Firebrand Training is challenging the way in which professional training is delivered.
London, UK, August 29, 2009 — With demand for in many segments of the training market struggling in the last year, it’s refreshing to see such a push for project management qualifications such as Prince2, rapidly establishing itself as the yardstick for anyone involved in delivering any kind of project.
The country’s first accelerated learning Prince2 2009 course, offered by Firebrand Training, will be available from the week of the 5th October and is filling rapidly. An extra five sessions have been added to the 2009 schedule to cope with growing demand.
What makes Firebrand different?
Well, exam pass rates are second to none. We achieve these by using first-class instructors, and by adding much more revision time than possible on a 9-5 course. Also, because you’ll get at least 12 hours per day with your instructor, we can look at all aspects of Prince2 in more detail. We use tailored scenarios, taking you through a project and applying the principles as you go
The new Prince2 2009 course has attracted candidates looking to further their careers in project management, prompted by the prospect of greater responsibility, job security and higher wages.
More and more IT teams recognise the value project management skills can add. You don’t need to be a project manager to deliver IT services in time, and on budget.
NOTES TO EDITORS:
Prince2 2009 is widely used as a project management method in IT-projects in both public and private sectors, but it has become popular in non-IT projects as well. It is now the UK’s de facto standard for project management. One of the most effective ways to grasp the method is through Accelerated Learning.
The training course equips delegates with a detailed knowledge and structure of the method, working through each stage of pre-project preparation and the project lifecycle.
PRINCE2 was originally developed by the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA) now part of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in 1989 as a UK Government standard for IT project management.
The Firebrand Training Accelerated Learning course:
• Helps students grasp complex project management concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
• Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
• Is not like other bootcamps where just the exams are taught. In fact our PRINCE2 training courses is delivers more case based scenarios than traditional training or boot camps
About Firebrand Training (http://www.firebrandtraining.co.uk/courses/apmg/pr…)
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 three years – something no other IT Training company has achieved.
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 17,000 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 APMG (Prince2), Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Sun, and Novell, as well as specialist certifications in the areas of security, business intelligence, project and business process management.
