stephen francis. - Six Sigma Green Belt (5 days) (3/12/2012 to 7/12/2012)

We were lucky to have a small group which allowed us to go deeper into things and to exchange points of view. The hotel in Helvoirt, despite the fact that the rooms are really small, is really well located. In the middle of the woods, it helps you concentrate on your study without having too many distractions and without the city noise. Food is really good too! ;o)"
Eric Peeters. - (ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 days) (21/5/2012 to 27/5/2012)

"Enlightening course. I suddenly realised I knew much less about security than I originally thought. It requires a great deal of stamina to do the bootcamp. Key element is to keep focused all the time. The exam is not to be underestimated due to a long a fatiguing week and the many questions."
E.H. - (ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 days) (26/3/2012 to 1/4/2012)

Who Should Earn a CIW Certification?

CIW job-role certification is important for all types of IT professionals, from career changers and business professionals to experienced and certified IT professionals.

Career changers

CIW certification is an excellent way to enter the IT industry because vendor-neutral skill certifications address the roles and responsibilities of a specific position. CIW focuses on industry standards, and leading hardware and software technologies. Career changers are not limited by knowledge of only one IT platform.

Business professionals

A CIW certification demonstrates knowledge of industry standards, best practices, and leading hardware and software technology. Taking the time to learn new IT concepts shows a commitment to keep pace with today's technology-driven economy, to better understand a customer's business, and to become more self-sufficient by better understanding the technology on which almost every professional relies.

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

Intensive group instruction
One-on-one instruction attention
Hands-on labs
Lab partner and group exercises
Question and answer drills
Independent study

Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
