Moses Ajogbeje, RCHL.
CompTIA A+ 2009 (4 days) (18/4/2011 to 21/4/2011)

"I began my course with a certain amount of apprehension, but have to say I found the experience to be excellent. For me as a father of 2 young childen it was great to get away from the home environment with all its distractions, and come to Firebrand and dedicate my time to learning what was required for my course/exam. I am sure I will be attending again on the near future."
Craig Parker.
CompTIA A+ 2009 (4 days) (26/4/2010 to 29/4/2010)

"Firebrand Training provides a fun, professional & relex enviroment that help promote learning."

"Very pleased with the full immersion approach, it really helped with the discipline to study fully. I particularly appreciated the enthusiasm and knowledge of the tutor who was excellent in every way. "
Duncan Dale.
CompTIA A+ 2009 (4 days) (18/4/2011 to 21/4/2011)

"The facilities and the location were excellent. All staff were friendly and very helpful - I would recommend Firebrand training to all interested in a career in IT. During my stay we had some young students in the CompTIA A+ class - who were clearly not interested in IT and their actions were disruptive to the studying process and other students (including my colleague) who did want to study found it very difficult. But it is a testament to the instructor that the course continued and stayed on track. I would suggest that only students who are interested in pursuing a career in IT should attend "
Lee Adler, TNT.
CompTIA A+ 2009 (4 days) (30/11/2009 to 3/12/2009)
