I have learned a great deal which I will be able to put to immediate use both at home and at work.

I know I can come back to take the exams with the training vouchers provided at any time.
Firebrand* has lived up to expectations and have done a great job. Well done."

Craig Cannon,
LPI Linux Level 1 Certification (7 Days) (18/11/2002 to 24/11/2002)
"Firebrand* experience is intensive, but very fulfilling. Each day is crammed with information and labwork to help you better understand the subject matter.
A day typically starts with a classroom session, laying the foundations. This is then followed with lab sessions putting everything into practice.
At the end of the day there is a review session, allowing the time to find any areas which are not fully understood or to ask questions. Typically then, each evening is completed with a reading session to gain an understanding of the following days material.
The intensive nature ensures complete focus throughout the program.
All in all an enjoyable and fulfilling, if exhausting time."
Anthony Porter, Captec Ltd..
LPI Linux Level 1 Certification (7 Days) (15/11/2004 to 21/11/2004)
"You have to be prepared to put effort in yourself. Firebrand* will give you everything you need to succeed but you have to help yourself as well by doing the precourse reading and then making sure you complete the assignments, coursework and reading. If you do all that then it's difficult to see how you could fail.
