I did CISSP with Firebrand nr Cambridge. Not cheap but got the qual in 7 days of hard slog. The exam was like voluntary hanging.

Have a look at QA. https://www.qa.com/
And if you're an IPSE member, you can get a really good discount on a lot of QA's courses (enough to pay for membership!)

Whatever you do DO NOT use Arrow ECS. Was great when I was being put through training by my MSP and was just a bit of a jolly, but if i'd have forked out a couple of grand for a two week course with them I'd have been livid by day two. Instructors always start late, tend to not know a whole lot about their chosen topic, know even less about orhwe technology that touches on it and overall cannot deliver.
The best thing I learnt from the second week long VMware course I did with them was this joke:
"How do you know when a Labrador is hungry..?
...
...
It's Eye's are open"
- Seriously, best thing I learnt all week.

As I am still trying to find my next role, I'm looking at gaining some further qualifications namely Agile certification, possibly AWS architect and CISSP.
Which training companies would you recommend for the above in the North West/Midlands area?
Thanks
Give acloudguru a go for the aws stuff though.
