Firebrand Training Reviews 

Fayed was my tutor for togaf. He is so skilled and highly knowledgeable with real industry experience. Very patient and so so kind. I enjoyed every bit of the training

I recently completed the residential TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture course with Firebrand, and it exceeded every expectation I had. If you’re looking for a training experience that allows you to focus 100% on learning and walk away fully certified, this is exactly the place to be.

The residential setup at Wyboston Lakes is outstanding. The facility is purpose‑built for deep learning: quiet, comfortable, and completely distraction‑free. You have everything you need on site — great accommodation, all meals and snacks, 24/7 classroom access, and even a fully equipped gym to unwind and reset between sessions. The staff are friendly, supportive, and genuinely committed to making your stay smooth and comfortable. It’s the perfect environment to stay focused and absorb a huge amount of content in a short time.

But the real highlight of the course was our instructor, Professor Fayed. He is truly exceptional — the kind of teacher you rarely come across. His mastery of the subject is unquestionable, but what sets him apart is his dedication to his students. He spent personal time with us outside of scheduled hours, patiently helping with concepts, answering questions, and making sure everyone felt confident. On exam day, he even waited outside the testing room for each of us to finish, just to check how we did and offer support. His commitment to our success was genuine and constant.

It’s rare to find a professor who cares this deeply about every individual in the class. Thanks to his guidance, clarity, and encouragement, every single one of us passed and left fully certified. I cannot express enough gratitude for his effort, passion, and availability throughout the course.

Firebrand’s total‑immersion approach really works. The structure, the pace, the official materials, the mock exams, and the on‑site Pearson VUE testing centre all combine to make the certification process smooth and achievable. It’s intense, but incredibly effective.

If you’re serious about getting TOGAF certified quickly and properly, I can’t recommend Firebrand’s residential course — and especially Professor Fayed — highly enough.

I did the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition and my instructor was Dr. Fayed. He enthousiastically presented the theory with pratice exemplaar and video material. Prep to overview the material by quizes. Which gave me z'n excellent result at the exam.

Big thanks to Dr.Fayed for amazing course TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition. Well explained, full of practical exercises and challenges which kept the audience involved.
The course together with practice tests was fully sufficient for passing the certification exam.
Many thanks!

When I was a teenager wanting to learn more about IT and Cyber Security, I wish Firebrand was around due to the superb course instructors, mentorship and world-class quality learning. Every Firebrand instructor has a lengthy experience with real-world IT systems, finance, police, military, specialist roles, self employed etc. My time was with Perran James, Perran understood and helped support me with my apprenticeship from start to finish, I encountered many struggles during the 2 years and every step of the way, Perran was there to support and educate myself to be and do better. Sometimes all we need is the right person at the right time to encourage and support to reach our full potential.

Thank you Perran James and Firebrand for all of the support both personal and educational, I can now pursue my dreams of moving to America and be a self employed IT professional.

Perran James is an outstanding mentor!

I’ve just completed my Level 4 Network Engineer Apprenticeship after two years - and passed!

His willingness to understand, guide, and push you in the right direction is something truly invaluable and shouldn’t go unnoticed. Thank you!

I recently completed the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course, and I have to say—it was a fantastic experience, thanks to Dr. Fayed.
Even though it was a packed 3-day course with long learning hours, Dr. Fayed made it genuinely enjoyable. His passion for teaching really came through, and he had a great way of keeping things engaging and easy to follow. He broke down complex topics with clarity and brought in real-world examples that made everything click.
What stood out most was how approachable and supportive he was throughout. You could tell he genuinely cared about helping us succeed.
If you're thinking about taking this course, I’d definitely recommend doing it with Dr. Fayed. He made a tough subject feel manageable—and even fun!

Great residential courses included in the apprenticeship, and my mentor Perran provided amazing support throughout. His helpful and timely feedback on my projects allowed me to finish my apprenticeship early and get through the EPA phase with a distinction!

My experience with Firebrand was excellent, they were supportive throughout my training, Perran my learning Mentor was a major help and wealth of knowledge.

I had a great experience taking the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course at Wyboston Lakes, thanks to the instructor, Dr Fayed. His teaching style is clear, engaging, and well-organised, which was invaluable given the large content that was covered in a short time. He went above and beyond to ensure every student understood by sharing additional resources when needed, demonstrating how he genuinely cares about students' learning and success.

I highly recommend taking any courses with Dr Fayed!

Firebrand is an amazing experience that helped me kick start a career in technical services.
My course and learning was delivered at a slow and careful pace allowing me to balance a new job, studying and having a social life.
My handler, Perran James, was exceptional and understanding the entire way through giving me me plenty of leeway when required.

Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a fresh start as Firebrand did it right.

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 ourselves so we could do the practitioner exam. Long days, but the mix of lectures, videos, interactive tests and exercise made it easy. Excellent training

I recently completed TOGAF training and had a truly outstanding experience. The trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the subject. The sessions were well-structured, with a great balance of theory and practical insights that made complex concepts easy to grasp.
Thanks to the quality of the training, I felt well-prepared and successfully passed my certification. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of enterprise architecture and earn their TOGAF certification with confidence.

Working with Firebrand, from the start I found the training and learning mentor support be really good, supportive and transferrable into the work for apprentices we hired.

I took the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture — Foundation and Practitioner combined course. Both the learning experience and the excellent teaching by Dr. Fayed, along with the location and accommodation, made this into a wonderful experience.

The resources and approach provided by Firebrand as a whole have been excellent, offering a strong foundation for our apprentices.

However, what has truly set our experience apart is the unwavering support, dedication, and partnership shown by Perran James, our assigned mentoring coach. As a business, we have found Perran to be exceptional—always patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in our apprentices success. His guidance and encouragement have made a real difference, helping them navigate challenges and get the very best out of the programme. Perran’s commitment to their growth has gone above and beyond our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact he has had.

Thank you, Perran, for your outstanding support and for making our journey with Firebrand such a rewarding one!

was great training very informative. Perran James was a good teacher and was great help throught my apprentiship

Absolutely incredible experience, cannot recommend highly enough. My apprenticeship leader Perran James was so supportive to my learning or personal needs. He was there every step of the way no matter the issue with a really friendly personality. I would not have reached my grade of distinction without him and i don't think i could have gotten through the apprenticeship too not only was he my mentor he became a friend. Firebrand as whole is a very accommodating company from the first day to the last with each site visit being a fun but intense learning journey where you leave felling more confident in what you are studying. If i could rate it 6 out of 5 stars i would.

Very attentive when on residential in Wyboston Lakes. Perran was such a great mentor who dedicated a lot of personal time to developing me. With the training and guidance, I ended up gaining a Distinction due to Perran's support.

Thank you.

Good apprenticeship provider, super helpful.
