Omar Anwar. (4/9/2023 (Monday) to 7/9/2023 (Thursday))

"The trainer provided excellent delivery and commitment to enabling me to understand the AWS platform, services and how they interact with each other. the topics where discussed in great depth with live demos and real world analogies and examples to help embed the knowledge rather than just reading from a slide deck. the course is extremely intense but the way the content delivery was structured with a mix of slides, live demos, labs and open classroom discussions helped enable me to gain a great insight into the AWS platform."
Matthew Bingham, Softcat PLC. (24/7/2023 (Monday) to 27/7/2023 (Thursday))

"A brilliant trainer who, not only knows his course subject in detail but also the wider topics which come up in discussion as well as having real life examples of scenarios which he has worked on."
Stuart Odam, Mobilise. (1/8/2022 (Monday) to 4/8/2022 (Thursday))

" I enjoyed the learning experience. My instructor was very good in explaining the content in a simple and effective way. I felt prepared for the exam despite not having much experience with AWS."
MA, Netcompany. (1/8/2022 (Monday) to 4/8/2022 (Thursday))

"I had failed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam multiple times before coming to Firebrand Training. The OIL course was great and the Instructor was very clear and helpful. I took the exam again straight after finishing the course and PASSED! I was a lot more confident in the exam because I now understood all of the concepts being presented in the questions."
