Gus Osborne, Belcom.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (13/10/2008 to 25/10/2008)

"Firebrand has exceeded my utmost expectations in training. The Cisco Certified Network Professional course instructor was of an incredibly high standard of both professionalism and technical expertise. "
M.M.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (11/1/2010 to 23/1/2010)

"The training was excellent and the instructor made what can at times be very dry material interesting. I have trained in some of the topics previously and struggled. However on this occasion I found the explanations concise, clear and comprehensive. Topics were brought together so that each discussion reinforced earlier comments and this really helped clarify what was taught."
Brian Briggs.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (11/12/2011 to 18/12/2011)

"The location and surroundings are ideal for studying. Our instructor made every effort to get us through the exams, as well as giving us the knowledge to tackle day to day problems. His real life experiences as a CCIE helped us understand topics and scenarios. This course is not for the faint hearted though, 2 weeks of hard graft is required. "
James Joliffe, IBM.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (25/4/2005 to 8/5/2005)

"Excellent course and training facilities. The trainer was second to none and very helpful. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to my next course here."
Ken Clark.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (31/10/2010 to 7/11/2010)

"With the accreditation as my goal, I studied as hard as possible inbetween lectures. They prepare you very well for the exams. I would recommend Firebrand to anyone wanting to get accreditation in a short timescale"
Ashley Isaacs.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (12/12/2010 to 19/12/2010)

"Our instructor was fantastic – a caffeine powered Cisco Jedi of information with the ability to break down complex topics into real world applications to help appreciate there concepts. It was very tough at times; many dedicated long days and coffee will be consumed to grasp all the information flung at oneself. The instructor was able to effectively deliver all topics into manageable chunks and coupled with his various learning techniques the outcome was expected! Firebrand is the #1 way to accelerate your way through industry accreditations."
Dan Tinsley.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (3/8/2009 to 15/8/2009)

"The CCNP was very intensive; but well worth the effort! Firebrand obviously put a lot of effort into their material and it shows. Many thanks!"
Ashley Young, Taunton School.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (27/3/2011 to 3/4/2011)

"Good instructor and high standard facility = a good learning experience."
Robert Brown, Tubedale.
Cisco CCNP (8 days) (27/2/2006 to 12/3/2006)

"The CCNP Certification course was as described, delivering a vast amount of information and preparing you to sit and pass the three exams. The tutor was excellent and the learning style perfect for teaching, reinforcing and then revising key topics. To take the (self asserted) pressure off I recommend doing some pre-reading on the key technologies and being comfortable with the CCNA curriculum. The tutor, facilities, accommodation and support staff all get my highest recommendation and all combined for an excellent course. Thanks for getting me through this cert."

Why is Cisco at Firebrand different?

Firebrand’s accelerated CCNA course offers you access to more equipment than most of our competitors

There are many Cisco training providers and the equipment used can vary greatly. Several use remote labs where you never see the actual equipment but do exercises based on a connection to a rack of equipment “somewhere”…

At Firebrand we see things differently. We believe that in your first exposure to Cisco you should see, feel, and touch the kit. You need to know about interfaces and ports, but not by seeing a PowerPoint slide or a diagram, rather by actually connecting cables to the router or switch.

You’ll work in pairs and share a “pod” of equipment located in a rack. You have your own 2811 router and 2960 switch, access to additional equipment such as a Frame-Relay switch, along with additional routers and switches should you wish to tinker.

The equipment we supply, alongside 24 hour lab access, gives you the tools to prepare you both for the CCNA exams, more importantly, the real world.
