David Davies’s Experience

Head of Sales - EMEA

Firebrand Training Europe Limited

(Information Technology and Services industry)

September 2002 — Present (7 years 5 months)

Firebrand Training is the new name for The Training Camp.

As the European pioneer of Accelerated Learning we are now completely independent and have adopted our new name across all operations in the UK and Germany.

Since its inception in 2001, the company has grown at an incredible rate, going from start-up to an £10m company and training over 12,000 students in courses across the IT spectrum.

The new name has been developed with the ethos of the company in mind. The definition of a concept of an idea or person that challenges outmoded beliefs and methods suits the way Firebrand Training delivers industry-leading training as well as embodying its approach to the industry.
