"Hello everybody. I did CompTIA A+ and Network+ in 7 days and really loved it. I could not do this by myself at home, that's why i did choose this option. I have to be honest, it was a lot to learn but you won't get distracted and that worked perfect for me. I finished my CompTIA A+ (2 modules) and passed the exams. I also failed my N+ because i had not enough knowledge about networking and couldn't remember all the material i had to learn. But i tried it because i believed i could do it. Too bad i missed it by small amount of points. So now i am learning in the Netherlands so that i can retake the exam. I can only say DO IT and sign up. I will get the last exam and then i will sign myself on for another course! I like this way of teaching! Thanks to the instructor for teaching us everything. Boy what a knowledge this man has. :)"

A.P, Network support engineer. - CompTIA A+ & Network+ (7 days) (26/10/2015 to 1/11/2015)

"I have done 3 courses with firebrand so far and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to certify in IT. The environment was clean and tidy, and everything was provided for. The Instructors knew there topics inside out and could explain anything without any hesitation or having to look elsewhere for the answer, or a "i'll come back to you on that". The information was given in a way that was easy to understand at any level of competency or prior knowledge and they didn't mind going over the same topic multiple times if needed even at 10pm! Courseware was provided and was of a good standard in advance of the course so you could prepare if you feel you needed too. Materials and equipment provided on the course were also very good. The accommodation was more than adequate and i can honestly say i did not go hungry as three course meals were provided three times a day. All in all, the only thing you need to do is turn up. Thank you Firebrand. "
Anonymous - CompTIA A+ & Network+ (7 days) (26/10/2015 to 1/11/2015)

"I wasn't expecting much of myself when i signed up to the accelerated learning course. I thought cramming all the information needed into such a small amount of time would be too much for me to handle, and that I'd start worrying and never actually pass the exams. Fortunately, Firebrand are as good as they say they are. My instructor helped me to get an understanding of the areas of IT that I didn't really have a grasp on. I found the classes to be incredibly well planned, and that there wasn't actually too much information being crammed into me. The instructor is a great guy, and I'm incredibly thankful to both him and Firebrand for getting me through these exams. I quite simply couldn't have done it without them."
Toby Griffin, Addooco IT Ltd.. - CompTIA A+ & Network+ (7 days) (26/10/2015 to 1/11/2015)

"The Firebrand experience is like entering a totally different world. For me it was even more important/enjoyable talking with the other Delegates about different aspects of work that the average person cannot understand."

Firebrand goes digital

We’re currently migrating from printed to digital courseware. Some courseware is already available in digital, while other books remain in printed form. To find out if this course is digital, call us on +44 207 907 1120.

There are several benefits of easy-to-use digital courseware: downloads are immediate, and you’ll always have your courseware available wherever you are. You won’t need to wait for a printed book to be delivered before you start learning – and it’s better for the environment. You can choose to download the courseware to your own device, or borrow one of ours.

Considering a Microsoft course? Always have the most up-to-date Microsoft digital courseware with ‘Fresh Editions’. This gives you access to all versions of digital courseware – you’ll receive updates and revisions of your textbook, at no charge, for the life of that course.
