and pause the counter as many times as you wish;
4. In fact, you will retain access to the labs for 180 days afterwards, long after you've completed your course, and you can continue to practice and refer to it from anywhere.

Do OIL courses include certification exams?

With a few exceptions, online testing is included. For more information on your specific case, please get in touch.

How do I sign up for Online Instructor-Led courses?

To sign up for the OIL delivery option, please contact us so we can make the necessary arrangements.

What are people saying about Firebrand OIL?

Why every course you have ever done was a waste of time

From an early age we are all conditioned to believe that the teaching methods used at school ("traditional teaching") is the only way for us to learn.

However humans are capable of both absorbing and retaining much more information than we give ourselves credit for.

Accelerated Learning : Learn more, effectively, efficiently

Firebrand Training uses accelerated learning methods to deliver vast amounts of information in the shortest possible time. Accelerated learning is very different from traditional teaching.

With accelerated teaching students are involved in the learning process and the delivery method constantly varies ensuring that all of the fundamental learning styles we use are addressed, namely:

• Visual (lecture sessions with white boarding and discussion)
• Tactile (hands-on lab sessions)
• Auditory (review sessions)

Firebrand Training builds students skills by creating an innovative, high-quality learning environment with no distractions geared toward the success of its students.

This success means not only certification, but a solid education that enables the individual’s creative application of their skills.

We train you, you don't train yourself

We do not require students to self study masses of information, we do guarantee you will get trained and certified with us in the shortest possible time.

Firebrand Training is unlike any other “boot camp” - we emphasize instructor-led skill-building, not just beating the tests.

Ask yourself these questions

• "Can I wait 12 months to learn the skills I need in my job today?"
• "Have I got the 100's of hours of personal time available for self study prior to a course?"
• "Can I or my employer afford for me to take many weeks off of work to complete my education?"

If you answer no to any of these questions then we are your only option.

Call us now to discuss how we achieve what many feel is impossible.
