Good apprenticeship provider, super helpful.
Great training! Dr.Fayed took us in 3 days through the theory of the TOGAF 10 enterprise architecture framework, which is a major performance in itself, but also trained us to work with the framework... See more

Review of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course at Firebrand Training, Netherlands
I attended the 5-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course at Firebrand Training in the Netherlands twice, taking advantage of the school's offer to retake the course in case of exam failure. Regrettably, neither session met my expectations.
The course material was presented ineffectively and lacked coherence. Both instructors, including Peter Cox who led the course on my second attendance, seemed unprepared. Peter appeared to have experience with Lean Six Sigma methodologies, but his teaching skills were subpar. Interaction with students was minimal, and he failed to address or adequately answer about 80% of the questions posed.
Time management during the course was also poor; the first three days were spent on overly detailed explanations with unnecessary examples, while the last two days rushed through slides in an inappropriate hurry, leaving no time for questions on the most substantial topics.
It is particularly disappointing that despite clear negative feedback from students about the November session last year, no improvements were made before the May session this year. Alarmingly, none of the twelve participants passed the exam after last year's training, despite the school advertising a 75% pass rate after the first 5-day course.
I am profoundly disappointed with my experience at Firebrand Training. I hope my feedback will be considered for future improvements to the course, ensuring better outcomes for future participants.

We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Firebrand Training. I have passed on the feedback, which we will consider to improve our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training!
A mixed bag
The instructors for the residential courses are superb. Their knowledge of their subjects is genuinely extraordinary and their use of humour makes the modules easier to digest and makes the long days on the courses easier to cope with. They make sure they understand our individual job roles and try to pitch the course content, where possible, so it is relevant to our jobs.
The reason I couldn't award more than 3 stars, though, is that in the months between the courses there are simply dozens of hours of videos from a 3rd-party website to watch in an entirely passive process, which is in no way helpful to embedding information in your memory, especially on new concepts which are often abstract and packed with new vocabulary and a sea of acronyms. My workplace has been great in giving me lots of projects to do to increase my skills and awareness of the company's operations as a whole, and my managers make me feel empowered to tackle tasks which affect the whole company.
In summary, the residential training is truly great and the instructors are brilliant; the pre-course learning resources in between are not though, and are truly a joyless and unrewarding slog, but if you get a good company to work for in your apprenticeship, you should be fine.

The Firebrand immersive experience.
The Firebrand immersive experience was enjoyable and effective. The FB trainer Dr Andrews was extremely good and has not just helped me pass the exam but also provided me with the knowledge and confidence to progress to other disciplines and exams. Booked the CISSP exam!! The only complaint is the actual Person test centre which seems it has not been updated since being built. It looks like the exact same from when i took my first exam in 2001. They need to update the test centre and ensure candidates who are sitting long complex, expensive exams are kept separate from those who are taking technical exams which required the tapping of keyboards as opposed to mouse clicks such as the ISC2 exams. Th hotel facilities and availability of meals were not an issue, there was plenty. Thanks for the experience.

Disgusting and failed to deliver exam
Booked a residential course for a member of my team to become a Data Protection Officer. The course was delivered but the computers crashed on the Friday so after £3700 my staff member was sent home having been unable to take the exam, 4 further attempts were made to take the exam and eventually firebrand advised that they simply "couldnt deliver the exam". Ive been in dispute with VISA for 4 months over a refund of some kind. The course was in November and today is the 23rd April the following year. Today I am going to the small claims court ofr financial recompense.

Reply from Firebrand Training
Good morning Gary,
I'm very sorry to learn about the difficulties you and your team member encountered during the residential Data Protection Course. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated by the computer crash, which unfortunately led to the inability to take the exam onsite, especially considering the investment of time and resources in the training. Dealing with disputes and delays in refunds can indeed be incredibly stressful, and I regret that you've had to endure this prolonged process.
I understand that the main challenges stemmed from attempting to take the exam remotely proctored with PECB and we have been in contact with them to investigate how and why the exam couldn't be taken. It is however, Firebrands name above the door so it's our responsibility to ensure the testing happens and I apologise that we couldn't achieve the resolution you were seeking. Rest assured, we remain committed to assisting your colleague in achieving certification. Please don't hesitate to reach out should circumstances change, as there's still a possibility to address this issue.
I'm aware that we've been in contact, but if there's anything further I can do to support you during this process or if you have any additional concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're taking steps to mitigate the likelihood of similar issues in the future.
Kind regards

Firebrand is by far the best training…
Firebrand is by far the best training provider I’ve ever used. I’ve already done 4 security courses with Firebrand and I’ve passed them all at a first attempt. Firebrand tutors are knowledgeable, approachable and provide a lot of practical examples when discussing each topics. The courses are very well organised and if you take a residential course, the accommodation and meals are also very good. Failure is not an option with Firebrand.

The training covers most of the modules for Prince2 but it will be good to give more time for the training instead of using 2 days to cover 10 chapters of the manual.

Good morning,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insights regarding the pace of our Prince2 training course. It's important to note that our training isn't for the light-hearted, as we cover a comprehensive array of modules within a condensed timeframe, this is a big part of our USP.
While our aim is to cover the content within the allocated time but we understand that the intensity may not suit everyone's learning style, it's certainly a unique way to learn. Your suggestion to allow more time for training is duly noted, and we will certainly consider it as we continually refine our course structure.
Our priority is to ensure that participants receive thorough and effective training, preparing them for success in Prince2. We value your input and will explore ways to optimise the training schedule to provide a more enriching and manageable learning experience.
Thank you for choosing our Prince2 training, and we look forward to hopefully exceeding your expectations in the future.
Kind regards
