Firebrand Training Arvostelua 

I had taken the both the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course and the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Practitioner exam at the Firebrand training centre in Wyboston Lakes and I decided to take the residential option, which made the experience better overall and more relaxed. The experience from start to finish was amazing and I can honestly say that I highly recommend Firebrand training. Dr. Fayed was the course instructor, who was awesome at delivering the course content and this combined allowed me to pass my exam and achieve my goal. Thank you so much Dr. Fayed and Firebrand Training for an amazing experience!

I recently attended the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition residential course delivered by Dr. Fayed, and it was an outstanding learning experience.
In just three days, I gained a strong understanding of the TOGAF framework and successfully passed both the Foundation and Practitioner examinations on the third day. Dr. Fayed's teaching approach made complex concepts easy to understand and retain.
The course materials were excellent, and the use of visual diagrams, interactive exercises, and engaging gamification techniques significantly enhanced the learning experience. The practical use case discussions and collaborative brainstorming sessions provided valuable real-world perspectives, helping me develop not only the knowledge required for certification but also the skills needed to apply TOGAF effectively in practice.
I am confident that the knowledge and techniques gained from this course will add significant value to my work as an Enterprise Architect.
I would highly recommend Firebrand and Dr. Fayed to anyone looking to pursue TOGAF training or certification. Their combination of expert instruction, practical insights, and engaging delivery creates an exceptional learning experience.

Vorab das Positive: Trainer, Mitarbeiter und Organisation von Firebrand verdienen uneingeschränktes Lob. Verschiebungen oder krankheitsbedingte Umbuchungen wurden stets unkompliziert und professionell gelöst. Auch der Austausch mit Teilnehmern aus den unterschiedlichsten Branchen war eine echte Bereicherung.

Kritisch bewerten muss ich jedoch den entscheidenden Punkt: die Vorbereitung auf die eigentliche CISSP-Prüfung. Der 5-tägige Kurs vermittelt ein deutlich verzerrtes Bild vom tatsächlichen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Die Prüfung war extrem anspruchsvoll – bestanden habe ich sie ausschließlich, weil ich mich zuvor acht Monate eigenständig vorbereitet und rund 1.500 Fragen mit einem Prüfungssimulator trainiert hatte. Ohne diese Eigenleistung hätte ich keine realistische Chance gehabt. Teilnehmer aus meiner Gruppe kamen unabhängig voneinander zum selben Schluss.

Mein Fazit: Wer den CISSP allein auf Basis der fünf Trainingstage antritt, wird mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit scheitern. Für Networking und fachlichen Austausch ist der Kurs empfehlenswert – als alleinige Prüfungsvorbereitung kann ich ihn nicht empfehlen.

Ich empfehle Firebrand folgendes: Geht in den 5,5 Tagen (Sonntags zähle ich als 0,5 Tage) alle 8 Domänen mit einem Prüfungssimulator durch. Macht den ganzen Tag nichts anderes als das. Besprecht gemeinsam die Antworten auf die Fragen im Simulator. Das würde definitiv mehr helfen als die wenigen Folien die in meinem Fall gezeigt wurden.

Ich kann alle Beteiligten nur eines mit auf dem Weg geben: Nur durch Wissen werdet ihr diese Prüfung bestehen. Und das beste Wissen bekommt ihr durch einen Prüfungssimulator mit echten Prüfungsfragen.

The training was intense, high information density, long days, but supereffective. The trainer was clearly knowledgable, engaging, and also the discussions in the group helped to consolidate the information. I was only signed up for the foundation, but I quickly realized that I wanted to add the practitioner part, and passed both exams

Een zeer zeer zeer slechte ervaring gehad!!! De training van Certified Ethical Hacker gevolgd. De instructeur toonde wel de slides, maar gaf er 0 uitleg over en begon iedere slide te praten over zijn ervaring en die van zijn vrienden. Hij heeft HELEMAAL NIET voorbereid voor het examen. Ik had ook op voorhand gesproken met Firebrand en gevraagd of het een praktische training was, " ja hoor, en ja zal in tweed groepen worden verdeelt RED en Bleu team, de ene zou verdedigen en de andere zou hacken" vertelden ze me toen. NIKS daarvan is waar. Ik heb meer dan € 5000 betaald voor deze cursus! weggesmeten geld! Ik mag helemaal opnieuw beginnen.

NIET AAN TE RADEN!, volg geen training bij hun voor zoveel geld!

I recently completed the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course, covering both Foundation and Practitioner levels, and successfully passed the certification exams.

Our group (9 professionals) was guided by Dr. Fayed, and thanks to his professional, tactical, and highly effective coaching, we all achieved a 100% pass rate. His knowledge, experience, and clear understanding of what is needed to succeed made a real difference.

Dr. Fayed provided the right tips, direction, and confidence throughout the course. He truly knows what he is doing and was able to guide us in a focused and practical way toward success.

I am very grateful for the support and would highly recommend this course and Dr. Fayed as an instructor to anyone preparing for TOGAF certification.

On a personal note, I truly appreciate Dr. Fayed’s dedication, effort, and commitment throughout the training. Thank you for everything — you are simply the best!

Kind regards,

Ruben

Der Kurs besteht aus dem Ablesen von 500+ Foliensätzen ohne grosse Erläuterungen. Wenig effektive Prüfungsvorbereitung - hätte ich also auch gut selber machen können...

Great experience! 3 days of intense learning was made easier, fun and focused, great job by the trainer, Dr. Fayed Ahmed! And amazing facility by Firebrand

Excellent training provided by Dr. Fayed for TOGAF certification. The sessions were well-structured, engaging, and easy to follow. Dr. Fayed explained complex concepts clearly and shared valuable practical insights that helped strengthen my understanding of the TOGAF framework. The Kahoot sessions really helped me to remember fundamentals of TOGAF. Highly recommended!

I attended the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition led by Dr. Fayed and had a very positive experice.

The first thing was the qaulity of the operations team support from Luke and Jennifer, I had a few chaellenges that meant I was probably a problematic client but everything was dealt with amazingly well and I am really grateful for everyones help and support.

The venue is spot on interms fo quality, meals, snacks, rooms etc are all perfect.

The quality of the training itself was excellent, I didn't pass at the first attempt but the option to attend the course remotely for free a second time and focus on the areas I needed to improve in was a perfect revision to supplement my learning and get me through the exam.

Dr Fyed is insanely knowegdeable, approachable and wassupportive throughtout my learning journey - supplementing the course matrerial with just the right amount of extra experience and insights.

If you are looking to complete the TOGAF 10th Edition certification I sincerely and whole heartedly reccomend Firebrand Training

Very informative course, instructor was very engaging

Intense but supportive and highly rewarding. Fayed delivered very effective teaching, conveying complex material clearly and engagingly. Highly recommended.

Firebrand do a genuinely great job of making apprentices feel supported and they establish this aim right from the start. Any decisions made by the company are made with the best interest of the apprentice in mind.

Residential courses with Firebrand are a great change in routine and by the end of the course, you are put in the best possible position to pass the exam and achieve the certification you're aiming for.

Good Location, Well equipped and mostly working technology.

I followed the course "TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition" by Dr. Fayed. Most of the course is highly interactive, working on cases and discussing them in the group. This is both highly effective to gain a deeper understanding, and also makes the course more fun. In general I learnt a lot! It's very tiring though!

Great and relevant TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th editon course. Excellent given by instructor Dr. Fayed. High pace and focus works well for this topic.

Last week I attended an excellent course on TOGAF Enterprise Architecture under the expert guidance of dr. Ahmed Mohamed Fayed.

Dr Fayed is very knowledgeable on this subject, and has a broad experience in this field. This enables him to engage in discussions on everyday practice in this field, which helped me to understand how to operate the TOGAF framework. His teachings are filled with real-life examples, and videos to create a better understanding. He also uses Kahoot quizzes to test knowledge and progress, and for fun.

Dr Fayed’s teachings are clear and entertaining and left me with a real understanding of the TOGAF method, and the way to use this method. With the help of his teachings, I managed to pass both the foundation and the practitioner exam at the end of the week.

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.
