Only thing that might have been useful was to explain VPNs and residential proxies, as it made it sound a bit like if we had an IP address then we would get a suspect - which tends not to be the case in my experience. Really useful to see FTK imager in use, and screen recorder. I don't need to know how to do the stuff, but to have a clearer idea of what my staff can or should be doing is vital - perfect.

"The Prince2 training with Fierbrand Training is one of the best on the market. During my foundation and practitioner course I had collegues from the EU as well. The training is intense, but Firebrand Trainging has exceptional trainers. Practically is no hidden corner of the book, or a complex Prince2 problem, which our instructor can't explain on a layman language. Thank you very much Firebrand! "

"Having never experienced this type of training before I wasn't sure what to expect. You immerse yourself in the topic for a number of days with an experienced and extremely knowledgeable trainer, along with fellow IT Pros who help out when required. Sure the days are long but you are covering a lot of topics in a short time and you can't fail to learn more than you ever thought you would. If you are serious about learning then there is probably no better way to learn."
