Denmark – Security Software Breaches Bite The Dust with Latest Course from Firebrand Training
First Accelerated Learning Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional CSSLP Course has been Launched in Europe
London, UK July 13, 2009 — Firebrand Training has launched the first accelerated ISC(2) CSSLP course in Europe.
The CSSLP qualification is aimed at programmers and developers responsible for designing and building applications in various programming languages or architectures. Equally this qualification is suited to anyone involved in the Software Lifecycle. This covers key vendors such as Microsoft, Linux, Sun, Oracle and IBM.
The CSSLP course enables students to build applications with greater stability and provides developers with best practice methodology for ensuring applications are created from a security point of view.
The seven-day Accelerated Learning course exposes students to the security drawbacks and pitfalls that can be experienced when developing or installing new software. It also equips students with the knowledge to prevent hackers exploiting vulnerabilities by adopting secure coding practices.
Firebrand Training’s unique Accelerated Learning version of the course material is delivered through a combination of practices including visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic-tactual teaching methods during training, ensuring that students absorb and retain the maximum amount of information over a short period of time.
“Hacking techniques are getting smarter by the second. An organisation cannot afford to take two years to secure its software,” said Rob Chapman, CEO at Firebrand Training. “When it comes to security breaches, the attitude should be that prevention is better than the cure. Security has to start within the organisation, enabling developers to effectively protect in-house applications from their inception, is the first barrier to keeping the hackers out,” he added.

NOTES TO EDITORS
About Firebrand Training (http://www.firebrandtraining.dk/kurser/isc2/csslp)
Firebrand Training is challenging the way in which professional training is delivered.
Firebrand Training, formally known as The Training Camp, has pioneered Accelerated Learning courses for busy IT professionals. The organisation’s innovative approach to course delivery has led to its status as the Institute of IT Training’s “IT Training Company of the Year” for the past two years.
Students are totally immersed in the subject matter, receiving an average of 12 hours intense tuition per day at a residential training site. Subject experts implement a range of teaching methodologies designed to fit with how we best understand and retain information during different periods in the day. Accelerated Learning is an attractive proposition for contractors, whose time commands very high premiums, and employers who need to minimise staff absence. Firebrand Training has an above average pass rate of 85% – confounding critics’ claims that Accelerated Learning fails to produce results.
Firebrand Training was founded by Robert Chapman and Stefano Capaldo in Summer 2001 as The Training Camp. Stefano was a former student in the US and rated the company’s approach so highly that he decided to launch a programme of courses in the UK. The organisation has since been recognised by Microsoft as a Gold Partner for Learning Solutions (MCPLS) and over 12,000 students have been trained in the UK to date. The success of the company enabled the management team to relaunch as Firebrand Training, which is focused on delivering training courses specifically designed for a European market.
Firebrand Training offers a range of courses covering all major vendors such as Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Sun, and Novell, as well as specialist certifications in the areas of security, business intelligence, project and business process management.
