Seven reasons why you should sit your CAST AND course with Firebrand Training

You’ll be CAST AND certified in just 3 days. With us, you’ll be CAST AND trained in record time

Our CAST AND course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras

Pass CAST AND first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your CAST AND course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation. Everything else is free

You’ll learn more CAST AND. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor

You’ll learn CAST AND faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily

You’ll be studying CAST AND with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 30,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business

You'll do more than study CAST AND courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Dave Day. - EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v8) (5 days) (10/6/2013 to 14/6/2013)

"The course required a large knowledge of TCP/IP. The CEH v8 has changed completely, so the complete course ware must be reviewed. These five days are very hard. We studied from 9 to 1 o'clock in the Night. So this will be a hard week, but the result is a good knowledge of the complete field of ethical Hacking. The practical part is a little to short, but there will be no more time within these 5 days of this course. So thanks to our Trainer for the good preparation ! ! ! Now Iva the next course in focus. Thanks TJ"

The EC-Council Centre of Advanced Security Training has arrived at Firebrand Training. This three-day Advanced Network Defense course is intensive, and will make you think like a hacker. You will learn how to defend against the latest attacks.

Warning: This is not a beginner’s course. You'll be expected to know how to attempt attacks against many platforms and architectures. The instructor will challenge you to attack a device or system, then you will learn how to defend against it. The course is right for you if you're a: firewall administrator, system architect, or system / Windows administrator.

You will learn:

How to identify security weaknesses in computer systems or networks, before it's too late
How to use hacking and pen testing to defend against various attacks
Best practices in developing secure system and network configurations
How to deploy machines in a protected state
Techniques critical to the protection of your entire enterprise against some of today’s most advanced threats

Note: this course doesn't include an exam, but you'll become Advanced Network Defense certified.
