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.

A Great session on TOGAF done by Dr Fayed. He covered all topics including practice exercises and explaining the differences between the opinions from different people. Ensured participation from everyone and was a good listener for everyone's thoughts..

The course was good and a great way to learn foundational knowledge in network engineering. The CompTIA residential courses were good as well, providing another excellent opportunity to build more foundational knowledge and offering us the chance to get certified in the CompTIA courses. Even though we had three different learning mentors, the last two learning mentors we had were supportive, communicated well, clearly set out their expectations, and would address any concerns and worries.

I took the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner 10th Edition course with Dr. Fayed. I had previously self studied the TOGAF material and had managed to pass the Foundation exam off the back of my own studies. I also took the Practitioner exam previously (prior to the Firebrand training course) and failed. I really struggled with the longer questions in the exam and how I could apply the theory I had learned in the TOGAF guides to them. When I attended the course, the structure of the course and Dr. Fayed’s tutoring unlocked the material for me. We participated in a number of practical workshops in which we analysed sample questions and went through the rationale for the best answers, as well as studying the theory in varied and engaging ways. I went from being unconfident that I would see a difference in my exam result to feeling very prepared with an array of techniques and a much better grasp of the material in a little over a day. When I sat the exam, I passed with a very high score and I was thrilled! I heartily recommend this course and Dr. Fayed, who was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. If I do further training in the future, I hope our paths cross again!

The course was well organized and accommodations we're excellent. Our instructor was very capable in delivering the course material in a fun and engaging way.

The course content was very informative and set out in a way that was easy to follow and absorb. But really all credit goes to Dr Fayed. His presentation, engagement and fun approach to learning and TOGAF were really what made this so enjoyable and why there are so many successful TOGAF practitioners at the end of the course. I couldnt recommend Dr Fayed more and look forward to undertaking my next certification with him.

I attended Togaf enterprise architecture combined 10th edition
Dr.fayed was very encouraging and he explained in very clear and smooth way and he is really straight to the point also I loved how his class was interactive and not boring although the content is heavy .. I enjoyed the class and everything was very comfortable .. thanks dr.fayed and firebrand

I did TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition with Dr Fayed as the instructor. Really appreciated the way he delivered the teaching, through real world examples which brought sometimes abstract topics to life. There were plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and mini quizzes throughout to help knowledge retention. Would recommend to others!

I recently completed the TOGAF Combined course with Firebrand Training, and I can confidently say it was one of the best professional learning experiences I’ve ever had.

From start to finish, Firebrand’s approach was structured, intensive, and incredibly effective. The materials were well-prepared, the pace was just right, and the support provided throughout the program was outstanding.

A special mention goes to Dr. Fayed, our trainer, whose expertise, energy, and teaching style made all the difference. He has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into clear, practical insights, all while keeping the sessions engaging and interactive. His deep knowledge of enterprise architecture, combined with real-world examples, not only prepared me thoroughly for certification but also gave me tools I can apply directly in my role.

TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition with Dr. Fayed.

A challenging course, but made much more enjoyable by Dr Fayed who is extremely knowledgeable on the topic. Exam tips and techniques were shared throughout, along with quizzes to ensure the learning was embedded prior to moving onto a new topic.
Highly recommend Firebrand, the Wyboston Lake Campus and especially Dr Fayed.

Superb delivery of the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course by Dr. Fayed. Delighted to have passed on my first try!

There was a bit of struggle at the start on mentor finding but this company made a major comeback with having Perran James as our mentor, he picked up what was left off from the other mentor's and put us on the correct path in the smoothest way possible which was very appreciated. The resources that are provided was also great from this company and provided alot of support from Perran on understanding the certain resources given. Overall 100% recommend and 100% recommend to ask for Perran as a mentor.

I recently completed the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Combined 10th Edition course, which includes the Foundation, Practitioner, and the Learning Studies.

There is a lot of material to get through to obtain your TOGAF certification. Our course was taught by Dr. Fayed. I found his way of training to be very pleasant. The material is occasionally alternated with a short video that is relevant to the topic or a recap by means of questions. Dr. Fayed also knows where the complexity of the subject matter lies and pays more attention to these components. He is also very good at relating it to practical, real-world examples.

Regarding the location itself: At first, I was skeptical about staying overnight on-site, as the venue was only 25 minutes from my home. In hindsight, I am very glad that I stayed "in the bubble" and was able to maintain my full focus on achieving the certification. The days lasted from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM, and we were also given material and assignments to prepare after the classroom training.
