This is what our students say about the Vista course...3,000 of them can't be wrong!
"The facilities and staff at Heythrop Park were nothing short of exceptional. The 14 days course was very hard work, but also very rewarding. I dont think that I will train in any other way in the future." Ben Hughes, Aston Science Park, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 19/11/2007 to 2/12/2007
"I started off on the wrong foot. I arrived a day late due to no failure of Firebrand. I got stuck in and bonded with the enviroment so as to maximize the oportunities this centre offers. All staff were very generous and extreemly helpfull. My instructor was extreemly knowledgeable in the Microsoft arena will real world knowledge and cold hard facts to back it up. His history is very impressive. I found that he was easy to relate to, talk to and approach. His ability to deliver the course work in a relaxed, contious stream was extreemly impressive to watch. A generally nice guy and someone to look upto and aspire to, even if he is younger than me (git !). Many thanks, much appreciated." Darren Monksfield, MTV Networks Europe (Music Channel), Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 19/11/2007 to 2/12/2007
"I enjoyed the experience. I was very apprehensive and not sure if I was over commiting myself, but was proved wrong. Dont be dissallusioned though, 14 days and 7 exams is a tough call. You need to prepare both physically and mentally to be strong to the end. You also need to fast for a week before arriving, you get well looked after, you will not lose weight at Firebrand!" Michael Brown, Myself, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 22/10/2007 to 4/11/2007
"The isolation of the course starts off intense but by the end you are happy to be alone to conentrate on study for the exams. " Chris McEwan, Morse, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 5/11/2007 to 18/11/2007
"MCSE2003 Vista 2 Week Course, whether you pass all your exams in one sitting or not this is a fantastic course. Be prepared to work beyond your norm, it is a seriously intensive course, you work long hours, pre-reading is essential (unless you are an expert), its also a great environment to learn and share experience with instructors and other students, you will never get a better learning environment with all this in one place. Thanks." Sean Collins, NRG International, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 5/11/2007 to 18/11/2007
"Amazing course! Didnt think anyone could be taught so much so quickly, and with such real world relevance. The Firebrand team are all top notch, from cleaning, to catering, to support. The course requires real hard graft, but its excellently delivered by great instructors." Richard Burley, Lerch Bates (Europe), Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 5/11/2007 to 18/11/2007
"My 2 week MCSE course was well extrememly well run. Our trainer was knowledgeable and made sure that we all had a good understanding of the topics covered. The centre facilities were clean and comfortable and the food was out of this world! I would thoroughly recommend Firebrand to other professionals seeking to expand their skills and gain certifications." Steve Middlemiss, Powergate, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 5/11/2007 to 18/11/2007
"I did the MCSE Vista - 14 long, hard days, but put in the time, and the effort to suceed and you WILL do it. I passed all my exams, against my expectations. I did not fully expect to walk away with a full MCSE qualification. But all credit due to the Instructor & all the course materials, books etc. It IS accelerated learning, you learn hard & fast, and have to put in the study at night, we were in class at midnight most nights preparing for exams. You have an exam every 2nd day. It's rewarding, but tough. Go with this expectation and you will succeed." Ted Thomas, IM Group Ltd, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 8/10/2007 to 21/10/2007
"There is no doubt I learned a huge amount whilst on the MCSE Vista course. However, be very sure if you sign up for this that you are prepared to work extremely hard and long hours (strap yourself in and pin your ears back because you'll be going on one hell of a ride!!!). Your efforts will be rewarded." Dr. Robert Hayes, Wytech Ltd, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 8/10/2007 to 21/10/2007
"Comfy rooms, friendly staff, nice food and excellent instruction." H.B., N/A, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"Before attending Firebrand Training, I would never have believed that I could learn and retain so much new information in such little time. Their methods really do work. " Gareth Bowen, VMETRO Ltd, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 17/9/2007 to 30/9/2007
"From booking the course only 5 days before attending everyone I had contact with at Firebrand was very polite, courteous, and efficient in carrying out their duties. To be able to just concentrate on learning for the whole 2 weeks was fantastic. The trainer was superb with great anecdotes of real life experience in the IT arena. Thanks Firebrand." Stuart Johnston, Burns Anderson, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 17/9/2007 to 30/9/2007
"Firebrand* is a great environment for accelerated learning. The skills and knowledge learnt in a couple of weeks at Firebrand* would have taken many months to learn on my own." Anthony Yau, The QSS Group Limited, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"Firebrand* was a lot more than i expected from accelerated learning, there was a hell of a lot of information we had to learn but somehow the trainers help cram it all in with extra real life experiences they have had, i am so pleased i chose Firebrand* and WILL use them all the time. " Mathew Sealy, Help 3000 Limited, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"Like others before me I was sceptical about Bootcamp-style training, but the facilites and overall experience at "Firebrand*" has dispensed with this myth, as being self employed I could ill afford the time away from work and earning, to this reason alone I have avoided furthering my career and knowledge through training. "It is without reservation that I recommend Firebrand* for anyone looking to further their knowledge or swell their list of certifications"." Dale Sprott, Vallo Ltd, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"I had tried for three years to finish the MCSE and the associated exams but was unable to do so because of associated work and other pressures. The environment provided at Firebrand* allowed me to focus clearly and without distraction and allowed me to achieve in two weeks what I had failed to do in three years." William Miller, self-employed, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"Although this course is extremely intense and mentally draining it was still well worth coming. Before I came here I knew nothing about the topics we covered and now I am leaving as a qualified MCSA. " Philip Sleep, Acer, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 27/8/2007 to 9/9/2007
"Very demanding, but the rewards are more than worth the effort." Mike Sharp, FTCG, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 6/8/2007 to 19/8/2007
"Ive trained with other providers before but Firebrand* put them to shame. The instructor was excellent and the center provide the just the right enviroment for me to study. Im still suprised be the volume of knowledge gained! The food was outstanding and my accomodation was cleaned every day. Ill always Train with Firebrand* in the future and its just a same I hadnt found them sooner! Its really hard work but well worth the effort." John, Wiltshire College, Microsoft MCSE Vista (14 Days) 16/7/2007 to 29/7/2007
