Discover Firebrand Training ↗Firebrand Training specialises in accelerated IT and technology training, professional certifications and apprenticeships. Founded in 2001, it has developed into an international training business supporting individuals and organisations.
Its intensive approach brings together focused teaching and practical learning to help delegates build professional skills. Businesses, prospective learners and apprentices all need clear communication with the teams supporting their training journey.
At Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire, Firebrand’s purpose-built residential training centre combines classrooms, hands-on labs, onsite exam facilities and accommodation nearby. The setting helps delegates concentrate on their course.
With learning extending into evenings and weekends, that experience also depends on practical support: finding the centre, understanding arrival arrangements and knowing where to turn if a problem arises.
Business & professional training
Enquiries with a purpose.
People ready to help.
Sales, apprenticeship and general enquiries need to reach the appropriate department or staff member.
Residential learning
A focused environment.
A reassuring point of contact.
Delegates attending Wyboston Lakes can need directions, arrival information or help raising a support request outside normal office hours.
The trusted partnership
Supporting the business.
Looking after the learner.
Norango combines daytime overflow call handling with intelligent routing and out of hours delegate assistance.
Our trained live receptionists work as an extension of Firebrand’s team. They identify the purpose of each call, navigate the staff directory and provide practical assistance or raise support requests when further help is needed.
The operational challenge
A busy team.
A prospective learner.
A delegate arriving late.
Firebrand receives enquiries from businesses, prospective delegates, apprentices and existing learners. With numerous staff and departments, calls need to be filtered and directed accurately, especially during busy periods.
Residential programmes create a second need. Delegates may require help finding the Wyboston Lakes centre, accessing training systems or resolving practical questions while the main office is unavailable.
Firebrand needed a flexible partner that could support both its internal operations and its delegates’ experience.
Daytime overflow.
A professional first response.
During normal working hours, Norango answers calls when Firebrand’s internal team is busy or unavailable. Receptionists use a comprehensive staff directory to identify the intended recipient and transfer the caller directly when appropriate.
Sales and apprenticeship enquiries.
The right department.
Receptionists establish the purpose of each call. Genuine sales enquiries go to the appropriate salesperson, while apprenticeship enquiries are identified and connected with the apprenticeship team. General messages and staff-specific calls follow the relevant route.
Relevant calls connected.
Unwanted interruptions filtered.
Unsolicited cold calls and irrelevant enquiries are screened. By understanding what the caller needs, Norango helps Firebrand’s staff receive relevant enquiries and concentrate their attention on the people they can assist.
Wyboston Lakes delegates.
Practical out of hours help.
Live receptionists help with directions, arrival information, orientation and questions about where delegates need to go. They also assist callers experiencing training-system access difficulties and provide practical guidance during evenings and weekends.
Further assistance needed.
A support request raised.
When a problem cannot be resolved directly, Norango can record and raise a support request. The enquiry is directed through Firebrand’s agreed procedures to the team responsible for further assistance.
